This year, our goal is to raise $25,000 to launch the foundation with a community foundation. As of December 2025 we have raised $15,000.
How You Can Help
We are asking for your support in making this vision a reality. Every contribution, big or small, will go directly toward building this foundation in Chris’s name, ensuring his legacy continues to touch lives for years to come.
To help us close this gap and open our Donor Advised Fund, please email Michele.kader@n2co.com to make a cash donation or item for silent auction at an upcoming Real Producers event.
Your contribution will help us reach our fundraising goal and, together, we can provide stability, education, and opportunities to families and youth who deserve the chance to thrive despite hardship.
Thank you for your support, kindness, and generosity in helping us keep Chris’s spirit alive in the most meaningful way possible.
With love and gratitude,
