Chris has been active for many years in leading and supporting several charitable organizations that touch communities, young people, and those in need…

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world's leader in the search for a cure for cystic fibrosis, and nearly every CF-specific drug available today was made possible with our financial support. We are a donor-funded, 501(c)(3) nonprofit that is fully accredited by the Better Business Bureau's (BBB) Wise Giving Alliance program.

The Congressional Award is the United States Congress’ award for young Americans. Our Foundation remains Congress’ only charity. The program is open to all youth ages 14 to 23 and is non-partisan, voluntary, and non-competitive. Young people may register when they turn 13 1/2 years old and must complete their activities before their 24th birthday.

The Washington Ireland Program (WIP) inspires and develops promising leaders through a program of personal development, policy debate and community service.  Our aim is to support leaders committed to building a future of peace and prosperity for Northern Ireland and Ireland.
