old Chris Maki. Chris was randomly attacked, robbed and stabbed
to death while walking to his apartment in Charlotte, NC on
November 5, 1997.
The mission of the foundation is to educate all, especially
the young, about the occurrence and the consequences of violence
in our society today.

Exciting
New Program called Triggered!
A On the 25th anniversary of Chris murder we partnered
with Plymouth State Universitys TIGER program to fund
the development of a new program entitled Triggered. We
also recently received a grant with the help of Chris
cousin Paul Morris. The company Paul works for, White Mountain
Capital, Inc awarded the foundation $10,000 to bring the
program to area schools.
The Triggered program is designed for the upper middle and
high school student and focuses on addiction: drug and alcohol.
While Chris himself was not involved with drugs in any way;
those who attacked and murdered him were addicted. For 25
plus years, we his family and friends have suffered the
consequences of their addiction.
Triggered launched in the Fall of 2023 and the feedback
has been extremely positive.
