Established in 1997 by the family and friends of thirty year 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 University’s 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. Learn more about The Triggered program here.
