Chris Harris Jr. – The Chris Harris Jr. Foundation
The goal of the Chris Harris Jr. Foundation is to get kids to make pledges about how they will approach school, chores, physical fitness and community service. Harris and his wife also each have a child in the program that they personally mentor. The Chris Harris Jr. foundation will always look at identifying groups that may be overlooked and find ways to support them and put them in the spotlight. Throughout his football career, Harris has consistently found himself playing the role of the Underdog; his foundation helps other Underdogs reach their potential.
There are thousands of children in Denver and across the country who are also Underdogs, and the Chris Harris Jr. Foundation is Harris’ way of helping those kids rise above their circumstances and strive for greatness. Harris believes every Underdog deserves a shot at success. Every summer Harris holds a free Underdog Football Skills Academy in Denver as well as his hometown of Tulsa, Okla. to support young underdogs trying to live out their dreams. Harris and his wife are also active in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.
Additionally, Harris is also an active voice speaking out against domestic violence, a problem Chris believes we can begin to solve if male athletes and role models take a proactive stand against it.
