Built in his memory. Driven by his impact.

The Christopher Barkley Foundation was created to honor the life and legacy of Christopher Barkley — and to fight the stigma around mental health that costs us people like him every day.

Chris was an engineer, a patent attorney, a soccer goalie, a husband, and one of those people whose energy filled every room he walked into. He passed away on January 16, 2022. He was 41 years old.

The foundation carries his name forward. It exists to make sure the conversations Chris never had out loud become the conversations other men feel safe enough to have.

Where the money goes.

10% of every Sadboy order goes directly to the Christopher Barkley Foundation. Not a portion. Not sometimes. Every drop, every order, no exceptions.

The foundation uses those funds to fight stigma through awareness campaigns, community resources, and an annual event held in Chris's name — bringing people together around the conversations that matter most.

Why Sadboy is built around this mission.

Sadboy was created by Chris Babb — a professional artist and someone who knew Christopher Barkley personally. Every drop is built around original artwork that explores a different theme, a different emotion, a different side of what it means to carry something and keep going.

The art is the conversation. The apparel is how you wear it into the world. And every purchase moves the mission forward.
