THE FOUNDATION

Christopher Barkley.

The friend all of this came from.
JANUARY 16, 2022

He was someone's best friend.

An engineer who worked on the F-35. A patent attorney who made Law Review his first year of law school. A soccer goalie who earned Goalie of the Year his senior season. A husband. A friend.

The person in every room whose laugh you could pick out from across the building.

Chris was brilliant, driven, and deeply loved. And like so many men, he carried things quietly.

BUILT IN HIS NAME

The Christopher Barkley Foundation.

Founded in his memory, the Foundation works on the thing that took him. The stigma that keeps men quiet about what they are carrying.

It does that through awareness, through resources for men and the people who love them, and through an annual event held in his name.

What the money does.

Awareness

Making it normal for men to say something out loud, and normal for the people around them to ask twice.

Resources

Getting real support in front of the men who need it and the people trying to help them.

The annual event

One day a year in his name, bringing people together around the thing nobody wants to talk about.

Buy a shirt. Do some good.

Every piece you wear puts money toward the mission and puts the conversation in front of somebody new.
