 Christopher's Community was established to assist families in Tampa Bay who have children with muscular dystrophy. We provide financial support, helping to alleviate some of the burden families feel when their needs go beyond what insurance or other organizations provide. Christopher’s Community’s proceeds fund home and vehicle modifications, enhancing accessibility and independence so that families may focus on loving and caring for their children.
We formed this foundation in honor of our friend’s son, Christopher, who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. We witnessed the struggle his family went through trying to obtain assistance for the many non-covered expenses involved in his care. After our first fundraiser, “Fall Into Margaritaville” in September 2005, we were able to help Christopher’s family purchase a ceiling-track lift system and pool lift. Our goal is to reach many other families in the Tampa Bay area in the coming years.
