PROGRAMS
EDUCATION
The SlimmDuck Foundation is committed to helping students reach their academic and educational goals by providing resources and removing barriers. The foundation works to provide resources that include school supplies, backpacks, apparel and other items to children as they start a new school year. As we continue this work, the foundation will look to identify initiatives that support entrepreneurship, financial literacy and more.
PROGRAMS
Athletics
We are committed to growing and enhancing youth athletic participation through the game of basketball. Chris Boucher knows firsthand the importance and benefits of participating in youth sports– increases confidence, builds teamwork, improves physical and mental wellness. The foundation hosts free basketball camps and tournaments where Chris is hands-on leading drills and games with the youth. They also receive giveaways that include t-shirts, shorts, and more.
PROGRAMS
Goodwill + Holiday InitiativeS
We are committed to providing basic necessities year-round to youth and families in need. As a youngster, Chris experienced the stress of being homeless and often did not know when the next meal was coming. For this reason, the foundation works with local restaurants and chefs to distribute nutritious meals to families. The foundation also works to alleviate family hardship during the holidays by providing gifts and toys to youth.
PROGRAMS
Mental health
We are commited to breaking the stigma around mental health in underserved communities by providing youth with accessible, activity-based support, mentorship, and education that prioritizes wellness alongside achievement.
