Our son Christopher was taken from us abruptly on February 14, 2004 by the recklessness of a drunken driver. We sadly know all to well the grief and sorrow related to losing a loved one. In the days following Christopher's death we worked to find a way to honor his life and create a legacy of giving that would live on forever in his name. We have chosen to focus on helping children and supporting Chris's true love - music.

The Christopher Saathoff Foundation is now a recognized 501c-3 charitable organization that raises funds through events and donations to assist groups that provide support for children in need throughout the world. The foundation also supports organizations that work to preserve music as an art and to work to ensure that "the music never stops......"

In our website you can learn about the organizations we have found that do the work supporting the needs of children and in support of the art of music. If you have any questions and/or would like to help us please contact us at marlene.saathoff@gmail.com.
