Click HERE to see the growing relationship established between Chris Herren and Mel’s Charities.
Chris Herren was an All-American basketball star who broke scoring records and realized his lifelong dream of playing in the NBA before losing his career and almost his family to the disease of addiction. Alcohol and drug-free since 2008, Chris has spoken to over 2 million students nationwide.
“When I saw Chris’ story and the lives he has impacted, I knew we had to bring his unique and powerful message to Ozaukee County.”
Tom “Mel” Stanton
Since 2021, Mel’s Charities and generous sponsors have brought Chris to Ozaukee County each November for High School and Community Presentations.
This partnership is one of the most impactful in the history of our organization.
