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 our area each November for High School and Community Presentations. To date, Chris has spoken to over 20,000 students at over 18 local schools as well as presentations for the whole community. One attendee remarked…
“If you EVER have the chance to hear Chris Herren speak, take advantage of the opportunity. Chris has an incredible way of connecting with his audience and was able to stir emotions in a way most speakers do not.”
This partnership is one of the most impactful in the history of our organization. For more information about Chris Herren’s mission visit herrentalks.com. To learn more, become a sponsor, or bring Chris to your school, business, or community, contact info@melscharities.org.
