Highlighted Opportunities

Annual Appeal

The Chris Klug Foundation inspires and educates people to save lives through organ donation awareness, sharing the powerful story of Olympic snowboarder and organ transplant recipient Chris Klug to show what’s possible when someone says “yes” to donation.

Our Annual Appeal is essential to sustaining the education, outreach, and community programs that help more individuals and families understand the impact of registering as an organ donor. With your support, we can expand our reach, spark meaningful conversations, and empower more people to make informed, life-giving decisions.

Every gift—no matter the size—helps turn hope into action and honors the donors and families who make second chances possible. Please consider making a donation today to help us continue this vital work and save more lives.

Good Luck In Cape Town

We are proud to be one of the first International Charity Partners of the Cape Town Marathon. This year, three runners will be heading to South Africa to run in honor of organ, eye, and tissue donation. We cannot wait to see them achieve their dreams while running for a cause bigger than themselves and bigger than CKF!
