Each spring, Christopher’s Haven hosts their Fashion Show fundraiser. This year, the 7th annual fashion show, scheduled for Thursday, May 21, 2020, has of course been canceled. In lieu of their Fashion Show, the organization will host a YouTube-athon, a virtual fundraising event to engage the Christopher’s Haven community and its supporters. All are invited to the YouTube-athon, which features special guest appearances by athletes and their families from the Boston Bruins, New England Patriots, and Boston Red Sox as well as celebs who hold Christopher’s Haven close to their heart, such as actor Chris Evans, and comedian Rob Corddry. Viewers will also hear from past and present Christopher’s Haven families about how this organization helped their families.

Christopher’s Haven encourages all to join them and support in the absence of their biggest fundraiser of the year. The first-ever Christopher’s Haven YouTube-athon will premiere at 6:30pm ET on Thursday, May 21 on their YouTube channel. Viewers are encouraged to interact through the live comment feed and donate if they have the means to do so.
Christopher’s Haven, a Boston-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is a home for kids and their families while the child battles cancer and has been the only “home away from home” that has remained open during the COVID-19 crisis due to their ability to let families quarantine in the privacy of their own apartment within Christopher’s Haven.
