Chris was instrumental in crafting and guiding the Foundation’s entrepreneurship work, which supports entrepreneurship programs for young people in Flint and across the country. His work embodied Mott’s practice of shoe-leather philanthropy. He found great joy in connecting with the people and communities we seek to serve and in working with both kids and adults.
