At last night’s A Chance In Life gala in San Francisco, we honored and celebrated one of the most generous people I know, Christine / Chris Heckart. And she was honored alongside Barry Bonds (Yes, the Homerun King.)
That statement carries a lot of weight. I have known Christine from our first jobs out of college several decades ago, worked with her across at least four companies, and traveled the world with her, close friends and family. She is truly a lifelong friend.
A Chance in Life is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering marginalized and at-risk youth worldwide through education, healthcare, comprehensive support services, and leadership development training. (See link in comments for more info on A Chance in Life.)
Christine has always had compassion for children and those early in career, from the kids giving trees at Christmas to putting kids (not just her own) through college and helping them find work.
She is living her values masterfully as she gives unselfishly without expectation of any return, for as long as I can remember. She inspires many and others amplify her impact may times over.
To Christine’s family, dear friends, and the awe-inspiring Empowered CMO community, I’m truly grateful to be part of a group of amazing humans who love Christine dearly and propel her work.
Kate Bullis, you are one heck of a matchmaker and enabler. Thank you for bringing us all together.
I’m a walking “Chance In Life.” Christine, I will continue to work hard to pay it forward and amplify your work. Thank you will never be enough.
