The Chris Hammond Youth Foundation is a non-profit organization founded for the purpose of financially assisting in the construction and/or maintenance of recreation and athletic facilities in rural Alabama communities.

I believe that athletics can serve as a foundation for the development of strong character in the lives of children. Athletics provides an environment where children can learn virtues such as discipline, teamwork, dedication, honesty, and respect for authority. Unfortunately, rural areas are most often lacking in any such facilities. Ball fields and gyms are places that create unity. Growing up in Vestavia I was blessed with facilities both in the community and at church to play baseball and basketball. I want to see the Chris Hammond Youth Foundation make the same impact for kids in rural Alabama, and 100% of the money raised will be directed to furthering this goal.

The Lord has blessed me with the ability to make a living doing something I always dreamed of. I intend to use this blessing and my best efforts to help raise funds that can provide a place for kids to be able to pursue their dreams as I did.

Sincerely,

Chris Hammond
