Giv'er for Charity
In early 2018, Chris Gray decided he wanted to give back to the many communities he has visited throughout his career. To give back, Chris started "Giv'er for Charity."
"Giv'er for Charity" is a fundraising campaign aimed at raising money for a variety of amazing Canadian charities. Chris partners with various charities who are in need of funds and want to increase the awareness of their cause. Chris helps them raise money by selling merchandise at his professional wrestling events and speaking engagements. Chris then donates 100% of the proceeds to the charity of choice.
Charities are chosen by Chris Gray's extremely loyal fanbase, or Chris chooses the charity himself because the organization has a unique connection to a particular fan who has directly impacted Chris in a positive way.
