THE FOUNDATION

EMPOWERING EVERYONE TO LIVE LIFE WITHOUT LIMITS.

For those living with spinal cord injuries and neuromuscular disabilities, the Chris Norton Foundation provides the support, resources, and community to live rich, fulfilling lives. Because when you break down barriers, the “impossible” is anything but.

WE’RE ON A MISSION.

The Chris Norton Foundation (CNF) is a 501(c) nonprofit dedicated to empowering individuals and families living with spinal cord injuries and neuromuscular disabilities.

Each year, we host dozens of families at the CNF Wheelchair camp, offering a unique opportunity to connect, play, and experience a deep sense of belonging. We also provide grants for essential equipment and therapies at facilities across the nation.

OUR VISION

Making a World Where Everyone Belongs
Building a Supportive National Community
Living with Genuine Purpose

IT ALL STARTED ON A FOOTBALL FIELD.

During the sixth game of his freshman college football season, Chris went for a tackle and hit the ball carrier head on. Later, doctors diagnosed him with a severe spinal cord injury.

It may have felt like the end of a journey. As it turned out, it was only the beginning.

With personal grit and the support of a tightknit community, Chris worked to recover, heal, and adapt to his new circumstances. Inspired by his experience, he set out to make a difference.

In 2012, he founded the Chris Norton Foundation.

Today, the Foundation has awarded more than a million dollars in equipment grants and hosted hundreds of families at the CNF Wheelchair Camp.

OUR JOURNEY’S JUST BEGINNING.

The Chris Norton Foundation has impacted thousands of lives, and we’re just getting started. Today, one of our biggest goals is to host CNF Wheelchair Camps in every major geographic region of the U.S.

Families across the nation need our support. By hosting more camps, we can reduce barriers like travel expenses and give everyone the opportunity to live life without limits.
