Chris Duhon Stand Tall Foundation

The Stand Tall Foundation was formed in 1998 as a charitable organization. Chris Duhon’s Hurricane Relief Fund became a chapter of the foundation to support his efforts in providing aid to his hometown of Slidell, Louisiana, which was devastated by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005.

Chris gave new life to the foundation and formed the Chris Duhon Stand Tall Foundation in 2007. On March 5, 2009, Chris rang the closing bell at NASDAQ to draw attention to the foundation even more. Click here for more information on the foundation and the Chris Duhon Hurricane Relief Fund.

The Chris Duhon Stand Tall Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization incorporated in Connecticut, but is run by its office located in North Carolina.
