Giving back by living fully

Christopher Flynn Tucci departed from us unexpectedly on October 22, 2023 due to an undiagnosed congenital heart condition; his passing has left an indelible mark on the hearts of those who knew him. We come together to celebrate his vibrant spirit and his impact on those around him. This heartbreaking loss has inspired us to create a lasting memorial in his name. This non-profit aims to commemorate and spread Christopher's passion, kindness, and zest for life by providing grants, scholarships, and resources to lifelong learners pursuing their passions.

Boundless

Drive

Chris was athletic, intelligent, and curious - but most importantly he was kind. He pursued various passions humbly and quietly during his short 27 years with us. He excelled at many of them, but was never one to brag: he skied, snowboarded, ran a marathon, played the guitar and piano, took singing and acting lessons, and coded - just to name a few of his interests.

Compassionate

Service

He had a passion for giving back. He spent one spring break from college building houses in El Salvador. He spent many years in high school and college volunteering with the Adaptive Sports Foundation in Windham, NY as a ski instructor. He also spent a winter season in Breckenridge, CO working in their Adaptive program and attending the Hartford Ski Spectacular, expanding his impact. He was very aware of how fortunate he was and wanted to give to those who didn’t have the same resources.

Bright

Legacy

He summed up his life philosophy better than anyone else could in an award-winning paper he wrote while at Fordham University: “All I know for sure is that when I look back on my life, I want to have enjoyed it, I want to have given it my all, and I want to have been a net positive on the rest of the world. That is all.”
