FIRST ANNUAL CHICAGO GALA benefitting Featuring Foundation Executive Director, Taya Kyle Saturday, May 13th 2017 Loews Hotel Chicago 5:30pm Reception 7pm Dinner & Program 9pm Dancing with Live Band
The Chris Kyle Frog Foundation (CKFF) was founded by Taya Kyle to honor the life and legacy of service of her husband, American Sniper Chris Kyle. Our Mission To honor God, Country, and Families who serve by providing experiences that strengthen military and first responder marriages and families. All too often, the family support network of those serving our country either on the military front line or as first responders can be overlooked or forgotten. The pressures that are a natural outcome of this dangerous and stressful work can often result in damaged relationships and fractured family units. This creates additional stressors on those who serve as well as the family members that support that service. Chris Kyle the author of New York Times Best Selling book American Sniper and his wife, Taya, knew all too well the issues encountered by military personnel and first responder families. Before his untimely passing in February 2013, Chris was working on his vision for the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation to provide experiences for military and first responder families to work through many of the same difficulties he and Taya had experienced post-deployment. Today, Taya and the CKFF Team are dedicated to fulfilling Chris vision of stronger, more empowered marriages and families. Creating this legacy serves as the continued inspiration to the CKFF Team, Supporters, and Volunteers.
Our Programs Revitalization Retreats (RR): Our flagship program is inspired by the personal experience of Chris and Taya Kyle and represent a unique opportunity for military and first responder families to downshift from the intensity of missionfocused life of service and reconnect. CKFF Grants: Grants are given to organizations that we respect and are in alignment with our mission to serve those who serve us, with a strong focus on the family. Date Night Out: An opportunity for CKFF and community partners to say thank you to military and first responder married couples and create continued awareness about the challenges these families face. Empowered Spouses Retreat (ESR): An intensive group retreat experience for military and first responder female spouses designed to provide new experiences in an outdoor setting with experienced, clinical coaching. Mastering Your Marriage (MYM): The MYM experience is a research-based program being planned in partnership with the Diana R. Garland School of Social Work at Baylor University and The University of Texas (UT) at Austin School of Social Work. This program will launch Fall 2017.
