Captain Spectrum Suit Drive
Donation protected
This video is a surprise treat that was offered to several children, some with Autism (Christopher included )that were being bullied at their school. Christopher tried to commit suicide twice due to being bullied. After going through such a dark chapter in his life, Chris created an antibullying club called DEFEND and BE A FRIEND. This club has grown tremendously at the Stewart County High School over a year's time and reduced bullying throughout his school. After his hospital release, it sparked an idea.........a superhero called Captain Spectrum (his secret identity). This superhero focuses on creating an anti-bullying environment in schools. Chris has turned his crisis to a cause that is helping kids across the state of Tennessee and soon the nation.
Chris has an opportunity to sit on a panel for TN suicide prevention. Seeing through the eyes of a kid who has been there can give a new perspective.
Our dilemma: He's outgrown his superhero costume made of spandex and needs a newer updated professional superhero costume to be used at speaking events and antibullying events around his state and eventually the country. Being autistic, Chris has social anxiety, but when he puts the costume on it gives him courage he doesn't have outside the costume,
Your donations will not only help Chris but will impact kids that have been or are currently being bullied as we speak. Please give to support Christopher's cause!
