Olympic Hopeful Magic for Homeless

Donation protected
Help bring magic (and food) to the lives of those who need it this holiday season while fueling the Olympic dreams of a U.S. swimmer and illusionist who hopes to make a change while he accomplishes his goals.


Chuck Katis is an American record holding swimmer, magician, and entrepreneur who attended Harvard and University of California: Berkeley. Despite these accomplishments, he knows what struggle is like, and for many nights in high school he and his twin sister were unsure of where their next meal would come from.

Over this holiday season, Chuck will be performing multiple shows at venues across San Francisco (dates and times TBA). When you donate you'll recieve a ticket to the live event as well as a livestream of the event in case you're not in SF. Half of all money raised wil feed the homeless of the city. 

The other half of money raised will allow Chuck to meet his training costs for the next 6mo. in the leadup to U.S. Olympic swimming trials where he hopes to place in the top two in his event in order to qualify for the 2016 team to Rio.





Chuck hopes to diverge from the norm and give back to those who need it in the very process of accomplishing his dream. To learn more about who he is check out these links:
