Chris Long Foundation

Founded by two-time Super Bowl Champion and Walter Payton Man of the Year Chris Long and his wife Megan, the Chris Long Foundation brings together ambassadors, service providers, and experts to make a difference in communities by providing access to clean water, meeting basic needs, and inspiring positive change. Since 2018, our partnership has put more than 50,000 books into the hands of children in need through the Foundation’s EdZone initiative. We’ve also hosted memorable Reading Celebrations in Philadelphia, Charlottesville, and St. Louis. Beyond books, Chris Long and fellow athletes have personally engaged with students in First Book classrooms—both in person and virtually—reading stories and answering questions, creating unforgettable experiences for young readers
