The Story Behind CM3 Foundation

Charles “Chuckie” Maude was a beloved son, brother, father, family member, and friend whose life touched many people. He was known for his sense of humor, his personality, and the love he had for those around him. Above all, Chuckie was a proud father to two daughters who meant the world to him.

Like many fathers, Chuckie loved spending time with his girls and watching them grow. He was proud of the young women they were becoming and cherished the role he played in their lives. His love for his daughters was something that family and friends saw every day.

When Chuckie's life was tragically taken by gun violence, our family was left devastated. Along with the overwhelming grief came the reality of the financial and emotional burdens that often follow such a loss. It was during this difficult time that we realized how many families face similar challenges while trying to navigate unimaginable heartbreak.

CM3 Foundation was created in Chuckie's memory to provide financial assistance and support to families affected by gun violence. Our mission is rooted in personal experience and a commitment to helping others during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

Today, Chuckie's legacy lives on through the work of CM3 Foundation. Every family we help, every event we host, and every dollar raised is a reminder that even in the face of tragedy, compassion and community can make a meaningful difference.

While we cannot change what happened, we can honor Chuckie's life by supporting families who are facing the same struggles our family once faced.
