Severna Park, MD 21146 Silent Auction • Raffle Baskets $20 after May 15th and at the door A love rekindled, a legacy continued The Chris Gives Foundation emerged from a remarkable reunion. After meeting briefly in 1984 at Chris's Midas shop, Robin and Chris reconnected 34 years later, married in 2019, and built a partnership both in life and business.
Just days before his unexpected passing, Chris told Robin, "We are not doing enough" to help others—words that would become the foundation's inspiration. Robin has since dedicated herself to continuing the generous legacy of her late husband, who believed that through his auto repair businesses he could make his greatest impact on the community.
Today, the Foundation honors Chris's memory by focusing on two areas of impact: providing scholarships for high school students pursuing automotive repair careers and offering critical auto repair assistance to families in need. Through these initiatives, Robin continues Chris's lifelong commitment to serving others while addressing both the future of the automotive industry and immediate transportation needs in the community.
