Although the missions for each of the previously mentioned corporations may differ, the fundamental basis of running them is the same. As a matter of fact, almost all of them make use or recognize some type of artistic measure to help with fundraising and creating awareness of their causes. Chris Allers is also a consultant for other nonprofits, an author and a professional mental and physical health counselor.
