McCaffrey founded the Christian McCaffrey Foundation shortly after entering the NFL. The foundation's mission is to serve as a catalyst for the community and
country by supporting those who sacrifice daily for the benefit of many. We show up for our servicemen and women for standing at the front of the most critical challenges of our time. Since it's inception, McCaffrey's foundation has expanded beyond the military. In addition to working to prevent veteran suicide, the foundation supports front line workers, serves underserved youth and provides support to children undergoing medical treatment.
His foundation's Logan Project strives to connect children going through medical treatment through gaming in honor of Logan Hale, a fan of McCaffrey who passed away after a battle with cancer in 2021. "I found out he had been buried in my jersey, and I just kind of broke down. That hit me like a ton of bricks. "I found out he wanted to do this while he was going through what he was going through. I was extremely determined to make that happen." After reading Hale's obituary, which mentioned his video game dream, McCaffrey decided to put his vision into action. "I know Logan would be over the moon, to see this actually come true," Hale's mother, Kristina, said. "But most of all because his favorite player, the person he admired the most, is making it come true."
