Chris Graebe: Monday October 9th--Chris Graebe is one of the bright stars of MTV’s top rated extreme sports reality programs, Road Rules: South Pacific & Battle of the Sexes 2. Chris will also be finished filming & hosting a new reality series entitled “Reality Trip”, which should premier nationwide in the fall. With the platform of MTV and his unique stance of being a positive role model on shows that typically depict everything but a positive example, Chris is clearly a light in a very dark place. His purpose is to inspire today’s youth with positive messages of sexual abstinence, drug & alcohol awareness and his love of Jesus Christ. Chris has spoken at many events from high school assemblies at our nation’s capitol to college rallies, youth conventions and at numerous churches across the United States. Chris brought an element of reason and stability to Road Rules and Battle of the Sexes 2 and was often the peace keeper and arbitrator among the cast. This unique ability, coupled with his unfailing sense of humor, enables him to ingratiate himself to his audience quickly. Chris’s passion is to strengthen youth by encouraging them to grasp and believe the idea that they do not have to partake in drugs and alcohol to fit in or be cool. Ask anyone who has witnessed one of his speaking appearances and they will attest that his pop culture celebrity keeps the youthful crowds tuned in to his every word.

What were some big things from last year?

Baby HOPE Day - Tuesday, October 18

Carolina HOPE held this fall's Baby HOPE Day on Tuesday, October 18th in the Pit. In partnership with volunteers from Carolina Students for Life, we distributed many free items such as baby clothes, bottles, diapers, and maternity clothes to members of the UNC Chapel Hill community.
