Professor Chris Xaver is First and
Foremost a Teacher
The Sweet Life with Chris Xaver is completely produced, directed, shot and even scored by former students. Current communications and hotel and restaurant management students intern on the show…gaining valuable real world experience…experiences that used to be limited to students studying in NY or LA. Absolutely every single person connected to the show has a college connection. And they take teaching seriously. The set is a working extension of the classroom.
Located in a rural area of upstate NY, many of X's students have financial need. TC3 is not a privately endowed prestigious institution. Yet, they make things happen. While X contributes significant resources to all her philanthropic causes, she is actively seeking contributions to assist these students in fulfilling their educational needs. A tax deductible contribution can be sent to:

Chris also serves on a number of non-profit boards and would be honored if you considered assisting these worthy causes.

Fires are tragic. Something no one wants to experience. Life changing. And just imagine how much more significant that is for a child. Kids have enough to worry about without the added pressure dealing with burn injuries.
Burn Camp is a chance for kids who’ve survived a fire to come together to be kids. It’s a special place to spend four days with old and new friends. The overnight camp is an opportunity for kids between the ages of 6 and 16 to come together to have fun and share their feelings and experiences. Arts. Crafts. Sports. Games. Water sports. Those are all the things most kids experience at camp. But at Burn Camp kids also spend time with nurses, social workers, adult burn survivors and firefighters. It’s an opportunity for them to create a new and positive self-image.
The cost of the Burn Camp is entirely underwritten so that there is no cost to the children or their families.
We are the Burn Foundation of CNY. A non-profit, 100-percent volunteer based organization committed to burn support, awareness and prevention. We understand the physical, emotional and financial challenges faced by burn survivors and their families. And we’re working to make their recovery process a bit easier.
