Choices Foundation
The Choices Foundation is a tax-exempt charitable non-profit organization established by Chuck Gallagher to accomplish two educational purposes.
First, the Choices Foundation supports providing ethical educational presentations, workshops, and keynotes to universities, colleges, high schools and religious organizations. Chuck, and other speakers, talk to young people about ethics, honesty, integrity, the choices they make and the consequences that follow.
The Choices Foundation believes that if you make an impression about ethics on young people before they enter into the business community or become established in adulthood by helping them see the relationship between choice and consequences, they may become more personally and professionally productive and ethical adults. After all, personal integrity and ethics are the backbone of adult society.
Second, the Choices Foundation provides educational scholarships to children who come from a disadvantaged background and/or whose parent(s) are incarcerated. Education can help break the cycles of poverty and poor choice, yet those who need an education the most are those who can least afford to receive the benefit. Hence, the Choices Foundation is established to help fund that need and uplift our underprivileged youth.
Having captured the attention of audiences from coast to coast, Chuck is an inspirational motivational speaker with a dynamic ethics message. As a business ethics speaker and sales motivational speaker, Chuck’s business and personal experiences over 30 years provides a powerful framework for presentations, workshops and consulting. Understanding the business and ethical challenges facing organizations today, whether corporate, government or association, Chuck, as a motivational keynote speaker, delivers a message that focuses on the pressing issues tailored to the client’s need.
A portion of the proceeds that Chuck earns from speaking to business audiences, associations and/or governmental agencies goes to the Choices Foundation to promote the furtherance of it’s cause.

Hello Chuck, I am interested in knowing if you could possibly come to speak at our high school in February or March of 2009. We are in an affluent suburb of Chicago. Our students rank among the top nationwide. Last year six of our students from our two school district scored a perfect score of 36 on their ACT’s. I could go on and on with the honors our student receive annually . I’m sure you are aware of the pressure these adolescents are under to succeed in every aspect of their lives.
As a member of the Diversity Committee of our high school I have taken it upon myself to explore the possibilities for a meaningful week long symposium on the topic of integrity. In my opinion this topic for discussion is long overdue. The discussions would be between the students themselves moderated by a peer leader, students and teachers, perhaps high school students and college students and even hopefully students and parents and students and professionals. We would need a powerful keynote speaker to act as the catalyst for this week long event. I am hoping you would be willing to be that person. All I would need is a video of your speech preferably addressing a high school audience (among the toughest of audiences), which I would in turn submit to the Diversity Committee of our school for approval.
Sincerely,
Beth Herrera
Glenbrook North High School
