In the spirit of Todd's generosity and love of life, Todd's Fund acts as an angel fund, providing financial assistance to families with children from newborns to 18 years of age. The primary aim of the fund is to improve the quality of life for children whose lives have been impacted by tragedy such as the death of a parent, fire, grave illness or an accident of catastrophic nature.

Christopher Todd Pitman was born on August 24, 1971 in Skaneateles, NY. As a child, Todd’s warmth and radiance was coupled with a desire to succeed in every aspect of life. He was an ambitious hockey player, a gifted student, a steadfast friend and a loving brother and son. Todd’s ambition continued past his childhood in Skaneateles and into the corridors of Duke University where he built lasting friendships. After graduating from Duke, Todd spent seven years in Japan before returning to New York City as a trader with Cantor Fitzgerald.

On September 11, 2001, at the age of 30, Todd was at his desk in the World Trade Center and was unable to make it out of the building. In 2002, family and friends joined together to create an everlasting memory of Todd’s generosity and love of life.
