LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) -- The death of beloved Acadiana musician Chris Stafford shook the Acadiana music community, but something of a silver lining has emerged from the tragedy.
Aug. 20, Stafford's birthday, will now also mark the birth of the Christopher Stafford Memorial Foundation Fund, a fund and initiative dedicated to sustaining the meaning and impact of his life, tragically cut short earlier this year.
Money raised in the days after his death have seeded the fund at the Community Foundation of Acadiana.
