Chill Cares is a non profit organization created in honor of our loved ones and their courageous battles with cancer. Our mission is to assist members of our community who are battling cancer and those who support them and to raise awareness on the importance of early detection to help save lives.
We are A Proud Participant in the National Alliance of State Prostate Cancer Coalitions.
Knowledge is power.
About Us
The heart of chill Cares was beating long before it became a nonprofit organization in the spring of 2015. After making a difference in their community for years, a group of passionate New Hampshire natives joined forces to create chill Cares. Coming together as one, they knew they would be able to help more people fight cancer and raise more awareness. These like-minded people have used their passion, work ethic and “just do it” mentality to build the perfect foundation to make things happen in New Hampshire.
The goal of chill Cares is to host fun, community events to make an impact and raise awareness and funds to support those in our community who are battling cancer and those who support them.
If you or someone you know has a passion for helping those in need and would like to volunteer or donate, please contact us at info@chillcares.org.

Meet Our Team

Crissy Kantor
FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR, “NEWEST” NASPCC BOARD MEMBER
Crissy’s passion for raising awareness for Prostate Cancer began over 15 years ago when her father, Jeff was diagnosed. In 2015, Jeff lost his courageous battle with prostate cancer, but not without a fight! Crissy’s goal is to carry on his legacy of generosity, eagerness to help others and raise awareness for the blue ribbon with the same passion as her father! Since the birth of her Award Winning spa in Manchester, chill Spa in 2006, a huge part of the business has been focused on giving back to the community via fundraising, sponsorships, community events and donations of “chill Time” whenever possible. With the creation of the non- profit chill Cares, she hopes to gain the same awareness for the prostate cancer blue ribbon as women have done for the pink breast cancer ribbon. She wants her Dad’s inspirational story of positivity, kindness, generosity, endless energy, constant optimism, sense of humor and never giving up attitude to give hope to others with their battle with cancer.
When she’s not organizing fundraising events you can find Crissy working in the spa with her amazing team, skiing, traveling and spending time with her loved ones.

She and her husband operate and own Millys Tavern which supports the Manchester community through holding fundraisers and benefit events as well as sponsoring events.

Mike Auger
DIRECTOR
The 2023 GiddyUp Event is a tribute to Michael Auger, our founding member.
Mike is an energetic guy who's always ready to enthusiastically contribute to "the cause". His ever ready smile, a constant, is a sure sign of his genuinely friendly and helpful demeanor. As owner/broker of Auger Realty (recently merged with Berkshire Hathaway - Verani Realty), since 1985 Mike has managed his group of carefully selected agents/brokers as they've successfully guided literally thousands of clients happily through the home buying and selling process. He's also famous for his 54' electronic scrolling Marquee located prominently atop his office building located at 475 Second Street in Manchester which is exactly at the west end of the Queen City Bridge. He's been consistently supporting organizations such as The Red Cross, The Palace Theatre, The Manchester Monarchs, The Fisher Cats, The Glendi, Snow Board & Tube, The Pink & Blue Bash, and countless other community causes for decades by trumpeting their messages on his Marquee. When he's not hard at work serving a client, supporting his team members, or contributing to a cause, you'll find him spending time with his kids & wife at the beach, on a hike, or ocean sailing. Mike lost his dad to pancreatic cancer and intimately knows the importance of winning when seeking the cure and supporting those in the process.
