In the summer of 2009, Chris gained a great many fans thanks to his role as Capt. James T. Kirk in one of the most beloved franchises in the world: Star Trek. A small group of fans, old and new, took to Chris-Pine.org to discuss this talented and charismatic actor. Before long, the group had dubbed itself “The Pine-Nuts.”

That same summer, Chris appeared in a production of Farragut North at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles. Closing night, a group of Pine-Nuts attended the show to support Chris’s professional efforts and presented him with a book of letters from Pine-Nuts all over the world. These letters were an introduction of sorts for future charitable projects that The Pine-Nuts would involve themselves in.

Since the summer of 2009, The Pine-Nuts have been a quiet force in support of Chris’s career, attending his various plays and professional appearances. In addition, various charitable projects have been completed in The Pine-Nut name on behalf of Chris. These charities include Project(RED), Gulf Aid, Help for Haiti Now, Toys for Tots, Canuck Place Children’s Hospice, The Orangewood Children’s Foundation, various adopt-a-family charities, and numerous others.

Current Project: The Birthday 2013 Edition

UPDATED: June 10th, 2013; It’s that time again! The Pine-Nuts have decided on another Project Pine-Nut! This time around we’ll be raising funds to donate to The American Red Cross to help aid in the efforts to recover from catastrophes such as the Boston Marathon bombing, the plant explosion in Texas, and the tornado that tore through Oklahoma City.

The donation amount and information on the participating parties will be sent to Chris to coincide with his 33rd birthday on August 26th, 2013. More details on the presentation of this information will be discussed further along in the project.

If you’d like to participate, please send your contribution via Paypal to Holly (holly@chris-pine.org) along with your full name and location.
Deadline is August 15th!

This page will be updated with the most recent Pine-Nut project once it’s decided, so if you would like to participate be sure to check back often to see what the Pine-Nuts are up to next.
