Invariant is providing DC support for the Colton Underwood Legacy Foundation, an organization launched by the veteran of ABC TV’s Bachelor franchise to help people living with cystic fibrosis.
The 30-year-old Underwood was a contestant on “The Bachelorette” (2018) and “Bachelor in Paradise” (2018) and lead on “The Bachelor” (2019). He made news by being the first lead in the Bachelor franchise to come out as gay.
Prior to the reality show, he was a member of the practice squads of the National Football League’s San Diego Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles and Oakland Raiders.
