The Red Auerbach Youth Foundation (RAYF) was founded in 1985 to honor Arnold “Red” Auerbach, one of Boston’s and the country’s great sports legends. Red Auerbach was a firm believer in the value of sports and athletics as building blocks for the healthy physical and emotional development of children. The mission of the Red Auerbach Youth Foundation is to enrich the lives of children throughout Massachusetts by providing sports and recreational opportunities. Central to that mission are two goals: first, the Foundation focuses on getting children, who would not otherwise participate, involved in sports; and second, the Foundation strives to bring children of all racial and ethnic backgrounds together through sports.  Thank you for your continued support.
