The Foundation

The Allyson Rioux Memorial Foundation has been established as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization to provide outreach support to the Stamford Community, particularly those families experiencing financial hardship because of a serious illness. The Foundation also recognizes each year outstanding female athletes in Stamford through the awarding of the Allyson Rioux Memorial Award, which promotes the character, spirit and ideals of Allyson, one of Stamford’s most recognized hometown heroes.


Through fundraising activities, particularly the annual Allyson Rioux Memorial Golf Tournament and Celebration Dinner, the Rioux Foundation strives to expand our current level of financial support while searching for new and alternative ways to honor the talented and giving life of Allyson Rioux.

Where does our money go?
90% of our net contributions go towards families in need.
7% goes toward our Scholarship winner
2% goes toward our Stamford-based leagues
1% goes toward our operating expenses.
