Dan and Theresa Lee Honored By Connecticut Sportswriters Alliance

The Ryan T. Lee Memorial Foundation was founded in 2011 as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to remembering the life and legacy of a special young man. Inspired by the selfless support of friends and family, the foundation was created as a way to transform a tragic loss into positive change. It is our hope that the charitable efforts of this organization will impact the lives of others in a manner that would make Ryan proud.

The Ryan T. Lee Memorial Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring the enduring spirit of a special young man by actively seeking out opportunities to make a difference in the lives of others.
