The Red Auerbach Youth Foundation
Accomplishment and success take on many forms. While Red Auerbach’s achievements with the Boston Celtics and as a Boston Celtic are legendary, he considers the formation of the Red Auerbach Youth Foundation to be his most significant contribution to the sports world. “ It makes me very proud that over the past 13 years we have provided opportunities for tens of thousands of local kids to enjoy the benefit of participation in sports. Not just basketball either, but a wide variety of sports including track & field, lacrosse, tennis, volleyball and double dutch jump rope” says Auerbach. A firm believer in physical fitness and the regimen of athletics as molding tools, the creation of the Foundation caps Red’s lifelong ambition to be a positive influence on the development of our youth. He recognizes the positive impact and invaluable life lessons that athletics and the team concept can offer to all children.
The Red Auerbach Youth Foundation’s Mission is to enrich the lives of boys and girls throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by promoting special athletic, recreational, and youth development opportunities. The Foundation focuses on getting children who would not otherwise participate involved in sports. Those participants are children of all racial, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds who come together for a common goal.
Several 2000-2001 RAYF sponsored events and programs include:
- The Double Dutch Jump Rope Program
- Annual Summer Camp Program
- Annual Volleyball Clinic for Girls at Harvard University
- Sponsorship of a series of high school track meets.
- Sponsorship of Instructional Baseball Camp (Kid Gloves)
- Summer Basketball League (Hang Time)
- John Hancock Parquet Challenge
Auerbach is the second-winningest coach in NBA history with a 938-479 (.662) record and has been recognized by having the Coach of the Year trophy named in his honor. In one of the most remarkable achievements in sports history, Auerbach guided the Celtics to nine NBA championships, including eight consecutive, from 1958-59 through 1965-66.
He was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1968, and was selected to the NBA’s 35th Anniversary team in 1981 as the “Greates Coach in the History of the NBA” by PBWA. Auerbach removed himself from the bench for the 1966-67 season to concentrate on his duties as general manager.
