MISSION
STATEMENT

The Love, Patti Foundation honors the life and legacy of Patti Ricco (nee Aurrichio), 1984-2023, a woman whose kindness, generosity, and joyful spirit touched everyone she met. Rooted in her love for family, friends, fitness, and fun, our foundation brings people together through community‑centered “Fun‑(d)raising” events that reflect the way she lived: with purpose, laughter, and an open heart.
Our mission is to carry Patti’s light forward by supporting the causes that mattered most to her. Through our annual Fun Day and Tournament, community events, scholarships, and charitable giving, we raise funds that directly benefit local organizations, families, and individuals in need. Every contribution — whether through volunteering, sponsoring, donating, or simply showing up — helps us continue Patti’s legacy of compassion and service.
We are deeply grateful for the friends, families, sponsors, and community members who join us year after year. Your support ensures that Patti’s spirit continues to inspire connection, generosity, and joy in our community.
Together, we celebrate her life.
Together, we Love Patti.
Love, Patti friends and sponsors have allowed us to make two generous scholarships in Patti’s name as well as make a generous contribution to Ann’s Place in Danbury.
