Inaugural Pickleball Event Benefits Meghan Cavanaugh Raveis Charitable Fund

BRANFORD, CT —The Branford Office of William Raveis Real Estate is sponsoring its first annual pickleball event at Foote Park on Sunday, October 1, 2023. Proceeds will go to the William Raveis Charitable Fund in memory of Meghan Cavanaugh Raveis.

Meghan was the wife of Ryan Raveis, Co-President, and daughter-in-law of William Raveis. She was the Managing Director of the William Raveis Charitable Fund, which has partnered with the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, two of the most prestigious and innovative institutions in the country that award fellowships directly to scientists.

The support of these scientists has enabled transformational cancer research for
prevention, diagnosis, care, and treatment which has earned countless awards and the Nobel Prize.

For her passion, drive and tireless fundraising efforts on behalf of the company, Meghan was recognized as the William Raveis Entrepreneur of the Year and was named to the Damon Runyon Board of Directors in 2015.

The company was shattered with grief when Meghan was tragically struck by a car and killed while
out for an afternoon walk in Fairfield this past June. She left behind three young children, her partner, and loving husband, cherished family and friends, and her work and home communities.

Please help to continue Meghan’s fundraising legacy for fun and sport, which she would have supported and loved.

There will be food trucks and prizes, and players of all levels are needed.
