In the years following her death, her family and community created Team Addy as a charitable initiative to continue her legacy through fundraising for pediatric cancer research. The organization describes its mission as mobilizing awareness, community engagement, and financial support for sarcoma research.
Global News reported that, as of 2025, the Team Addy tournament and related events have “raised over $500,000” for cancer research.[4]
Local media coverage also notes that by 2025 the tournament in Fergus had grown significantly, attracting dozens or hundreds of participating teams from across Ontario.[5]
