George and Gina Nairn founded Allison Foundation in 2006. A close family friend had a child named Allison who struggled with Autism, and they were inspired to do something to somehow help with her many therapy needs, many of which were not covered by insurance. George decided to combine his desire to help with his love for golf… and the first annual Allison Foundation Golf Tournament was born. Since then, many other Allison Foundation events have raised funds for respite care, therapy, and scholarships and grants to Melwood’s Camp Accomplish.

Allison Foundation is incorporated in the state of Maryland as a nonprofit organization. George continues to be overwhelmed by the response received in support of the Allison Foundation. The generosity of family, friends, and the community has poured in. Since 2009, the Allison Foundation has worked with Camp Accomplish to set up a permanent scholarship fund, administered by the camp, for autistic camp participants from Charles County. We continue to fund care needs for Allison and other children with Autism.

In 2009, the Nairn family lost a very dear friend when Allison’s mother, Holli, passed away due to a sudden illness. We resolved to continue Allison Foundation in her memory and pledged to continue the mission with as much passion as she had for helping her daughter and other children with Autism.

George Nairn is the president of Nairn Technologies, Inc., a software development company. Gina Nairn is an IT Consultant. They reside in Port Tobacco, Maryland with their two children.
