The Connecticut Sun Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of Connecticut’s youth by supporting athletic and educational endeavors. Our interests include providing educational scholarships to high school seniors, and grants to be used for the refurbishment of basketball courts and equipment.
The Connecticut Sun Foundation, established in 2007, is just the second such charity of its kind in the WNBA. Through private donations, fund-raising events and contributions from the Connecticut Sun and its owners, the Connecticut Sun Foundation looks forward to impacting the lives of youth in Connecticut.
Each season, our commitment is to provide a $10,000 Bright Horizons Scholarship to any deserving Connecticut high school senior who will attend an accredited four-year college or university in the state of Connecticut. In the future, the Connecticut Sun Foundation will distribute charitable grants to non-profit organizations for the refurbishment of basketball courts and equipment.
The Connecticut Sun takes pride in giving back to the community where our fans live, work and play. We are committed to using our resources to leave a lasting legacy in Connecticut, supporting fitness and education programs that will help create the foundation for healthy and rewarding lives.
Help make a difference in the lives of Connecticut youth by supporting the Connecticut Sun Foundation fund-raising activities and events.
