Overview

Mission

Our mission is to cultivate deeper relationships with Connecticut youth organizations and the University of Connecticut. Utilizing the vast network of university alumni to source donations, our goal is to provide under-privileged members of the community with tickets to enjoy the UConn game day experience. We believe this will foster an opportunity for kids to strengthen relationships and promote teamwork, all while encouraging the next generation of UConn Husky fans.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2023, our organization purchased 3,168 tickets to a variety of UConn sports including football, men's and women's basketball, soccer, baseball, etc and provided them to underpriviliged organizations including Big Brothers, Big Sisters, YMCAs, boys and girls clubs, CT Youth Resources, Manchester Public Schools, Windham Public Schools, Waterbury PAL, New Britain PAL and many other organizations around Connecticut. There were many kids across the state who were able to attend a sporting event who otherwise would not have the means to get to a game.
