20 Years of Giving
Over two decades, we’ve awarded $76,189.46 to more than 30 organizations, close to home and around the world. Here in Connecticut, that’s meant jackets for Bridgeport girls’ teams, clinics in Hartford, scholarships, and support for the CT Food Bank. Abroad, grants have bought soccer balls and uniforms, built fields, and backed youth programs from Kenya and Ghana to Haiti and Nicaragua.
Here’s the full breakdown, year by year.
