| In 2015, nine friends from elementary school founded Ball 4 a Cure Inc., an annual 3 v 3 charity basketball tournament in West Hartford, Connecticut. Starting at the black top playground of a local school, Ball 4 a Cure has grown to 3+ tournaments a year, spanning from golf and basketball to bowling and concerts. All of the proceeds from Ball 4 a Cure tournaments and events are donated to the Ball 4 a Cure Fund at Connecticut Children's Hospital, with 97% of funds supporting families with housing needs. The Ball 4 a Cure Fund assures that children in treatment always have a safe, warm, and secure home to return to when they leave the Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders. The remaining 3% of funds assist families in obtaining medical equipment to help manage patient pain and rehabilitation. |
