Our next 🆕 announcement is in Milwaukee, WI, a future universally accessible and inclusive playground designed to bring kids and families of all abilities together. 🏀

We’re proud to make a $50,000 donation in support of this inspiring project at Reservoir Park, helping bring adaptive sport courts, mobility-device friendly pathways, multi-sensory play elements, gathering spaces, and a dragon-themed play structure to life.

Inspired by Stella, a courageous nine-year-old who loves dragons, art, swimming, biking, and playing with friends, this playground is being built to reflect courage, imagination, inclusion, and community. Once complete, Stella’s Playground is projected to serve more than 10,000 youth and families annually.

Pat Connaughton has always been known as more than just a player.

Recently, former teammates and coaches from Notre Dame recognized exactly that, naming Pat among the best teammates in Irish basketball over the last 30 years.

Leadership. Energy. Selflessness. Toughness. The kind of qualities that leave a lasting impact.

At the Pat Connaughton Foundation, that same spirit continues through our work to build character, create opportunity, and invest in the next generation.

Congrats, Pat. Well deserved. ☘️🏀

What a beautiful reminder of what this work is all about. 🌍

This in Rukara, Rwanda continues to be a place for joy, connection, growth, and community. Seeing the smiles, laughter, and life on this court means everything.

We were also honored to attend the Shooting Touch Gala in Boston on Monday, celebrating a partnership and mission that is creating real impact far beyond the lines of the game.

Basketball can do so much more than just bring people together. It can help change lives.

Milestone: 2️⃣0️⃣th program we have worked with/donated a Court to (for a total of 3️⃣1️⃣ Courts)!

Yesterday, we were proud to celebrate the ribbon cutting of the newest at Milwaukee Lutheran High School. This Court represents a meaningful refresh of a gymnasium that has served students and the community since 1998, bringing new life to a space that continues to play an important role on campus and beyond.

With a $30,000 investment from the Pat Connaughton Foundation, this refurbished Court will directly impact an estimated ~2,000 youth annually. Beyond daily student use, the facility serves as a hub for tournaments and events including NY2LA basketball, volleyball, jiu jitsu, karate, and more, creating opportunities for athletes across the broader Milwaukee community to compete, connect, and grow.

This Court is more than a playing surface. It is a platform for possibility. The upgrades will help Milwaukee Lutheran expand programming and introduce new sports teams that previously did not exist, increasing access to athletics and aligning directly with our mission to create opportunities for youth through sport.

Thank you to Milwaukee Lutheran High School and all who continuously support our mission at the Pat Connaughton Foundation. Your partnership allows us to invest forward in kids, community, and opportunity. 🙏💙

Stay tuned for more announcements coming soon. 👀
