Sports teach kids life skills like teamwork, leadership, and discipline โ€” all while having fun. The Pat Connaughton Foundation is dedicated to making sports accessible to student-athletes worldwide.

  • COURTS

    When it comes to basketball, a space to play is a must! The Pat Connaughton Foundation is committed to installing Connaughton Courts in schools and communities in need. We believe a basketball court is a home away from home. A place where student athletes can grow their game and their lives.

    To date, weโ€™ve completed 13 Courts to 12 Schools/Organizations, and have 11.5 more currently underway.

  • CLINICS

    Our clinics inspire the next generation of student athletes to maximize the 24 hours we all have in a given day. From healthy habits to shooting drills, kids learn skills that will serve them on and off the court.

    LEARN MORE

  • CHARACTER

    Hard work, teamwork, leadership, accountability, and discipline.

    We are proud to grant scholarships to exceptional student athletes who embody these principles.

โ€œSports have taught me lifeโ€™s most valuable lessons, and I want to give back by inspiring the next generation. My goal is to show kids their potential and encourage them to dream big โ€” whether as athletes, scientists, teachers, or anything else. The lessons learned on the court translate into lifelong success, and Iโ€™m honored to use my platform to shape future leaders."

โ€”Pat Connaughton, Founder
