Pat Connaughton's "With Us" Foundation

Former ND standout and current two sport pro, Pat Connaughton still finds time to give back.

If you've followed Notre Dame athletics whatsoever in recent years, then you know Pat Connaughton. A two sport athlete (basketball and baseball) while in South Bend, he became a true ambassador for the athletic department. On the court, Pat helped lead Notre Dame men's basketball to an ACC tournament title and an Elite Eight birth. On the mound, he dominated opposing batters with a mid 90s fastball and a competitive spirit that has propelled him to both the NBA and MLB minor leagues. A shooting guard for the Portland Trailblazers, and a starting pitcher in the Baltimore Orioles organization, Connaughton has a busier schedule than most 23 year-olds. But this hasn't stopped him from giving back to the community that helped get him to where he is today.
