BOWL 4 A CURE - 2021
In our Inaugural Bowl 4 a Cure, over 200 Bowlers crowded the lanes at Bowl-O-Rama to compete against each other for top prizes and raise awareness for the families struggling financially while battling cancer. When bowlers left the lanes they were welcomed at Wurst Haus in West Hartford for live music, appetizers, and drinks. In total, the tournament and post-event raised nearly $6,000!

GOLF 4 A CURE - 2020
In light of Covid-19, we postponed our 6th Annual Ball 4 a Cure until we can safely and responsibly host the tournament. Instead, we hosted the First Inaugural Golf 4 a Cure tournament at Simsbury Farms. The tournament was a great success, raising over $19,000, and allowing us to establish the Ball 4 a Cure Fund at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center. We look forward to expanding our impact to other communities across the country, from schools to cities alike. Check out a photo recap of the event here. |

FIFTH ANNUAL - 2019
Our 5th Annual hosted over 150 basketball players from all over New England. In our most successful year to date, we raised over $23,000 to support patients and families of pediatric cancer. This year’s Silent Auction Raffle drew prizes from dozens of local businesses and even a few NBA, NFL and MLB players. Building on the 5th Annual’s success, we hope to expand to colleges and universities in the near future. Check out a photo recap of the event here. |

FOURTH ANNUAL - 2018
With another year under our belt came more success, raising $6,669. We started fundraising efforts earlier, securing 11 sponsors for the tournament. Both the Juniors and Adult tournament expanded, drawing a mix of 150 intramural scrubs, College athletes, and High School hoopers alike. We are very proud that after our fourth annual tournament we became an official Non-Profit organization and were approved by the IRS for 501(c)3 status. As we look towards the future, we are excited about the potential of expanding and integrating internal patient programs. Check out a photo recap of the event here. |

THIRD ANNUAL - 2017
The Third Annual Ball 4 a Cure tournament was another success. Once again we were able to raise our registration numbers, reaching upwards of 130 people. The move to an indoor location proved to be a success as we were able to accompany more teams with the extra courts. In year three, we raised over $3000, implementing silent auctions and side games for spectators and competitors alike. Check out a photo recap of the event here. |

SECOND ANNUAL - 2016
In our Second Annual Ball 4 a Cure Tournament, we added a Juniors Tournament. With 120 plus competitors, we raised over $2000 for the Oncology Clinic at Connecticut Children's Medical Center. Team Guadalupe brought home the gold along with a grand prize of $150. In our younger division, the winners went home with 4 UConn football tickets! It was a great day for the tournament as the weather held off and everyone had a great time. Check out a photo recap of the event here. |

FIRST ANNUAL - 2015
In 2015 we had an idea; an idea that came to fruition that summer. Our first annual Ball 4 A Cure tournament was more successful than we could have imagined. When it was all said and done, we had over 30 teams and raised over $1,500. The logo has come a long way from the first Fresh Prince of Bel-Air inspired design, we created on Microsoft Paint.
