What happened: Connecticut partnered with BuildSubmarines on Free Throws for Change for home games. Each Sun make at home triggered a $20 donation to United Way of SE CT and the US Naval Sea Cadets Nautilus Division. The season total reached $10,000.
Why it matters: The funds support youth and community programs in southeastern Connecticut. The structure tied on-court production to a fixed offseason donation.
By the numbers: $10,000 raised at $20 per home make, equal to 500 free throws.
What to watch: The designated organizations receive the funds following the home schedule.
