The Pat Connaughton Foundation aims to inspire and empower the next generation of student athletes through our three pillars - Courts, Clinics, Character. We are 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, we’ve completed/donated 24 Courts to 14 Schools/Organizations, and have 14 more Courts 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.

  • CHARACTER

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

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

“Sports have taught me life’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 — whether as athletes, scientists, teachers, or anything else. The lessons learned on the court translate into lifelong success, and I’m honored to use my platform to shape future leaders."
