Connecticut Sport Foundation Charity Profile

Founded in 1987, the Connecticut Sports Foundation (“CSF”) is a non-profit organization with a 501 (c)(3) designation.

Our Mission

To financially assist Connecticut cancer patients and their families and to fund cancer research.

Many cancer patients and families are suddenly confronted with insurmountable bills at a time when focusing on healing is critical to their recovery. CSF is able to quickly and compassionately ease their burden with direct financial assistance. CSF has found that even small gestures of support can be the jumpstart a patient needs to fight back against their illness.

CSF is a unique organization in Connecticut that provides funds to Connecticut cancer patients for rent/mortgage, utilities, transportation, medications and more. Patients are referred to CSF via a network of oncology social workers at Connecticut hospitals and cancer centers. Resources are provided with dignity and privacy, helping patients maintain self-respect while lessening the stress that may inhibit their recovery.

Connecticut Sport Foundation Volunteer Information

When you make a donation to the Connecticut Sports Foundation you will be helping cancer patients in the state of Connecticut with their daily living expenses such as rent/mortgage payments, utilities, medical co-pays, food, medications, fuel and transportation. Daily, CSF receives requests for assistance from families who cannot meet their mortgage payments, fear their electricity and heat being turned off, or may need food for their families. Your donation will help us help these families with their battle against cancer.

Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the United States, exceeded only by heart disease. In the United States, cancer accounts for one of every four deaths.
