UNCASVILLE—Today, the Connecticut Sun announced its involvement in BG's Heart and Sole Shoe Drive.
To support Brittney Griner as she endures detainment in Russia and to continue her legacy of care for her community, teams across the WNBA have been carrying on BG's Heart and Sole Shoe Drive. The Connecticut Sun have decided to take the drive a tad further, also encouraging and accepting donations of other necessities for unhoused people. In addition to the shoe and toiletry drive, the Connecticut Sun is hosting a 50/50 raffle. All donations will benefit the New London Homeless Hospitality Center.
Fans who would like to participate can donate new or gently worn shoes and toiletry products at the following Connecticut Sun home games: Thursday, July 28 vs. Seattle Storm; Sunday, July 31 vs. Chicago Sky; Tuesday, August 2 vs. Phoenix Mercury; and Thursday, August 4 vs. Phoenix Mercury. Collection bins will be at both entrances on the Mohegan Sun Arena concourse.
“"For years, BG has led with her heart through ‘BG's Heart and Sole Shoe Drive,’ and we are proud to be able to continue her work of helping others in their time of need,” said Connecticut Sun President Jen Rizzotti. “We hope that BG feels our love and support during this difficult time, and we hope that she comes home soon.”
The Connecticut Sun is celebrating its 20th Anniversary as a franchise this year. For additional information or to purchase tickets, visit https://sun.wnba.com/.
