Ball 4 a Cure is a nonprofit organization started in West Hartford in 2015 by seven West Hartford residents and former students of West Hartford Public Schools.

Over the last 10 years, Ball 4 a Cure has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and helped hundreds of financially vulnerable families afford rent, mortgages, in-home medical equipment, fertility costs, and basic necessities. Ball 4 a Cure has also established programs in partnership with Connecticut Children’s that allows kids impacted by cancer to just be kids.

Ball 4 a Cure co-founders Cole Stabnick and Luke Reynolds will receive the honor on behalf of Ball 4 a Cure.
