Thank you for joining us at Connecticut’s
Inaugural Inspire Invitational golf tournament!
100% of the tournament’s proceeds will be used to establish the statewide Inspire Scholarship Fund, dedicated to children and youth throughout Connecticut.
Whether it be in the fields of sports, arts, music, the sciences or technology, our goal is to provide young people with the tools, instruction, and resources they need to discover their passions and pursue their dreams.
2024 Inspire Inaugural Legacy Award
The Honorable Matt Ritter, Speaker of the Connecticut House of Representatives, received the first Inspire Legacy Award in recognition of his lifelong commitment to helping Connecticut’s children and families.
No contribution is too small to make a difference in a child’s life.
100% of the proceeds from the Inaugural Invitational Tournament will go to support the Inspire Scholarship Fund. The Justice Education Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation and all contributions and donations on behalf of the Inspire Scholarship Fund are tax-exempt.
