Why Sports
Sports have long been a vital part of LivFree's mission. For years, LivFree has provided opportunities for children and their families to attend professional sporting events, offering them a chance to step away from the challenges of their cancer journey and focus on family and fun.
Building on this tradition, LivFree began engaging with the Connecticut youth sports community to raise funds for these joyful experiences. Through events like the LivFree Baseball Jamboree, the transformative power of youth sports beyond just fundraising was discovered. These events fostered a sense of camaraderie and community that transcended the usual competitive nature of youth sports, creating a unique atmosphere of unity and support.
Inspired by this impact, LivFree has launched LivSports: a platform that harnesses the widespread appeal and accessibility of youth sports to spread hope, build awareness, and rally support for the pediatric cancer community. By integrating our cause with something so deeply ingrained in our communities, we aim to create lasting change and hope for those who need it most.
