The Founders Campaign will help us raise funds to build a solid foundation for long-term growth, including hiring key staff, setting up ongoing operations in a new facility, and building relationships that will best serve the needs of the Bridgeport community.

“We are building a foundation for SquashBridge to be the home of future champions in squash and life,” says Simba Muhwati.

Launching in Fall 2025

In less than a year, we are launching SquashBridge, a new Squash and Education Alliance (SEA) member program in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Over the past 30 years, SEA programs have proven effective in helping students learn, build character, complete college, and find their career path. Donors, educators, parents, local leaders, and neighbors have helped SEA programs in 31 cities grow into a powerful global network that is changing lives and transforming urban communities.

Proven, Intensive, Long Term Programming

SquashBridge will start by providing intensive squash and academic programming for 75 Bridgeport elementary school students. These students will benefit from year-round customized squash training and academic programs. Our mission is for SquashBridge to be the home of future champions in Bridgeport on and off the squash courts.

Our goal is to raise $400,000 before March 1, 2025. To jumpstart our Founders Campaign, a generous board member has offered to match funds donated up to $75,000.
