Uncasville, CT (March 16, 2022) – Today, the Connecticut Sun announced its “Play Big. Shop Small.” initiative, a campaign to promote local small businesses in the state of Connecticut. The Sun created the initiative with the desire to support and collaborate with the people and businesses that make Connecticut special.

The goal of “Play Big. Shop Small.” is two-fold. The Connecticut Sun would like to partner with as many local businesses as possible, with the intent of highlighting the diverse range of high quality products and services that the Connecticut community has to offer, while providing access to the fun and excitement of live WNBA games and growing the Connecticut Sun fan base.

“Play Big. Shop Small.” participants will receive ticket vouchers to use during the 2022 season for themselves, their families and their staff; their company logo on the Connecticut Sun website; their business mentioned in a game; and a dedicated ticket link with discounts to games to share with their network. Parties interested in the free program can go to this link or scan the QR code and follow the listed steps to submit their information.

“Small businesses are the heartbeat of our communities, and I am proud to have the Connecticut Sun invest in our local businesses in this way. Our fans have given us so much throughout our 19 years here in Connecticut, and any chance we have to give back and increase our footprint in the community and state, we try our best to make that happen. I am hoping that ‘Play Big. Shop Small.” has a lasting, positive impact and brings us closer to the people who make Connecticut so special.” – Jen Rizzotti, Connecticut Sun President

The Connecticut Sun will celebrate its 20th Anniversary as a franchise this year. For additional information or to purchase tickets, visit www.connecticutsun.com.
