With the unprecedented challenges our state and its residents currently face, the Connecticut COVID-19 Charity Connection (4-CT) was launched as a non-profit that unites donors with state-wide programs that will help make an immediate impact. Other event sponsors are SphereGen, 99.1PLR, Star 99.9, WEBE 108, WICC 600, 95.9 The FOX and 94.3 WYBC.Ībout Connecticut COVID-19 Charity Connection: Race 4-CT is presented by Town Fair Tire.
