Trantolo & Trantolo is very passionate about community involvement. Our founder, Joseph Trantolo, began the tradition of helping others when he opened our law firm 80 years ago. He passed on this value to his son, Attorney Vincent Trantolo. Today, his sons Attorney Keith Trantolo and our Chief Operating Officer, Scott Trantolo, inspire our staff to help better the communities we serve. On September 20th, we were proud to be present at the grand opening of Kevin’s Kourt at Channel 3 Kids Camp!

About Kevin’s Kourt

Former UCONN Men’s Basketball Coach, Kevin Ollie, has always been inspired by athletes with disabilities. He opened his fifth Kevin’s Kourt – his first inclusive basketball court paired with a camp – at Channel 3 Kids Camp in Andover. Channel 3 Kid’s Camp is designed for children with and without special needs. Kevin’s Kourt is a project of the Kevin Ollie Charity Classic and 21st Century Tolland Fund, which helps support programs throughout Connecticut serving more than 22,000 people with disabilities.

Trantolo & Trantolo is a proud sponsor of Kevin’s Kourt and was present at the special ceremonial Net Raising. Teaming up with Coach Ollie in the “Net” ceremony were campers from Channel 3 Kids Camp and Ryan Martin Foundation & Hospital for Special Care Junior Wheelchair Basketball program, Channel 3 Kids Camp officials, including Jillian Wood, Channel 3 Kids Camp Board President and our Director of Communications, Chick Pritchard.

Kevin’s Kourt at Channel 3 Kids Camp features 10 stations created by Bankshot™, which has pioneered inclusive basketball play structures. These courts are now located in Hartford, West Hartford, South Windsor, Waterbury and Channel 3 Kids Camp.

Kevin’s Kourt is more than building a court. It’s about creating inclusive support programs because every child deserves a shot.
