UConn's Bueckers To Be Featured At Travelers Event

HARTFORD, CT — University of Connecticut basketball star Paige Bueckers will be part of the 2022 Travelers Championship.

The Travelers Championship Tuesday announced details for this year’s Women's Day, which is slated for June 23. The day includes a networking breakfast that will be hosted on the Travelers campus in Hartford. It will feature "Inside Edition" host Deborah Norville and Bueckers, who will be interviewed by well-known CBS Sports broadcaster Amanda Renner.

Proceeds from the event will benefit tournament charities, including The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, which serves children with serious illnesses.

"The Women’s Day breakfast is one of our most anticipated events of tournament week," Travelers Championship Tournament Director Nathan Grube said. "We’re honored to be joined by Deborah Norville, who will share her vast experiences from the decades she’s spent on television. We’re also thrilled to have Paige Bueckers talk about her journey as a college basketball star in a can’t-miss interview with one of the best broadcasters from CBS, Amanda Renner."

Women who attend the breakfast will receive a complimentary ticket to Thursday’s competition round at the Travelers Championship. All women attending the tournament on Women’s Day will receive a 10 percent discount on purchases in the official merchandise shop.

Travelers is once again the presenting sponsor of the Women’s Day Breakfast. ConnectiCare will serve as the supporting sponsor, and Hartford HealthCare and Red Thread/Steelcase will return as event partners.
