The
Hoop to Help Team
Our Vision
Our vision is to provide our local communities with an event that promotes teamwork, security, and charity.
It is our firm belief that every child should be granted equal opportunity in their early-education. We have expanded on this idea to present a fun and safe environment for our youth to participate in a team based tournament, while also being able to give back to the neighborhoods they live in. We work tirelessly to ensure local elementary school children are supplied with high-quality backpacks and necessary supplies during the school year, and envision a future where every child is supported throughout their academic careers.
