What exactly is Hoops of Hope?

0

Hoops of Hope is an annual basketball shoot-a-thon, now with 3 national event dates. Its goal is to raise awareness and funds for children who have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS. Money raised through our free throw marathons goes directly to World Vision’s Hope Initiative which targets care for orphan children in highly affected areas. In 2007, participants raised over $198,000 for a medical lab in Sinazongwe, Zambia, an area hit hard by HIV/AIDS. Participants from all over the country, will shoot thousands of free throws throughout 2008. These free throws represent the thousands of kids orphaned each day and will raise money to help alleviate their suffering.
