What is Hoops for Hope? Hoops for Hope is the annual 3 on 3 basketball tournament, to benefit the Make A Wish Foundation of Central Ohio. The Make-A-Wish Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) organization, grants the wishes of children with life threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. These children "like all children" dream of meeting celebrities, taking trips, or receiving special presents. But their families, coping with the pain and stress of battling their illness, often can't make those dreams come true. The Foundation's goal is to provide each child and his or her family with a wonderful experience: a bright oasis of happiness and normalcy in the midst of a difficult time.
How will the tournament be organized? Hoops for Hope provides a weekend of fun, food and entertainment for the entire community! Teams compete for cash prizes in all divisions. The tournament will include separate divisions for males and females in junior high, high school, and adult. Divisions will be based on the oldest individual of the team.
We anticipate several hundred players and volunteers, plus family members and spectators. Local media will be notified of the event for maximum event exposure for our sponsors.
