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.

Hoops for Hope provides a great day of fun for the entire community! Teams compete for medals in all brackets. Tournament will include separate divisions for male and female participants from middle school to adult.  Brackets will be based on the types of teams that register based on sex and age.  Female players are permitted on male teams with no special privileges.  We anticipating a large turnout of participants, volunteers and spectators.  We will provide a playing bracket for any group of 3 like teams.
