Hoopin' It Up For A Brighter Tomorrow
Our MISSION
Hoops For Youth Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that supports kids in our communities. We provide the most basic tools that young people need to help them play team sports and face the many challenges of growing up in communities plagued by poverty and crime. Through our efforts we offer kids, who may not get the love and support they need at home, an opportunity to grow and develop in a safe environment.
