Hoopin' It Up For A Brighter Tomorrow

Our MISSION

Hoops For Youth Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that supports at-risk 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.

GIVE TODAY TO support kids in need

There isn't a more rewarding organization to be a part of than one that has done so much to create so many opportunities for the youth of Washington D.C. This is a place where making a difference takes priority over partisanship and the petty divisiveness that oftentimes stands in the way of true progress. Nothing is more inspiring than seeing all of these kids come to the event every year with their energy and positivity to cheer us on as we try and be a difference-maker in their lives.
