Our Mission

Hoops for Hope exists to inspire young people by giving them access to professional basketball experiences they might never otherwise see — and to help them imagine a bigger future for themselves.

Access

Tickets, transportation coordination, and opportunities that remove barriers.

Inspiration

Meet-and-greets, team events, and moments that make kids feel seen and capable.

Community

Local partners, mentors, and volunteers working together to create real experiences.

What We Do

We’re not a basketball league — we’re a bridge into the world around the game.

Game Day Access

Group trips, first-game experiences, and “this is possible for me” moments.

Meet & Greets

Photo opportunities and structured encounters with players, staff, or alumni.

Behind the Scenes

Practice viewings, arena tours, and learning how big organizations operate.

Community Events

Partner-led activations and experiences designed around youth confidence.
