Along with thousands of other Revolve Tour participants, I've made a commitment to participate in a Hoops of Hope, a free throw shooting marathon. It's like a walk-a-thon but more fun. I'm doing this to help children who have been orphaned by HIV and AIDS.

Over the past four years, Hoops of Hope participants have raised over $500,000. The money raised by participants has gone to sponsor hundreds of orphans, build a high school in Twachiyanda, Zambia, and last year, build a medical lab and counseling center in Sinazongwe, Zambia.

By my participation this year, I will be helping to raise money for a second medical lab and counseling center in Zambia as well as care centers for orphan children in Swaziland. Across the world over 5,700 children every day are losing one or both parents to HIV and AIDS. I can't possibly help them all, but if each of us help a little, together we can make a big difference!
