Hoops of Hope: Shooting Free Throws to Help Children Orphaned by HIV and AIDS



This is where Hoops of Hope participants can create their own online fund-raising web page.  Click the get started button below, title your page and set a fundraising goal of $250 or more.  It only takes a few minutes!  Once your page is completed, you can invite friends and family to support you as you shoot free throws to help children orphaned by HIV and AIDS. 

Last year, Hoops of Hope participants raised over $198,000 and helped build a medical lab and voluntary counseling center in the community of Sinazongwe, Zambia. In 2008, we will build a second medical lab and counseling center in Zambia.  These laboratories provide quick and effective HIV/AIDS testing, allowing those who are ill to quickly begin drug therapy and other treatments. This helps to prolong the lives of moms and dads and helps keep children from becoming orphans.

Across the world, over 5,700 children every day are losing one or both parents to HIV and AIDS. The problem is huge and clouds the future of these children with fear and uncertainty. But now you can make a significant difference for the children and families of one community in the country of Zambia—and have a lot of fun doing it! Your personal fund-raising goal of $250 or more will make a huge difference in providing help for this community.

Through Hoops of Hope, you can directly impact the lives of children orphaned by HIV and AIDS.  Create your fund-raising web page and join the fight against HIV and AIDS today!
