The first Hoops for Hope charity basketball game will be held Wednesday, September 28, from 4-8 p.m. at the CPS Sportsplex, 110 Athletes Row, Apopka.
Hoops for Hope is a fundraising charity event to help foster positive relationships between law enforcement and the local community. Funds raised from this event will go toward scholarship funds for qualifying senior students at both Apopka and Wekiva high schools that will be given out on behalf of the Apopka Community Task Force. There will also be a scholarship giveaway for a student to attend the Apopka Basketball AAU Camp.
The event is being put on by HSC II Parent Awareness, which is sponsored by Orange County Commissioner Bryan Nelson. Apopka City Commissioner Kyle Becker will host the charity basketball game.
“Hoops For Hope is passionate about people,” a spokesman said. “We want to see youth improve their social skills as well as discover that they are significant in this world. We believe that everyone has a purpose, a plan, a part and a place. We plan to touch the lives of children who are most at-risk, and inspire them to become confident, competent and caring individuals in our society.”
This will be a charity basketball event focusing on stopping the violence and increasing communication between police and community. The basketball game will be between 11th and 12th grade Apopka and Wekiva students on one team vs. Court Kingz.
There will be entertainment, including performing groups, and music. Free T-shirts will be given to the first 150 people and $200 for the half-court shot.
Sponsorships are available and range to $500.
