Hoops of Hope All-Stars Saturday, July 31st, from 10 am to 10 pm, at the King of Prussia Mall
The
event is aiming to raise over $200,000 to benefit AIDS orphans and
their communities in Africa. The event will bring together over 1,200
shooters, attempting over 600,000 free throws – each shot helping
transform the life of an AIDS orphan.
This effort was first
started by a nine-year-old, Austin Gutwein, who was moved to action
after seeing a video by World Vision, a humanitarian relief
organization, about a girl from Zambia who lost both her parents to
AIDS. Austin garnered sponsors that would pay $1 for each shot he made.
Austin shot 2,057 free throws, one for every child orphaned from AIDS
during an average school day. Hoops of Hope event has since raised over
$1.8 million to build a school, medical clinic, water system and two
orphan hope centers in Zambia.
The family-friendly event features: 40 Courts dedicated to Free Throw Shoot-a-thon Music Stage with local Philadelphia musicians & bands Kids Zone with inflatable games All-Stars Concert for the Cause Free Throw Clinics NBSA Keystone State Free Throw Championship
Registration cost is $29.95 and you get: All-Stars T-shirt All-Stars Goodie Bag Ticket to the All-Stars Concert for the Cause Please

event on July 31st and challenge them to meet the $150 pledge goal. I
