We're shooting hoops for kids!
Look at that perfect shooting form!
 
 
 
The Strathcona ROTARY Hoop-A-Thon is an annual basketball fund raising event that helps hundred of kids in East Vancouver. We have set a goal of $30,000 for this year’s Hoop-A-Thon on June 3, 2017.  ROTARY is shooting for $20,000 and Strathcona kids are shooting for $10,000.
Youths aged 10 to 18 years of age will be joined by Rotarians, alumni and VIPs who have collected pledges to shoot free throws earning money for the program.
 
Since 2006 over $250,000 has been raised for the Strathcona ROTARY Youth Leadership Program - helping kids through education, teamwork, leadership skills, community involvement and respect for others.
 
The Strathcona ROTARY Hoop-A-Thon is supported by the 3 ROTARY Clubs in Vancouver: ROTARY Club of Vancouver Sunrise, ROTARY Club of Vancouver Yaletown and ROTARY Club of Vancouver… We believe in Service above Self.  There are over 1.2 million Rotarians who make a difference in the world everyday… Help us help the kids!
 
Donations from this year’s Hoop-A-thon will pay for sports equipment, clinics, bursaries, scholarships and training…
 
High school kids in the program need to work part-time jobs, so again this year we will award money for certification training for Food Safe, First Aid and World Host. $10,000 in Vocational Training, Bursaries and Post Secondary Scholarships will be presented in addition to funding for the Strathcona Youth Basketball Program.
