partnership proposal about helping hoops Helping Hoops is an independent charity running free weekly programs for over 1,000 disadvantaged and disabled children. Over 350 sessions per year benefit children and young people of all abilities aged 7 to 21. As a charity, Helping Hoops is not solely focused on improving skills, but also uses basketball to instil values that benefit children in their lives outside of sport.

Children attending Helping Hoops programs are from a refugee or migrant background, have an intellectual disability, are living on inner-city, high-rise public housing estates, or are asylum seekers.

Helping Hoops focuses on building self- esteem, providing a sense of belonging and community, aiding social cohesion, instilling discipline, developing goal setting and leadership skills, and promoting a healthy and active lifestyle.

Marques from our Helping Hoops Richmond program strikes a pose. about the 24 hour charity shootout How many free throws can you shoot in 15 minutes? The 24 Hour Charity Shootout welcomes over 150 participants at Albert Park College who shoot as many free throws as they can and fundraise in the lead up. The Shootout, now in its sixth year, is also a party with a carnival atmosphere, fun and games, food, prizes and activities for the whole family. Participants may only have 15 minutes to shoot, but they often stay for hours to enjoy the atmosphere on offer.

The significance of the 24 Hour Charity Shootout cannot be overstated. Helping Hoops does not receive government funding and provides all our programs for free to kids and communities. Therefore, we rely heavily on events and fundraising initiatives like The Shootout. In fact, the 2016 24 Hour Charity Shootout made up over 34% of our gross income for the 2015-16 financial year.
