Hoops for Hope Charity Basketball Tournament!

💖🏀 Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Basketball Tournament 🏀💖

Hoops for Hope is a charity basketball game bringing the community together for fun, competition, and a great cause. Local players, leaders, and supporters hit the court to raise breast cancer awareness and funds that give hope to those in need.

We’re proud to partner with In Her Strength, an incredible nonprofit dedicated to providing financial and emotional support to young women and families (ages 18–39) impacted by breast cancer.

We look forward to seeing you at this great event and supporting such a worthy cause!

The Raleigh Firebirds are thrilled to host Hoops for Hope as part of our Health & Wellness Game!
