What's a Hoop-a-thon? For those who don’t know, Hoop-A-Thon is our club's signature fundraising event based on pledges in support of the number of free throws each participant can sink in one minute. The funds raised go to scholarships, local youth leadership programs and the basketball program at Strathcona Community Centre (SCC).
This year, with the return to a live program in the SCC gym, the Hoop-A-Thon fundraising target is $50,000 in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the Strathcona Community Centre and the basketball program. Our 2022 Hoop-A-Thon partnership now involves nine Rotary Clubs, Rotaractors, Interactors, a Rotary Club and a basketball club in Germany and various local business sponsors, including Global BC TV and regular attendees Chris Gailus and Yvonne Schalle.
