What’s a Hoop-A-Thon?
The Hoop-A-Thon is an annual basketball fundraising event that challenges players to sink as many free throws as possible in one minute. We gather pledges and donations for Rotarians, Interactors, Rotaractors, and Basketball players who participate. All money received goes to local charities.
Thank you to our media sponsor GLOBAL BC and News Anchor Chris Gailus for their ongoing support. Watch GLOBAL News featuring the 2022 Rotary Hoop-A-Thon:

In Vancouver, money is awarded for scholarships, the SCC Basketball Program, and leadership training.
Scholarships help students with their tuition and other costs for college and university. All of the students who receive Rotary funding have demonstrated their commitment to community service, youth leadership, and volunteerism - and have a verified need for financial support due to family and individual circumstances.
