WHAT IS HOOPS FOR A CURE ?
Hoops for a Cure is a charity basketball camp that began in 2015 due to a love and passion for basketball, a Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis and a desire to make a difference.
After the childhood diagnosis of their daughter Eden, and dealing with years of misinformation in the public, the Perry Family's desire to help educate the community about Type 1 Diabetes was the driving force behind Hoops for a Cure. Eden Perry, now 15 years of age, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the young age of 7. Although a daily struggle, T1D has never stopped her from playing the sport she loves to the best of her ability. What began as an intimate camp to mentor young girls and help develop a strong love of basketball, with a little education and fundraising for Type 1 Diabetes sprinkled in - Hoops for a Cure has now blossomed into an event to look forward to for girls within the community. Hoops for a Cure 2017 was hosted and lead by the Sierra College Women's Basketball program providing high level instruction, and a court full of mentors for young women to look up to. At Hoops for a Cure you can expect - expert basketball instruction, fun games, drills and prizes - all for a good cause. |
