Philanthropy
A core component of the HoopsLink mission is to give back to the communities in which we are operating by contributing time, resources and programming to help disadvantaged and underserved youth through basketball-based life skills development programs. We believe in the power of basketball to change lives. We've already formed partnerships with a few exceptional organizations in Chicago where we will host free skills clinics and provide mentorship opportunities. It's not only a great way to give back, it's also fun!
Through many of its strategic facilities partners that cater to Chicago youth, HoopsLink's unrivaled staff of role models provide aspiring young athletes with access to innovative basketball training, exposure to various cultural and entrepreneurial experiences and a focus on the value of pursuing higher education.
One organization that HoopsLink supports is The Hoops Class Foundation. Started by one of our founders, the Hoops Class Foundation is a non-profit that employs comprehensive curriculum of character development and basketball instruction to underprivileged children in Chicago.
In 2015, thru generous gifts from The Hoops Class Foundation donors, the foundation was able to provide new uniforms to the Boys and Girls 4th-8th Grade Basketball Teams of St. Malachy School in Chicago.
