Play for Orange
This year’s Hoopsgiving event will benefit Play for Orange, a non-profit initiative dedicated to raising awareness and funding in the fight against childhood leukemia. Through basketball, we provide a platform for players, schools, and communities to come together for a cause bigger than the game. Our mission is to provide resources, care, and experiences and each year, we make generous donations to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, supplying essential items and brightening the lives of children and families. Through fundraising, events, and community support, Play for Orange spreads hope, strengthens families, and empowers children to face their fight with courage.
