On November 16th, 2019 the Portland Hope Chapter will be hosting an endurance basketball event called “Hoops for HOPE” in collaboration with the HOPE worldwide organization and Warner Pacific University.  The tournament will last 6 straight hours!  While lots of basketball will be occurring, this event is more importantly focused on supporting children and families in the Philippines. This year the 20 players participating will be raising $500 each, all of which will go directly to helping children access education and families develop sustainable lives in Daan Bantayan, Cebu, Philippines.

Checkout the Hoops4Hope PDX Facebook Event Page for more information on time, location and more details on projects in the Philippines.
