High Five Hope

Bringing Hope Through Hoops

There are basketball hoops around the world. In cities and in small villages, in deserts and in mountain jungles – basketball courts require little more than a backboard and a hoop. Nets, posts, hardtop, painted lines are all optional. Basketball courts come in half or full sizes, backboards can be square, oval, round, or most any other geometric shape and made of plastic, metal, wood, or anything that can serve a bank shot. A hoop and a ball are all that you need for a game.

Around the world children play basketball in rain or shine. For many of these children, the court and the game are more than just sport, in some cases it’s an escape, a reprieve, a way to forget the problems and strife in their daily lives. There’s something magic about basketball and how it can bring both joy of sport and teamwork while also lifting the individual spirit.

High Five Hope is an effort to help more children experience greater self esteem, confidence, pride, leadership, teamwork and most importantly, happiness and hope through the power of sports. Every child deserves the opportunity to develop, to smile, and to have greater hope.
