Wade Altum, the Founder, is 10 years old and decided to help the homeless and started Hoops Against Homelessness with partner One80 Place. He started the shooting/giving events in 2020 during COVID and began with a small event that grew over time. At first, they asked people to post on Instagram to shoot 10 hoops or donate, and that raised awareness bringing in about $1,500 that first year to fight homelessness.
Carter Delman, Assistant joined after he made donations and wanted to do more so he ended up joining Wade and Hoops Against Homelessness. Also, listen in and find out which basketball teams Wade and Carter like and why.

Wade adds that people can get involved by going to events, sharing on Instagram at @hoopsagainsthomelessness, or texting friends to tell them about Hoops Against Homelessness, and you can find them online at www.One80Place.org/hoops where you can find details about how to help, what great partners have joined this year, how you can host an event to raise funds, promote your progress all to raise awareness and donations to fight homelessness.
