Philanthropy

At Hoopademix, we believe every child deserves a chance to thrive—not just on the court, but in life. Since its inception, Hoopademix has been committed to creating pathways of success and and access to opportunities for under-resourced Chicago children because we know that the high costs of travel basketball create a barrier to participating travel basketball programs like Hoopademix.

That’s why we created the Hoopademix Scholarship Program. Since launching in 2013, we’ve provided full scholarships to over 3,500 young athletes, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to participation. What began with waiving fees for just twelve players has grown into a movement powered by the generosity of sponsors and donors who believe in the transformative power of sports and mentorship.

At Hoopademix, our impact extends beyond developing strong basketball players. We are deeply committed to nurturing well-rounded, confident, and academically engaged youth. Our program combines high-level basketball training with academic support and personal mentorship—reaching families across a wide spectrum of racial, social, and economic backgrounds. We are proud to serve one of the most diverse youth communities in Chicago and to create spaces where young people feel seen, supported, and inspired.

The infrastructure of our program relies on the generosity of supporters who believe in our program. Your sponsorship directly funds the scholarships that allow our players to participate in a program that not only builds athletic skill, but also opens doors to lifelong opportunity. Every dollar makes a difference—and 100% of your contribution goes directly to program costs like coaching, gym rentals, transportation, and gear.

Together, we can break down barriers. Together, we can give more kids the chance to play, grow, and succeed—on the court and beyond. Thank you in advance for your generosity and belief in what’s possible for Chicago’s youth. We would be honored to have your support.
