About Hoops for Good

Hi, I’m River. I’m 11 years old and I love basketball.

I started Hoops for Good because I wanted to run a small business and do something that helps other kids too. I thought it would be cool to sell something fun—like a mini basketball hoop you can hang on your door—and also make a difference.

For every hoop that gets sold, $10 goes to Charity Bounce, an organisation that runs basketball programs for young people who are doing it tough.

Some kids grow up in communities where life is really hard. They might feel left out because of things like language or culture, or they’re going through stuff like not having enough food, feeling down, or not getting much support at school.

Charity Bounce helps by using basketball in a different way. It’s not just about the game—it’s about helping kids feel strong, confident, and proud of who they are. They run programs that build skills for learning and jobs, and help kids set goals for the future.

They focus especially on working with Indigenous and culturally diverse communities.

So when you buy a hoop, you’re not just getting something fun for your room—you’re helping another kid get the chance to play, grow, and believe in themselves.

Thanks for being part of it. 🏀
