The purpose of the annual Hoop Hop Basketball Tournament is to create a space for local artists, community activists and grassroots entrepreneurs to simultaneously showcase their talents and positively impact the greater Boston metropolitan area, primarily the youth of the community. By combining the twin energies of art and sport, the Hoop Hop movement is firmly anchored by the belief that true community empowerment must be both active and creative. Furthermore, by raising funds to provide opportunities for inner city youth who may be short on resources, Hoop Hop aims to foster an environment that promotes growth and encourages those with musical talent to follow that path. With a fun day of activities including exciting b-ball moves, a community awareness resource fair, locally-sourced artisan’s marketplace and live entertainment, Bakari J.B. and the Hoop Hop team have crafted one of Boston’s premier events.
