Welcome to Embrace Hoopfest! A Slam Dunk for a Great Cause! 🏀

Get ready for an epic basketball marathon with heart! Embrace Hoopfest is more than just 24 hours of non-stop basketball action—it's a celebration of community, teamwork, and making a real difference in the lives of others. Starting at 7am on June 26, 2026, and finishing at 7am on June 27, 2026, it's a full 24 hours of basketball events preceding Spokane Hoopfest in Hooptown USA, Spokane, WA!

This year, we’re playing to support two incredible causes: Embrace Washington and Hoopfest charities.

About Embrace Washington:
This amazing organization has touched the lives of over 11,000 children in foster care across Eastern Washington. Their impactful programs include health care assistance for children with special medical needs (1 in 5 foster children), duffel bag suitcases to replace trash bags, welcome boxes to ease transitions into foster homes, educational tutoring, YMCA scholarships, tailored beds, and the “Request a Wish” program to make foster kids' dreams come true.

About Hoopfest charities:
Your support also benefits a lineup of vital community organizations, including the Special Olympics East Region, Chase Youth Commission, East Central Community Center, Libby Teen Center, Mobius Science Center, Salvation Army, Spokane Area Outdoor Basketball Court Program, Spokane Parks & Recreation Department, Spokane Sports Commission, St. Luke’s Rehabilitation Institute, YMCA, YWCA, and West Central Community Center. Together, these organizations strengthen our community and create opportunities for people of all ages.

Why Donate?
Because this isn’t just a basketball event—it’s a movement to uplift lives and empower communities. Every dollar raised fuels programs and resources that make a meaningful impact. Your generosity ensures we can continue providing essential support to those who need it most.

So, whether you’re a basketball fan, a supporter of these amazing causes, or just someone who believes in the power of giving back, we invite you to join us. Sponsor a player, cheer on the court, or make a direct donation. Every contribution, big or small, helps us take the shot that changes lives.
