When Ben Shewry throws a party, you cancel all your plans and show up! Ben, chef/owner of the all-conquering Attica restaurant, has been an amazing supporter of Helping Hoops in 2014 through his volunteer work at our Helping Hoops Richmond program and his fundraising for the 24 Hour Charity Shootout.
Today, we are pleased to share our new logo and brand. The identity provides a strong, yet simple, logo that pays homage to our short but rich history, and takes Helping Hoops into the future.
Helping Hoops is delighted to announce Sportsmart as our inaugural Three Point Community Sponsor for 2014-15. Sportsmart will donate $40 to Helping Hoops for every three-pointer made by Melbourne United during the 2014-15 NBL season, with funds helping to sustaining and growing our free weekly basketball programs for disadvantaged and disabled children all across Melbourne.
Cleo Bachelor contender Nick Bell is using his nomination to raise awareness and donations for Helping Hoops. Driven by his love of sport, the entrepreneur has chosen to support Helping Hoops as he believes the smaller local charity is deserving of exposure.
A simple basketball shot can help change the lives of children in need. In 2014-15 Melbourne United and Helping Hoops will team up to show just how true this is.
Children and young people attending Helping Hoops programs may come from migrant or refugee backgrounds, living in inner-city public housing estates, have an intellectual disability or special needs, or may be socioeconomically disadvantaged in some way.
Helping Hoops aims to build self-esteem, provide a sense of belonging and community, aid social cohesion, instill discipline, develop goal setting and leadership skills, and promote a healthy and active lifestyle.
