Hoops 4 Humanity: playing for Gaza

More than a hundred participants turned a 3-on-3 tournament into relief for Gaza.

The first Hoops 4 Humanity was a 3-on-3 tournament with a mission: to bring hope and relief to the people of Gaza. More than a hundred participants came out, and every game played contributed to something bigger.

Minhaj Welfare Foundation Canada partnered on the day, and the Minhaj Sisters organized games of their own along with a bake sale whose proceeds also went to Gaza. Every forum of Minhaj-ul-Quran Canada showed up, including the Smiling Seniors Forum, whose enthusiasm brought the gym to life.

Thank you to our sponsors, Apna Farm, Utopia Logistics and High Point Homes, and to every player and supporter. Hoops 4 Humanity showed that sport can be more than a game.
