Maine Hoops presents on Veteran’s Day weekend, November 10th and 11th the 2nd Annual “Hoops for the Troops” Basketball Tournament. A portion of the proceeds (Registration Fees and Admissions) from the event will benefit the "Homes for Our Troops" and all Military families will receive free admissions at all sites. This is a Championship Event with winning teams receiving Championship T-Shirts. All game will played in Maine in the Portland/Saco area.
What a GREAT way to show your support to the veterans and service members on Veteran's Day Weekend. Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) is a privately funded 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post – 9/11 Veterans, to enable them to rebuild their lives. Most of these Veterans have sustained injuries including multiple limb amputations, partial or full paralysis, and/or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). These homes restore some of the freedom and independence our Veterans sacrificed while defending our country, and enable them to focus on their family, recovery, and rebuilding their lives. Since its inception in 2004, nearly 90 cents out of every dollar has gone directly to our program services for Veterans. HFOT builds these homes where the Veteran chooses to live, and continues its relationship with the Veterans after home delivery to assist them with rebuilding their lives. Join in and play in some Great Fall Hoop action while benefiting a great cause!
