About The Gala:

​Hoops & Sneakers is a gathering to celebrate 25+ years of Coach Thompson serving our KC metro youth and its community. Although Coach was a basketball player, the true meaning of HOOP in Hoop Service is Helping Out Other People in which he learned at an early age while watching his father interact and serve the less fortunate in their family grocery business.

Hoop Service is now the Jr. Sizzlers to keep in line with the KC Sizzlers semi-pro which is owned and coached by Coach Thompson.
​
Please join us as we come together and revisit the many lives that were touched throughout the many hours on and off of the court. Testimonies from former players, parents and sponsors, dinner and a silent auction will also take place.

About Our Beneficiaries
Jr. Sizzlers

Participation in our Jr. Sizzlers youth program is not based upon one's ability to pay or play, but rather on one's commitment to education and wanting to be a productive citizen. This commitment requires dedication to self-discipline, hard work, respect for others, teamwork, and helping peers achieve their potential on and off the playing fields.

These principles teach our youth to look beyond themselves by reaching out to others who have less, whether it be less
money, skill, or confidence.

Our future after school and summer programs engenders each participant's ability to problem solve and work effectively with others through athletics, fostering proper assertiveness, enhanced communication skills, confidence, discipline, and teamwork.
