AADPs Hoops for Hope

AADP is hosting its 1st annual 3-on-3 charity basketball tournament this summer. There are many amongst us whose lives have been deeply affected by blood cancers like leukemia or lymphoma. Through Hoops for Hope, we hope to use sports as a medium to spread awareness about the need for more multi-ethnic donors on the registry. This competition gives you and your team a wonderful opportunity to make a difference in the lives of many patients, donors, survivors, and the many friends and families touched by leukemia and other life-threatening blood diseases. All funds raised from the event will benefit the AADP, a local non-profit that is dedicated to helping save the lives of patients diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood cancers curable by a stem cell transplant.
