What is Hoops for Hope?
Hoops for Hope is a March Madness bracket tournament for a great cause. What started as a small office pool has grown into a tournament that includes hundreds of the firm’s closest friends! This is the 37th year for our Hoops for Hope fundraiser, and all entry donations will support our 2025 Charity of Choice: Cystic Fibrosis Foundation- Gateway Chapter.
Chrysa Cousley, Anders Tax Manager and a Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Ambassador, nominated the organization for our 2025 Charity of Choice. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world’s leader in the search for a cure for cystic fibrosis. The foundation funds more CF research than any other organization, and nearly every CF drug available today was made possible because of its support.
Hoops for Hope has become one of the year’s largest fundraisers, with 100% of the proceeds going to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation- Gateway Chapter. Last year we had 750 entries, and our 2025 goal is 800!
