We did it again — another fun and memorable Hoops Madness was had by all involved! Hundreds of players with their families and friends gathered at Norwood-Fontbonne Academy and La Salle College High School on March 14 to take part in our unique 3-on-3 tournament. With the support of so many special people, schools, institutions, and businesses, we continue to be fortunate to be able to grow the positive impact of Hoops Madness by utilizing basketball as a platform to promote healthy competition, community spirit, the benefits of volunteerism, and the importance of having FUN while trying YOUR best. All of these attributes were on display on Saturday as over 300 participants packed our courts at Norwood and La Salle!

We can’t wait to build new memories with all of you as we host our 12th Hoops Madness next year. Until then, we would like to offer special thanks to all of our incredible sponsors: Next Play Basketball, Bowman Properties, Temple-Chestnut Hill Hospital, FitLife Fitness, Aquatics and Physical Therapy, Chestnut Hill Hotel, Cosimo’s Pizza Café, Norwood-Fontbonne Academy, La Salle College High School, Kilian Hardware, Blake Development, Cawley Masonry, Night Kitchen Bakery & Cafe, Premier Orthopaedics, Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center, Scoogis Italian Kitchen & Bar, Chill on the Hill, and Woodmere art museum. Equally importantly, some amazingly dedicated individuals help make Hoops Madness happen (there are too many to name here who are equally appreciated!). With this in mind I would like to extend special thanks to: Matt Paul, Anne McNiff, Will Standish, Amy Jacoby, Sandi Stabler, Mark Inniss, Sinan Latib, Finley Paul, Rob Irons, Nate Walsh, Frankie Maletta, Marc Bainbridge, Jennifer Tilley, and Dr. John Scanlon.
