The Hoops of Hope All-Star event, deemed “the world’s largest free throw festival” is coming to the King of Prussia Mall! It's much like a walk-a-thon, only with basketball free throws.  The event will bring together over 1,200 free throw shooters, attempting over 600,000 free throws. The goal of the event is to raise over $200,000 to provide education, health care and economic development to AIDS orphans and their communities in Africa. All participants who raise the pledge goal of $150 will receive a free event t-shirt, goodie bag from sponsors and a ticket to the evening Concert for the Cause, featuring Dave Barnes, Francesca Battistelli and The Afters. Participants can register at (http://www.hoopsofhopeallstars.com/). The family-friendly festival is open to the public and will also feature outdoor music stages featuring local Philly bands, a Kids Zone with inflatable games and entertainment and a Basketball Challenge with contests and cool prizes. Hoops of Hope founder Austen Gutwein will be on-site participating in the event and helping to raise awareness about the cause.
