Who we help

Strong kids. Strong community.

Our primary mission is to provide a resource that will help defray the cost of sports and community programs for children in families suffering from temporary financial hardship. The generous donations we receive will be allocated as follows.

To fund the sports and community programs for children in families coping with the financial hardships associated with ongoing cancer treatment.

Local sports and community organizations to assist with their grant in aid programs.

Scholarship Funding – We intend to establish 1-3 scholarships to assist a local high school athletes with college. These candidates will be selected based on academic performance, community service, and actions that honor the memory of Matt Hupp.

Dear Steve and Julie,

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much! Your generosity is greatly appreciated!!!! M. loved the photo activities this week and the kids are very excited about baseball starting soon. P. didn't do a fund raiser this weekend so instead our family volunteered together packaging food for starving children. I think they said that our shift of volunteers packaged almost 5,800 meals. Enjoy Spring and thank you again for your support and prayers. God Bless your family and Twelve Oaks.

B&B Rising Stars - Motto East meets West
B&B's aim is to have young athletes from the west side of Lake County (Round Lake, Grayslake, Lake Villa, Fox Lake, Mundelein), MEET young athletes from the east side of Lake County (Zion, North Chicago, Waukegan and Gurnee) through basketball to share experiences, become life long friends and develop into good student athletes while becoming solid citizens.

Hoopsters Basketball Camp - Outreach has started and we are reaching out to Children's Hospitals as well as the local sports and art organizations that come into direct contact with families struggling with these financial needs. We hope to reach and help over 80 families in 2011, as well as to assist over 20 youth organizations.
