"Basketball has been the foundation in my life. But as I grew older, I discovered that my success would not be measured in wins and losses but in the number of lives that I touched."

-Rex Brown Jr.

Mission Statement

Baskets 4 Hope  seeks to improve the community through recreational programs and youth sports. By directly empowering the youth, Baskets 4 Hope stands for more than just a canned good, a trophy, or a basketball. Through charity events, scholarships, and fundraisers, we will go the extra mile to make sure our community knows that we care and that we want to make a difference. From the basketball court to the local charities, we will always strive to make the world better, one basket at a time.

"Hope Through Hoops"

In the summer of 2007, I attended the funeral of Eric Campos, a former high school classmate, who was killed in a senseless act of violence. This tragedy opened my eyes to the changing times of today's world. I wanted to help but no matter how hard I struggled with it, I could not figure out how. But then I remembered all the times that Eric and I would play basketball. So I decided to use my passion towards basketball to positively impact the community.

As Baskets 4 Hope enters its second year of operation, our best days are definitely ahead of us. I want to personally thank everyone for their support.

I vow to always run Baskets 4 Hope on the motto ,"Hope through hoops."

Thank you!

- Founder Rex Brown Jr.
