Money becomes shoes

Every donation is spent on real pairs in real sizes for kids in Washington state.

Handed over in person

Every pair is delivered by hand. The founder drives out and puts the shoes in the kid's hands himself.

0%

Not a cent stays behind. The books balance in the kids' favor.

The founder keeps nothing and covers operating costs from his own pocket. Donated money exists for one purpose: shoes on kids' feet, placed there by hand.

The Founder

Demetrius "Donny" Griffin

Donny founded Hoop Therapy on a simple belief: physical activity is therapy. A game gives kids an outlet, and a way through pressure that talk alone can't always reach. Basketball came first. The mission has room for any game a kid can lose themselves in.

He delivers every pair personally because the delivery is part of the gift: proof that a stranger cared enough to come in person.
