iStand Above donates to Cape Coast Hoops

The “iStand Above” campaign is a nonprofit organization that believes in providing opportunities and knowledge to determined young individuals striving to climb the ladder of success.

As part of its objectives a donation was made to the Hoops Basketball CLub after its match against Ghana Fire Service which Hoops won 90-57 retaining its status at the top of the league table.

Tesa Asloso and Halim Musah did the donation on behalf of their organization. Items donated were Interactive Drills Workout Book and Videos CD's which will go a long way in the developments of the club players and those in the extramural basketball program including children in the Hoops Care International program as well.

We hope and pray other esteem entities out there can emit such kind gesture in helping to improve the game we so love here in Ghana.

Thanks iStand Above and surely you stand above.
