About the Bay Street Hoops Basketball Tournament
Bay Street Hoops Basketball Organization is one of Toronto’s premier charity sports organizations. Since 1995, over $1,600,000 has been raised for children’s charities in the Toronto area, including over $160,000 in 2010. During its 15 year tenure, Bay Street Hoop's main program has been the Bay Street Hoops Charity Basketball tournament. This 3-day basketball tournament has featured men’s and women’s teams from local corporations and professional firms who participate in a round-robin, 5-on-5 tournament, with over 70 teams. Last year more than 900 players from Toronto’s leading law and accounting firms, financial services companies and other corporations, as well as hundreds of spectators and volunteers, attended the tournament and its related events. Bay Street Hoops is about two things: basketball and community. The typical participant is a young lawyer, accountant or financial services professional who loves playing basketball and, more importantly, wants to help those who are less fortunate. Built on a foundation of participation and community spirit, Bay Street Hoops is about having fun and supporting deserving children and youth charities in Toronto.
