More Than a Game: How Hoops for Inclusion Makes a Real Impact in Williston

This isn’t just another basketball game. It’s a chance for the community to rally together and support the incredible work of the Opportunity Foundation. Every dollar raised during Hoops for Inclusion goes directly into their Activity Fund, helping provide meaningful, everyday experiences for the individuals they serve.

And here’s the really cool part—your support, no matter the size, truly matters. A $60 donation helps someone lace up their bowling shoes and enjoy a full session in OFI’s bowling league. Forty bucks? That gets someone an ARC punch card for 10 visits to the Williston Area Recreation Center, opening the door to exercise, fun, and connection. Even $25 can make a summer night extra special by sending someone to a Summer Nights on Main event. That’s what inclusion looks like. Real moments, real memories, right here in our community.
