Ready to have a ball? Hoop Dreams for a Cure is back!

The popular, family-friendly Hoop Dreams for a Cure event returns this month after being benched since 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Join us as Community Healthcare System medical professionals, physicians, administration and staff face off on the basketball court to raise money for the Cancer Resource Centre.

This year’s event will be held Friday, April 28 at Munster High School, 8808 Columbia Ave. Doors open at 6 p.m.; team draft gets underway at 6:45; and tipoff is at 7.

Half-time entertainment will feature the Munster High School Junior Varsity Dance Team and a free-throw contest. Dippin’ Dots and Twisted Sugar will be on hand with tasty treats for sale. A portion of the sales will be donated to the Cancer Resource Centre. A concession stand also will be available.

Tickets are $5 and can be purchased in advance at the Cancer Resource Centre, 926 Ridge Road, Munster, and online at myccrf.com. Tickets also can be bought at the door the night of the event. Be a buzzer beater and get your tickets now to support a great cause!

The Cancer Resource Centre is a program of the Community Cancer Research Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of cancer care available in Northwest Indiana and Chicago’s south suburbs. All CRC services are free of charge.
