We’re proud to spotlight Hoops 4 Hunger, an impactful campaign led by the West Ada Education Foundation that brings school spirit and community service together for a powerful cause. Hoops 4 Hunger helps eliminate unpaid school lunch balances for families in need across West Ada schools, ensuring no student goes hungry. Elementary, middle, and high schools rally together in friendly competition to raise funds, earning bragging rights while making a real difference for local kids.
You can give back in two easy ways: donate directly through the Hoops 4 Hunger website, or purchase your tickets to the Big Sky Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournament at Idaho Central Arena. General Admission tickets are just $18, and $3 from every ticket purchased through this link goes directly to Hoops 4 Hunger. The tournament runs March 7–11 and features top universities from across the Big Sky Conference, with champions advancing to the NCAA Tournament. If you love basketball and believe no student should go hungry, this is a simple way to make your ticket count.
