BOOST Kids Profiles

Learn the stories of some of the Youth that have been sponsored through the HoopLife BOOST Kids Program & how it has helped them excel!

BROOKLYN

Brooklyn is both driven and determined and is one who takes charge as a leader and encourages others to excel in all they do. Her interests are in Sports, Music, and Drama.
‍
The need for Brooklyn’s funding stems from her current family situation. Pamela Artavia, Brooklyn's mother, has 6 other children. Pamela was left in a tough position as her husband faced difficulties and was forced to leave home. As a result, she has been working extremely hard with the financial burden to take care of her children. Brooklyn hoped to attend HoopLife and Pamela reached out to HoopLife for assistance.

BOOST Kids has given Brooklyn the opportunity to play basketball and to learn the skills of the game and skills to develop her character! She has loved her time at HoopLife and the opportunities it has presented.

Millie

Millie is the youngest of 3 girls. She has an amazing personality, is funny and a very caring soul. She loves animals, the outdoors, swimming, and dancing. As she watched her sisters play basketball, she became their biggest fan and cheered for them. She enjoys learning and playing basketball and HoopLife would be an amazing opportunity for her.
‍
Being the youngest of 3 kids, it was a struggle for Millie’s Single Mother who works full time and was in schooling to find time for her kids and to put them in youth programs. BOOST Kids has offered Millie and her family support through the opportunity to play at HoopLife & receive gifts and supplies.

KING

King is easy going and basketball has totally grasped his focus. King had a hard time adjusting his first couple years in Canada, and basketball at HoopLife has given him a way to meet friends and find a sense of belonging at HoopLife.

King has spent some time away from his Mom and their family in the past and they have since been rebuilding but struggling financially.

Through BOOST Kids, King is able to play basketball to ultimately fulfill his dream to make it in the NBA and be just as great as his idol Kobe was as he plays at HoopLife!

Success Stories

HoopLife 1-On-1 Basketball Training Session Coach Training

Kelly Labadie

"Thank you to the sponsors that make it possible for kids to play the sports they love. I especially want to thank Hunter’s sponsor. Without you, Hunter wouldn't have had the opportunity to train with the amazing coaches at HoopLife, and have access to a gym to work on his skills. This program and the coaches have taken Hunter under their wing and they treat him like family. I am so incredibly happy he has these people to look up to, be his mentors, and learn from."

Amanda Castilleja

"The BOOST program has been a game changer for my son! As a single mom without family in Canada, the coaches and staff have been like an extended family for me and ZZ. The connections he’s made have provided a sense of support and fun over the years. ZZ’s confidence with basketball and life have grown thanks to HoopLife!!"

Sara Ashton

"Being accepted into the HoopLife boost program was such a blessing for our family. The opportunity to participate in all the HoopLife programs has been a dream come true for him. Keeping Pierce active in a sport he loves has made all the difference in his attitude and outlook towards the future. It’s helped him develop critical skills like persistence, good sportsmanship and commitment. We are forever grateful to the HoopLife family for extending such generosity and inclusion to our family!"

How are BOOST Kids Chosen?

Families are screened on their background and household income to determine if they qualify for the BOOST program. With dozens of children already paired, we are only scratching the surface with dozens more on the sidelines waiting to be paired.

Families who have low household income, receive support through the provincial government, or have troubling home situations are all considered eligible. Children and youth ages 7 to 18 years are all eligible to become a BOOST Kid.

The Story of BOOST Kids?

BOOST Kids was created to assist underprivileged families who don’t have the resources to give gifts and extracurricular programs like HoopLife to their children.

We have seen family after family experience difficulty in supporting their children due to personal circumstances. We want to continue helping everyone in our community.

We must partner with the leaders in our community to support the children that need help most.

Powerful Mentorship

Mentorship is a key area of your investment. We believe that all children need a model of success and discipline to follow and learn from to be successful.

Our coaches work to positively impact every child and provide guidance depending on their unique skillset and situation. We become the big Brothers and Sisters for our BOOST kids helping them to be successful and confident to achieve anything they set their mind too. Our HoopLife team is dedicated to mentoring the youth.

What do BOOST Kids Receive?

When approved, your child will receive a 3-Point HoopLife Membership ($3000 ~ Value) with training and mentorship from the HoopLife Team each week, year-round.
