The Elks National Hoop Shoot Free Throw program is America's largest non-commercial coeducational sports program. It offers girls and boys ages 8 to 13 an opportunity for character and skill development in athletic competition.

The Elks' goal is to give all kids without regard to race, color, or creed a chance to participate and compete.

Local Director Kenneth Walker would like to thank the parents who brought their kids and helped to put on the Elks Hoop Shoot.
