Another Amazing HOOPATLANTA!

Converse HOOPATLANTA 2010 was a huge success! I would like to give a big "thank you" to Converse, our sponsors and everyone who attended HOOPATLANTA, especially our special invited guest Lieutenant Governor Case Cagle, Brian Jordan, Kathy Betty, Brandon Rudat and Dr. Kay Kirkpatrick. Spread over 50 courts, we over 1,000 players participated in this year's event. It was quite a site! Over 250,000 square feet covered with courts, basketball enthusiasts and spectators of all ages and sizes; the buzz and excitement was everywhere. Most of you lasted the entire day, but it was exhausting even for the most dedicated. With a tremendous sports and health expo, the family fun zone with inflatables and interactive games and contest courts, HOOPATLANTA was truly an amazing event for all who attended. Once again, I would like to thank the community of Atlanta, the amazing team at the Georgia World Congress Center, our dear friends and volunteers, sponsors and those who traveled from far away places to contribute to such an inspiring, contagious day of fun and health. We all discovered just how powerful one sport, that anyone can enjoy almost anywhere in the world, can bring such a tremendous group together for a good cause. We are already hard at work getting our plans together for HOOPATLANTA 2011. We look forward to seeing you next year!
