Friday is 08/08/08 & it's WORLD HOOP DAY! To commemorate this fabulous occasion, hoopers will be gathering & jamming & having a hoop parade. *It is critical that this gathering/parade be viewed in a renegade fashion ~ ie: you all just "randomly decided" to come out & hoop at these places, but THERE IS NO ONE WHO ORGANIZED THIS EVENT. This way, no one will get in trouble* :) Here are the details:

WHO: HOOPERS

WHAT: WORLD HOOP DAY CELEBRATION

WHERE: MEET ON THE GRASS IN FRONT OF CAMBRIDGE CITY HALL IN CENTRAL SQUARE ~ WE WILL WAIT FOR 10 MINUTES OR SO & THEN BEGIN A MARCH TO HARVARD SQUARE & THE CAMBRIDGE COMMON

WHEN: FRIDAY AUGUST 8TH, 2008 (08/08/08) @ 8PM

WHY: BECAUSE WE LOVE HOOPING!

HOW: WE ARE GOING TO ROCK OUT WITH AS MANY HOOPS, HOOPERS, COSTUMES, BOOMBOXES & FUN THAT WE CAN MUSTER.

Here's their mission statement:
Join Us On Our Mission

Since 2007, World Hoop Day has been dedicated to bringing toy and dance hoops to underprivileged children living in extreme poverty and underdeveloped neighborhoods of our world. Founded by Annie O'Keeffe, World Hoop Day is a not for profit organization that uses a community-based approach to provide durable hoops. The adult-sized hoops can be used their entire life as a simple and effective way to bring joy to an otherwise devastating situation.

There are many aid organizations who provide food and medical relief, but what about the mental welfare of a child who grows up too quickly and hardly has a reason to smile or play or just be a child? To date 1,100 hoops have been given away, and a total amount of $1,500 has been raised. The simple hoop has positive physical and mental health benefits, stimulates imaginations, and enables feelings of pure joy and bliss.
We need your help to continue this amazing project!
