World Hoop Day took place August 8, 2008.  While we missed it this year, we will be prepared for next!   So, what did we miss exactly?  When you say hoop, how do you mean?  All of your questions have answers.  World Hoop Day is a non-profit organization that provides hula hoops to under privileged kids in areas of devastation. Instead of providing food like many other orgainziation, founder, Annie O’Keeffe concentrates on providing mental benefits that are both fun & provide exercise.

Founded in 2007, 10,000 hoops have been donated and $7,145 in money and hoop related gifts.  Check out their website and see how you can help “Hoop for Peace.”
