    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,  and partnering with her husband, Kevin, 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 10,000 hoops have been given away, and total amounts of $2,030 US, and $5,500 in hoops and hoop-related gifts, have been raised.  The simple hoop has positive physical and mental health benefits, stimulates imaginations, and enables feelings of pure joy and bliss.
