Hoop-A-Paluza (HAPI) is a charity, a fundraiser and a big party all rolled into one. We hold an annual carnival each year. People register for the event online.  Before the event, participants obtain pledges from donors who "sponsor" them to shoot 20 free throws. At the event, participants shoot their baskets to raise money for worthy children’s causes, after which they and their families enjoy rides, free refreshments, entertainment and fun contests.  All proceeds benefit a select group of children's charities each year – and participants and their families enjoy a fun-filled carnival-style event free of charge.

With an all-volunteer organization since its founding in 2002, HAPI has raised more than $1,500,000 to aid children’s causes in New Jersey.  For more information please contact HAPI at ezimmerman@lowenstein.com.
