Additional Alumni Opportunities

Rebounders

Too old to compete and too young to serve on the BackBoard?! Rebounders offer Hoop Shoot alumni the opportunity to stay involved by serving at their Lodge, District, State and Regional contests. For more information, please contact us at hoopshoot@elks.org.

Jacobi Lafferty, a 2017 Hoop Shoot National Champion and 2023 Legacy Awards scholar, volunteered at the Vermont State Contest as a Rebounder. Read Jacobi's blog, "Sometimes You Miss Your First Shot," on the Elks National Foundation Blog.

Contact the Hoop Shoot office at hoopshootd@elks.org if you have any questions or would like further information.
