Thank you to the partners, supporters, participants and volunteers who made Hoopfest 2017 a success. Together, we raised $25,000, which will help athletes with disabilities across the province participate in wheelchair basketball. 

The evening's festivities saw teams from YVR, Burnaby Firefighters, Surrey Fire Fighters Charitable Society, viaSport, Invacare, Vancouver Police Department, and Steamworks battling it out on the wheelchair basketball court, coached by elite wheelchair basketball athletes. In the end, the final came down to the Burnaby Firefighters against the Surrey Firefighters. The Surrey Firefighters were crowned this year's champions.
