Friday, August 8th, 2008: WORLD HOOP DAY at Treasure Island's Great Lawn.

The event's activities include music, games, contests, lessons, fire performances, with a Peter Pan/Treasure Island costume theme. We're also donating hoops, lessons, games and prizes to underprivileged children with hopes of getting them fit, not fat, from 1—9pm. It's happening rain or shine.

The International Holiday called World Hoop Day is a Free Public event that just happens to take place on the same day as Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony, and like the Olympics, happens in 1,000s of cities around the world, where rings, or hoops are in the spotlight.

Joining us at Treasure Island are the HoopGirl Allstars, Miss Rosie of HoolieHoop, HooppaiN, and our newly SF relocated hooper - Hoopin' Annie, founder of World Hoop Day. Yes, SF is now World Hoop Day headquarters so let's do it up proud! Donating hoops to the hundreds of former homeless youths who now reside on the previous Navy Base with amazing views of San Francisco and the Bay, we're also taking WHD up a notch from hooping for peace last year at 7am to 7pm, to truly giving and sharing the love.

At 8pm there will be a moment of silence to connect with all the hoopers around the world celebrating this enormous event in Australia, Europe, Asia, South America and the other cities of the USA. Bring hoops and potluck to share and take part in a global celebration. To contribute your time and/or financial support contact Annie at [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
