With its inaugural game set for July 9, 2024. The Hoops for Youth Foundation is proud to be sponsoring the first Women’s Congressional Game, a charity game benefiting the Kay Yow Foundation’s fight against Breast Cancer. Sandra Kay Yow was a pioneer in women's basketball who fought breast cancer while dedicating herself to women’s basketball. We are excited to have the Kay Yow Foundation as part of the team this year and honor Coach Yow’s legacy.
