Here at ARS/Rescue Rooter, we are gearing up for another year of the ARS/Rescue Rooter Hoopfest events! We are so excited about this sponsorship, because we are all sports enthusiasts, and we also have a mission to give back to the community. This game is a platform to help young athletes showcase their talents!
The ARS/Rescue Rooter National Hoopfest was established in 2011 by Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway and Travis Haddock. The events are held currently in Memphis, Dallas, and Tampa. The 2014, 2015 and 2016 events were televised on ESPN2! The 2015 game featuring Oak Hill Academy vs. Hamilton High School (Memphis, TN) was ESPN’s highest rated high school game of the year, reaching almost 6 Million viewers, and Hoopfest tournaments are always regarded as one of the nation’s top national high school basketball events by MaxPreps and ESPN.
The ARS/Conway Services Showcase was a preliminary event on December 1, 2016 in Memphis, TN, and it was a huge success! We even gave away a HVAC unit to Melony Walker, a deserving member of that community! To see our interview about the event with Penny, click here. The ARS/Rescue Rooter Hoopfest continues to draw the best national and local high school talent as it have has over one hundred Division 1 scholarship athletes that participate in the event, including five NBA lottery picks. Here at ARS, we continue to foster that growth and use it as a platform to be involved in the community!
Make sure you get to one of the events if you are in the Memphis, Dallas or Tampa area! For more details, visit nationalhoopfest.com . And don’t be surprised if you see someone throwing one of our cool ARS/Rescue Rooter National Hoopfest basketball giveaways around!
