Washington State Hoop Festival (W-State) is the first basketball orientated community festival dedicated to bringing our families together for a joint cause. Our mission focuses on disassembling racial disparities in our community through true fatherhood, sports, music, and small business vending. 
The first annual event features an all ages 3 on 3 basketball tournament, live music, side games, prizes and food. 
W-State Hoop Festival will bring all of western Washington together for a weekend of fun, sun and live entertainment!

Our mission for this event is to bring awareness and action to the issues that disrupt our families and destroy our communities in Washington. With community advocates, mentors, and voters rights activists to guide, our goal is to encourage fathers to be truly present in their children's lives through successful communication, reconnection with the outdoors, sports, community, social and political discussions, and personal spirituality. This festival specifically and directly connects with Fathers from families of all backgrounds all over Washington. Our first annual festival (Fall 2023, TBD) will be hosted in Bellingham Washington, also giving our neighbors in Canada a chance to participate! We are incredibly excited to see the lovely faces of our community, and we welcome all to participate Thank you all for the continued support and sponsorship!
100% of proceeds will go to Fatherhood The Foundation.
