Please join the STL Hoop Club in the celebration of World Hoop Day on September 9, 2009. The STL Hoop Club has joined forces with LED Heady Hoops and will be hosting a special event at the Koken Art Factory. Part of the proceeds will be going to supply under privelaged city children with hula hoops.

Since 2006, World Hoop Day has been dedicated to bringing dance, exercise and toy hoops to under-privileged children living in extreme poverty and underdeveloped neighborhoods of our world. Founded by Annie O’Keeffe, her husband, Kevin, and friend Stefan Pildes, World Hoop Day is a not-for-profit organization that uses a community-based, grass roots approach to provide one-of-a-kind “hula” hoops.

The Fire Technicians group will also be performing throughout the night.

The Koken Art Factory is located at 2500 Ohio Avenue in South St. Louis.

Bring a hoop and come on down!
