The Hoops for Hunger program was designed in partnership with the Lakeland Magic and The Mosaic Company to help raise money to provide meals to local children in need. For every three-point shot made by the Magic during the 2020-21 season, $150 was donated to the Hoops for Hunger program. The program supports KidsPACK and One More Child, local non-profits aimed at decreasing food insecurity for the children of Central Florida. Throughout the 2020-21 season, Mosaic donated a total $50,100 through the Hoops for Hunger program.
The Lakeland Magic and Mosaic have renewed their commitment to the cause for the 2021-22 season and are once again raising their donation amount per three-point shot made. For every three-point shot made by the Magic at the RP Funding Center this season, $200 will go to the Hoops for Hunger program, an increase of $50 from previous seasons. The program will continue to benefit KidsPACK and One More Child.
“Fighting local hunger is one of Lakeland Magic’s main Community Pillars and we are grateful to continue to partner with Mosaic on such an important local cause,” said Hans Steinbrenner, President of the Lakeland Magic. “As we renew our Hoops for Hunger program for another season, we are so proud to raise the donation amount again. We have seen the tremendous impact the program has had on our community, and we look forward to continuing the fight against food insecurity in Central Florida.”
“At Mosaic, we proudly support food organizations and initiatives fueling the fight against hunger in the communities where we operate,” shares Sarah Fedorchuk, Vice President, Government and Public Relations – North America. “Our continued partnership with the Lakeland Magic and Hoops for Hunger has raised over $90,0000 to date.”
The 2021-22 Lakeland Magic season begins with Opening Weekend on Friday, November 5, and Saturday November 6 at the RP Funding Center. The Magic’s complete season and promotional schedule is available at lakelandmagic.com/promotions.
