Hoist the Hoops is a Saskatoon initiative spearheaded by Michael Linklater, Marcus Storey and Michael Donauer who saw the need for an outdoor basketball facility to serve as both a sports opportunity and a way to bring community together in Saskatoon’s core neighbourhood.

City Council approved the original concept plan that was presented and agreed to provide other supports to the initiative. Since then, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities has joined the effort with an updated design that would include: a full-size International Basketball Federation (FIBA) basketball court, two regulation 3-on-3 courts, lights, a shade shelter, and multiple basketball standards with backboards, rims and nets.

We would love your support bringing this incredible project to life!

Your thoughtful donation will support the construction of our world-class basketball court in downtown Saskatoon and provide kids with a top-notch place to get active and build skills, confidence and friendship.

You’ll also be part of a lasting legacy of reconciliation in our city and fostering community connection through sport.

Every contribution is appreciated and helps to provide the best possible facilities for our kids now and for years to come.
