Never Lose Hoop Grants

The Never Lose Hoop Fund, established by JC and Joni Hulls, provides grants to support families affected by cancer. The fund aims to enhance the quality of life for children and their families through shared experiences, such as family camps and outdoor activities. Grants are available for those currently battling cancer or who have lost an immediate family member to cancer within the last two years. This initiative helps families create lasting memories and find joy during difficult times.

NOTE: Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis.
Background
The Never Lose Hoop Fund was established by JC and Joni Hulls to support children affected by cancer, specifically by providing grants for shared family experiences that will give the children and their families improved quality of life and happiness.
After the Hulls’ personal experience with cancer, they realized the value of taking time for fun as a family to lift their spirits. They established this fund to help other families battling cancer enjoy quality time together. Whether it’s attending a family camp, taking a hot air balloon ride, or simply canoeing at Lake Monroe, the Never Lose Hoop fund will help provide rest, renewal, and enjoyment for families affected by cancer.
The grants are for families dealing with a current cancer diagnosis or treatment, or those who have experienced the death of an immediate family member to cancer within the last two years.
Grants may be used to cover expenses related to the family experience.
Examples may include:

• transportation costs,meals, registration or ticketing costs, or lodging.

Eligibility

Applications for the grant must be submitted by a referral organization, such as a social service agency, religious organization, educational facility, public assistance organization, or other nonprofit serving children.
