Synergy Production Group Announces Hoops of Hope All-Stars Tour, the World's Largest Free Throw Festival, to Raise Money for AIDS Orphans in Africa

"After meeting Austin and hearing his story, we knew immediately we would join the cause. He is truly inspirational. Our entire team has been moved to action to help Austin take this to a new level," said Carl Taylor, CEO of Franklin, Tennessee based Synergy Production Group, producer of the events. "Hoops of Hope has raised more than $1.5 million to date in its six-year existence. We want to quadruple that amount in the next 12 months by combining our production strength with Austin's passion to help others," Taylor said. One hundred percent of funds raised by free throw shooting go directly to projects across twelve African communities.
