Reiley Hoopman Memorial Scholarship

The MN SE Stars were the proud recipients of the Reiley Hoopman Memorial Scholarship. Many athletes in our program were able to play this season due to this generous donation from Reiley’s family, and InSports Foundation. This scholarship comes from a memorial that this young man’s family created in honor of this special student, and determined and gifted athlete, Reiley Hoopman (#44). Reiley loved sports, and excelled in many, one of which was basketball. Reiley’s family determined that our organization and our kids were wonderful matches to their goal of gifting students the option of playing whatever sport they wish. We were so honored to receive an important gift like this from this amazing family. Their donation helps many of our gifted athletes that otherwise wouldn’t be able to play due to their financial situations.

Each month, The InSports Foundation awards a student athlete with scholarship as a part of our program to provide financial assistance to young athletes to help cover the funds of participation, traveling equipment, and more. In honor and memory of athlete, Reiley Hoopman, our foundation will be  awarding the Reiley Hoopman Memorial Scholarship to a young athlete in January of 2021.
