Hoop it Forward

Who We Are:

Hoop it Forward was started in 2007 with one goal in mind: To give away hula hoops and spread the joy of hula hooping. The concept of Hoop it Forward is similar to "pay it forward", except we give hoops out to people.

The inspiration for our organization was seeing the joy on the faces of new hoopers after convincing them that they CAN indeed hula hoop! Think you cant hoop? Think again! Many people think they can't hula hoop because they have tried with the store bought hoops which are too small. So, we started making bigger hoops for new hoopers and giving them away. We found that this inspires new hoopers who are then inspired to get others hooping, etc…

Hoop It Forward has given away over two thousand hoops in the past 2 years.! We always appreciate donations. This includes tubing, connectors and tape.

How YOU can Hoop it Forward:
1. Get Inspired: Come to one of our events, learn that YOU can indeed hoop and go home with a new hula hoop.
2. Inspire others to hula hoop and bring them to one of our events. They will go home with a new hula hoop.
3. Donate your time or money. 100% of your donations go to hoop supplies. Donate your time by coming to one of our events (we are located in Colorado) and help decorate hoops for future hoopers.
4. Learn to make your own hula hoops and give them away to others. THIS is the full circle of Hoop it Forward.

Join us at World Hoop Day for a Saturday afternoon you don't want to miss! We will be giving away 200 hoops this year, so make sure to bring some new hoopers so they can decorate their own and take one home. We have a fantastic lineup of DJs in the works for your hoop shakin' pleasure. The more hoopers we have the better, so call up your friends and spread the word, or download the flyer and distribute. If you haven't been to City Park before, know that it can be a maze to drive through. We highly recommend that you check out the map:


Please note that the official World Hoop Day is on 09/09/09, but we wanted to create a hooping event that is more accessible to everyone who works. Check out our World Hoop Day Video From 2008.


HULAPALOOZA : Thursdays at Washington Park Cynthia mentioned that this might be an ongoing weekly event, so check into our events section to find out their weekly theme. Sounds like FUN!



Happy hooping to you all and THANK YOU for hooping it forward!
