SportsHopes teamed-up with another local nonprofit, Holy Names University’s Upward Bound program, at recent Oakland Raider games to fundraise. SportsHopes assists high school and community college student-athletes to move forward to four-year colleges. Upward Bound is a U.S. Dept. of Education college prep pathway program.
