In 1995 One on One Basketball was invited by the Bosnian Children’s Fund to create a program for children of the war-torn country. The result was Hoops for Hope, a 10-day series of clinics throughout the country. In 1997, One on One Basketball coaches traveled to Bosnia to help implement the first program. Some 1500 young people participated in the first clinics, including a wheelchair clinic for participants injured in the war. An eye doctor also participated in the program by giving free eye examinations and also distributing 500 pairs of glasses. One on One Coaches returned to Bosnia the following year to offer basketball instruction and equipment to more than 1700 children.
