East End residents Caroline Cashin and Dan Farnham recently participated in the Cape Epic mountain bike race in South Africa. While there, they had the good fortune of witnessing the good work being done by Hoops 4 Hope and were moved to raise funds for the worthy organization.  Local resident Mark Crandall founded Hoops 4 Hope in 1995 and continues its mission of making a difference for thousands of youth.  Please give as generously as you can.
