World Hoop Day is a charity that gives hula hoops to children in need. They also celebrate the circle with an international holiday every year.
On July 7, 2007 (7-7-7), hula hoopers of all ages synchronized their swivel-hips on six continents to celebrate the first World Hoop Day. As part of World Hoop Day efforts, quality hula hoops have been donated to children in Mexico, Sri Lanka, Haiti, Costa Rica and the United States. These simple little circles allow kids (and adults!) to have fun, exercise their imaginations, and keep physically fit. In upcoming efforts World Hoop Day will grow to encompass more countries, donate more hoops, and bring more people joy around the world.
