2nd Annual "Hoops and Dreams" Event

115 children in Charlotte went home to a brand new bed on Saturday. Ashley HomeStore and the Charlotte Hornets partnered with Charlotte non-profit Beds for Kids for the Second Annual "Hoops and Dreams" event.

The children received a special VIP tour of Time Warner Cable Arena, a basketball clinic with trainers and a dance clinic with the Honey Bees. While the children were at the arena, Beds for Kids and several volunteers delivered new beds, donated by Ashley HomeStore, to surprise the children when they returned home. Each bed was topped with a teddy bear.
