Harrisburg Hoopla will take place June 4 on City Island.
This summer, you can count on another annual Harrisburg event returning after a pandemic-induced hiatus.
Harrisburg Hoopla, a daylong series of fun, amateur competitions, will take place on City Island on June 4, according to the organizer, the Foundation for Enhancing Communities (TFEC).
This year, events will include both physical games and “puzzle-like” games, according to TFEC.
“The team at TFEC looks forward to Harrisburg Hoopla every year,” said Janice Black, president and CEO of TFEC. “It is a great way to get young people involved in philanthropy and support local organizations in our community.”
Harrisburg Hoopla first took to the field five years ago, offering participants a day of friendly contests, along with refreshments. The greater purpose of Harrisburg Hoopla is to introduce young people to philanthropy, according to TFEC.
People can register to participate either as free agents or as a team of six. Each team will represent a local nonprofit organization of their choice, and the team that finishes in first, second and third place will receive a portion of the event’s proceeds to donate to the charity they competed for. A portion of the event’s proceeds will also benefit the Emerging Philanthropist Fund at TFEC.
“We’re so excited to be back on City Island,” says Jenna Reitz, chair of the Harrisburg Hoopla Planning Committee. “The committee has been working really hard on planning this event, and we hope everyone will come out and join us on June 4.”
Harrisburg Hoopla also will host local food trucks and alcohol vendors. Participants must be 21 years old to compete, and registration for Harrisburg Hoopla is $50 per person. Teams and individuals that register before May 23 will receive a free T-shirt with their registration.
