Teams are asked to get friends, family and others to sponsor them during that hour as they shoot for missions.
The goal is to send $10,000 to Africa to help build 5 churches, and an additional $10,000 will be sent to Boys and Girls Missionary Challenge to help in reaching the unreached people groups around the globe.
Prizes such as 6 Flags Season Passes, Cardinal Dollars, Grizzly Tickets, and much more will be available for the team who makes the most free throws and the team who brings in the most money for missions that day.
