A Game With Heart.
A Day With Purpose.
Hoops and Hearts for MJ is an annual basketball tournament honouring Mantej Singh Minhas, a passionate foodie, loving husband, son, brother, uncle, and devoted friend whose sudden passing from heart disease reminded us how precious every game and every heartbeat truly is.
The day features keynote speakers on preventative heart health, a full bracket tournament, lunch, prizes, and a closing ceremony. Every ticket, every donation, every assist fuels local charitable work and heart health awareness in the South Asian community.
