Our father, Jay Katz, loved to play hoops. Whether it was his JCC league, a pick up game in the park, or H-O-R-S-E in our driveway, he was always game.  For our dad, basketball incorporated the things that filled his life with passion - breaking a sweat, supporting others, and having fun.


In 2012, we lost our father to heart disease. We founded Jay's Way to honor him by giving back in ways we knew he would have found meaningful. In 2018, in partnership with Up2Us Sports and IndoorHoops -- two incredible local non-profits -- we held our first event, Hoop from the Heart,  a 3 on 3 basketball tournament.  100% of the proceeds went to Up2Us Sports.


Now, it's time to run it back.  On May 2nd, we are hosting our second 3 on 3 tournament, Hoop from the Heart 2020.  We hope this event will be even bigger and better than the first and cannot wait to see you at tip-off!
