FNG Supports Hoops of Hope

May 10th, 2010

Along with thousands of other participants, the Fake Name Generator has made a commitment to support a Hoops of Hope event, a free throw shooting marathon. We are doing this to help children who have been orphaned by HIV and AIDS. Over the past five years, Hoops of Hope participants have raised over 1 million dollars. The money raised by participants has gone to sponsor over 100 orphans, fund a water project in Kenya and build a high school and two medical clinics in Zambia.

Across the world over 5,700 children every day are losing one or both parents to HIV and AIDS. We can’t possibly help them all, but if each of us helps a little, we can make a big difference!

The Affinity4 Hoops of Hope event will take place on Thursday, June 3 at their office in downtown Norfolk, VA.

The Fake Name Generator has donated $20 to this cause. How much will you donate? Donating is simple, secure, and tax deductible. If you would like more information about Hoops of Hope and current projects or would also like to join the free throw shooting marathon, you can visit the Hoops of Hope website at www.hoopsofhope.org.

March 23rd, 2010

We’ve had several visitors ask if they can order 10,000,000 names and have them delivered over the internet instead of on a DVD. We think this is a great idea, so we’ve modified our bulk order form to allow you to order 10,000,000 names and download them when they are ready instead of waiting for a DVD in the mail.
