Hoops for Heroes Makes 5000
Foul Shots in Under 4-Hours
On
On February 24, Dave Cummings of Epsom, NH continued his efforts to make 1 million foul shots
over the next two years by spending the day at the Waterville Valley Recreation Department. Dave
began on Veterans Day 2009 and plans to finish on Veterans Day 2011. He managed to make a
mind numbing total of five-thousand (5000) foul shots in just under four hours in his visit to the
valley.
Dave dedicated his days efforts to the Decoteau family in memory of their son, Army SPC. Marc
Paul Decoteau. His efforts are to benefit the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, a nonprofit that supports
severely wounded military personnel.
A total of 17 rebounders cycled through to include several members from WVDPS. With all the
supoport, Dave was able to maintain a pace of nearly 1200 fouls shots per hour! During that time he
totaled over 150,000 foul shots made since he started.
If you are interested in donating or would like to read more about Dave’s day here at the valley,

Way to go Dave!
