Fresh from her success raising funds for cancer in a pageant, (see previous story) nine year old Mahrin McGregor is on a mission to raise the most money she can over the next year.

Her current project reflects her love of basketball: a Hoopathon. She's going to make as many baskets as she can in 90 minutes on the evening of Black Friday, November 29, 2013.

She is fundraising door to door in her neighborhood, asking for pledges or donations.

Her mother Laurra McGregory says, "She believes she can make 700 baskets in that time frame. One neighbor pledged $1 a basket, and she let him know that if she does hit her goal, he can renegotiate. :)" 

She has an entire year to fundraise, and this may be the first of a few Hoopathons. We'll keep you posted.
