Hoops of Hope

One of the great stories that came out of the coverage of the NCAA Men's Final Four was a feature that CBS did on a young man named Austin, who after watching a video about children in Africa who were orphaned because of the scurge of AIDS, decided to make a difference.

On World AIDS Day, 2004, Austin shot 2,057 free throws to represent the 2,057 kids who would be orphaned that day and every day. He got a few sponsors and raised a few thousand dollars but the story is still being told.

Take a few minutes to watch the video below.
