Picks are now closed! Click here to view current standings.


What is Hoops for Hope?

Hoops for Hope is a March Madness bracket tournament for a great cause. What started as a small office pool has grown into a tournament that includes hundreds of the firm’s closest friends! This year, we’re celebrating the fundraiser’s 35th anniversary and all entry donations will support our 2023 Charity of Choice: Missouri Veterans Endeavor (MOVE-STL).

Chris Schroeder, a wealth advisor with Anders affiliate company Claris Advisors, is an active volunteer and nominated the organization for our 2023 Charity of Choice. MOVE-STL is a community for Veterans experiencing homelessness along with their families. The organization provides a secure and sober environment that allows Veterans to live among their peers while also having access to on-site counseling services, which are available 24/7. By empowering Veterans to rediscover a sense of purpose and optimism, MOVE-STL helps them to achieve their goal of living independently.
