Celebrate Mother’s Day with a meaningful and memorable experience designed to honor, connect, and create lasting memories between moms and their children.

At 5-Eleven Hoops, we recognize the incredible dedication, patience, and love that mothers of children with autism provide each and every day. Their role often extends far beyond what is seen—advocating, supporting, guiding, and showing up in ways that require constant strength and compassion. This event is intentionally designed to create space for those mothers to feel appreciated, supported, and celebrated.

Moments with Mom is a thoughtfully curated experience that allows children to express their appreciation through hands-on activities, while also giving mothers the opportunity to slow down, connect with one another, and enjoy a moment for themselves.

A warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment where families can engage in structured yet flexible activities designed to foster connection, creativity, and joy.

Mothers will have the opportunity to be in community with one another—sharing experiences, engaging in meaningful conversation, and building connections with others who understand their journey.

What to Expect: 

A warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment where families can engage in structured yet flexible activities designed to foster connection, creativity, and joy.

Mothers will have the opportunity to be in community with one another—sharing experiences, engaging in meaningful conversation, and building connections with others who understand their journey.
