About the organizers

Royalz United × Lazard Basketball Foundation

Royalz United is a community-centered investment company built on group economics. We focus on circulating wealth with intention to build infrastructure, expand opportunity, and create lasting systems that serve the whole community.

Lazard Basketball Foundation expands access to the game through programs, tournaments, and scholarship support, grounded in youth development and community impact.

Together, we present the Juneteenth Hoopz Classic: a two-day, single-elimination showcase where culture, community, and competition meet with intention. This is more than a bracket, it’s a Juneteenth moment built on excellence, discipline, and togetherness.

What to expect: high energy, organized gameplay, clear rules, and a respectful environment for players and families.
We’re here for community, safety, and excellence from check-in to the final whistle.
