Jiminy Wicket trains and equips high-school and college students to host our Through Hoops to Hope croquet program as an outing every two weeks for the residents of a local senior community. We believe that playing together creates connection and well-being across the generations.
In 2008, on a summer vacation by the coast in Cornwall, England, James Creasey discovered new connections with his father in the silence and confusion of his dementia. Playing together, they both smiled.
James returned home to Denver, Colorado, and founded Jiminy Wicket. Since then, we have played croquet with people from 107 different countries, from 2 to 101 years old. They all go home with a pocketful of smiles!
