My Project

I am asking for help to be able to get a few sets of Pickleball paddles and balls for my students for the upcoming semester. This is a growing sport around the world, and I want to be able to offer my students the opportunity to learn this sport. Hopefully this will help them carry that knowledge and skill not only in their stages of life now, but also for future stages in order to stay active. This is a great sport you can play at all stages of life in order to be active and grow connections with other people.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
