Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

What I love most about our students and players is their dedication to their craft. Many have them were kicking soccer balls before they could barely walk and have increased their skills every year to help bring championships to our school. Dirt field, oversized goals, and hot blazing sun is the battle ground our players prepare on. Help us compete with the best by donating to these amazing players and amazing kids! We teach them to compete for each other and cheer each other on whether they are the one who scored the game winning goal or for the one who finally scored their first goal after trying for three seasons straight. Its all about creating an atmosphere of love and appreciation for each other and the game they love so much!
