"These items will help my students prepare for the upcoming soccer season. It will also give them the opportunity to meet students of different races, and ethnic backgrounds through the game of soccer. My students are at a school in Detroit .There are no supplies for school or sports. I am trying to introduce a sport to that is not the norm. Usually in the inner city kids grow up playing basketball, and football. I have been able to get my students interested in soccer which gives them the opportunity to leave the city and meet people outside of their neighborhood. To help my team grow I need soccer equipment. My team needs to be able to train and feel as though they are a real soccer team with uniforms and equipment. By helping you will be making it possible for my students to learn more about the world and the people who live in it through the game of soccer.
My students need 2 soccer goals, 1 set of indoor soccer balls, 1 set of outdoor soccer balls, 1 set of orange cones, a first aid kit, and five basketball my team can use in for gym class.
The cost of this proposal is $723, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment ."

"I played a ton of sports when I was your age(I still do at 48.) Do your best at sports, really try, and you'll be more confident about everything else in life. It's true!, but there are no shortcuts. You have to do the hard stuff, and then everything else will seem a lot easier"

"I gave to this project because Michigan is one of the states hit hard by the economy. the loss of jobs by the Big 3, housing market, and the highest unemployed rate. Our state has faced cuts, and the first place the senate looks is education.
Good luck Mrs. C's class, and God Bless!"
