My middle school is a New York City Department of Education school located in the Bronx, New York, where there are the most at-risk teens to violence, drugs, and gangs. I started working with the team to help motivate teens to take part in positive extracurricular activities. With track and field being so popular in the school, uniforms are the hardest things to come by. Student-athletes do not have uniforms. The team doesn’t have warm-up uniforms. With a majority of the student body coming from economically disadvantaged households, having athletes purchase their own uniforms is not a realistic option and the track team budget is minuscule. Therefore, I write to you today in the hopes that your company can assist us with a donation of uniforms. We need running shirts, and short.
