My Project

We are requesting badminton racquets and a cart to keep them nice, also some shuttlecocks to get them started! Our students absolutely love badminton. But our equipment is old and mostly broken.

When our students play badminton they learn striking skills, sportsmanship, empathy, and just have a ton of fun with their classmates.

The cart will make it so much easier to keep the racquets in good condition.

Our students are cheerful, active teenagers, mostly from low- income, inner- city families.

They deserve to learn with new beautiful sports equipment - not the same old broken stuff we've had for years.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
