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

The bats will help to improve our physical education and athletic program. We have a brand new athletic field that we want the students to benefit from. The equipment will help 100s of students over the years. The bats will help the kids learn how to hit with proper form and technique. These bats will encourage the students to stay enjoying the game of baseball that they can continue to play for a lifetime. Many of the students come from low income families and they are unable to afford to buy their own sports equipment. The bats will last for years to come and will be a stepping stone for life long physical activity. Thank you very much for your help in making a difference!
