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

As we eagerly prepare for the upcoming spring baseball season, our team is reaching out to you with a special request for your support. We are in dire need of high-quality helmets to ensure the safety of our dedicated players on the field. The addition of these helmets will not only enhance the protection of our athletes but also instill a sense of confidence as they strive for excellence in every game. Building on the inspiring tradition of the Ohio State football team, we aim to adorn each helmet with personalized decals to celebrate the hard work and dedication demonstrated by our players during practices and games. Your contribution to our Donors Choose campaign will play a vital role in providing our team with the essential safety gear they deserve while creating a lasting symbol of teamwork and commitment.

Furthermore, we recognize the importance of hydration in maintaining peak performance on the field.

Many of our players currently lack water bottles, making it challenging for them to stay properly hydrated during practices and games. We are expanding our campaign to also include the provision of water bottles for our team members. It is essential for the well-being of our players that they have access to individual water bottles, promoting both health and safety. Your generous donation will not only equip our team with the necessary protective gear but also ensure they have the resources they need for optimal performance. Thank you for considering our cause and helping us create a successful and safe spring season for our dedicated players.
