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

Our basketball team is full of passionate and hardworking student-athletes, but we lack the necessary equipment to help them train and compete at their best. We need training gear to ensure our players have what they need to develop their skills, build teamwork, and stay motivated. With your support, we can provide a well-equipped, professional experience that fosters discipline, sportsmanship, and confidence. These supplies will help our team thrive on and off the court. Thank you for investing in our athletes and their future success for our middle school teams!
