My Project

We are a school that hosts more than 180 students. Our school is currently housed in a small building that used to be an early childhood center, but now has students going up to the 8th grade.

Our scholars are engaged academically but are looking for support with indoor activities.

We currently do not have a gym and are gearing up for basketball season to complete with other schools. We have been trying to practice, but don't have basketball equipment, not even a hoop. We would love to set up a portable hoop and other equipment to help our scholars practice in the cafeteria. Any help and support would be greatly appreciated!
