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 students at my school LOVE Basketball. We have both a boys and a girls team. However I have noticed recently that they are lacking some necessary materials in order to help them progress.

By choosing to donate to this project you will be providing the necessary equipment these students need in order to improve upon their basketball skills.

These students love the game and show up to practice everyday with enthusiasm, a great attitude and sportsmanship. Some students come to practice hungry, while others need a traveling water bottle to ensure they stay properly hydrated. Among other things basketballs are hard to find at our school.

Any and every donation made would be used with such love and care!

Thank you for donating to our Basketball Teams!
