Basketball Supplies

Help me give my students a StepNGrip Traction Board that we will use for this upcoming basketball season. Also, the Muscle Milk and protein bars will help us give them something healthy to eat after workouts.

My Project

THS has some of the best students in the East Baton Rouge Parish School District, but most of our students come from poverty-stricken homes and these donations would help them tremendously. As the basketball coach, I've observed that our student athletes would heavily benefit from protein bars, muscle milk, a laundry basket, and a basketball traction board. The muscle milk and protein bars will provide a nutritious balance needed for post workouts and lifting. The laundry basket would allow us to help our athletes maintain clean workout gear and uniforms at the school. The traction board will assist our students with a better grip on the bottom of their shoes and decrease the chances of sliding or injuries on the court. Any donation amount would be appreciated and will contribute to the growth of this school organization. Thank you!
