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

This request is for much-needed ab/core workout equipment (a few of the many things needed) to allow the weightlifting team from our site the opportunity to work on full body fitness through fun new challenging exercises! These plank boards will be placed in our school's fitness center, for all of our athletic programs to use, but its main use will be for the weightlifting team.

These items are more than just a simple donation, they are an opportunity that these students need and deserve to have a worthwhile high school experience!

Your donation will help make a huge difference in our program, so let's show these boys and girls that there are still good people out there who care about giving back.

These are wonderful students who simply want to better themselves, not only in the classroom, but also at the athletic level! Not only do they run/work out, but they also train hard to accomplish much, much more!

They continue to push themselves, all while having fun, laughing with friends, and much, much more!

What originally began as a simple small group has grown and expanded into a team of students that I could never have imagined being in charge of.

They are an extremely great bunch of kids and deserve every opportunity that life has to offer—that is why I'm here advocating for their needs.
