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

By sponsoring this initiative, you’ll play a pivotal role in building unity and supporting the community through the use of soccer- a universal & beautiful language understood by all. The specific supplies we are requesting will provide our students with the safety, equipment, and opportunities they need to succeed both on and off the field.

These supplies will directly contribute to their learning experience, ensuring they are equipped to reach their full potential.

Our goal is not only to provide the necessary gear to keep them safe, but also to offer them the tools they need to grow as athletes and individuals. These students are particularly special, driven by their deep love for the game and a competitive spirit that has led them to win the championship for seven consecutive years.

Your support will allow them to continue this legacy of excellence, while fostering a sense of unity and pride that will carry them far beyond the soccer field. Through your sponsorship, you will help us provide more opportunities for these talented young athletes to thrive, and together, we can make a lasting impact on both their athletic and personal development.
