Help me give my students these footballs so they can play and learn valuable lessons on and off the field.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Boylan's classroom raised $870

My Project
Think back to your High School Days. What do you remember? For most it is the fun stuff. Classes like music, art, or theater. Friday night under the lights either playing or watching a football game.
Its a documented fact that students that participate in High School sport like football do better in and out of school.
This is where I need your help. You can't play a game without a ball. These footballs will help get them on the field. Being on the football team gives many of our students a sense of purpose. Attendance and grades are better. They learn many life lessons that they will carry beyond the field and High School. Please help give our students the opportunity.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
