My Project

My students are passionate, hardworking young athletes who show up every day with determination and team spirit. They give their all on the field, and I want to help them feel prepared, supported, and proud to represent their team.

Right now, many of our players don’t have proper bat bags to carry and protect their equipment.

Some are using old backpacks or sharing with teammates. We're hoping to provide each player with a durable, reliable bat bag — something that not only makes it easier to get to and from games but also gives them a sense of pride and unity as a team.

We're seeking donations to help us purchase 30 bat bags, which cost about $45 each. Any amount you can contribute will go directly toward making sure every player is equipped and included.

Thank you for supporting our students — your generosity makes a real difference!
