My Project

The primary objective of this grant is to provide access to a classroom set of lacrosse equipment for underserved youth in our community. By removing financial barriers, we aim to increase participation in lacrosse among children who might not otherwise have the opportunity to engage in the sport. Our goal is to promote physical activity, healthy competition, and character development among young athletes. We will prioritize purchasing equipment from reputable manufacturers known for their durability and performance, ensuring that the sticks will last for multiple years of competitive play. Furthermore, participation in sports has been linked to improved academic performance, mental health, and overall well-being. The impact of this grant extends beyond simply providing equipment. By giving young athletes access to lacrosse sticks, we are empowering them to develop important life skills such as teamwork, communication, and resilience.

By investing in lacrosse equipment, we are investing in the future success and happiness of our community's youth.

This includes the cost of purchasing lacrosse sticks, as well as any associated taxes, shipping fees, and administrative expenses.
