My Project

Please help us embark on a creative adventure with out softball team as we stribe to make a statement on the field. By donating a Cricut machine, you can empower us to design and craft individualized jerseys, unique gear, and unified apparel that reflect our team's identity and spirit. Your support will not ony enhance our visual presence but also boost our team morale and unity. With personalized jerseys, we can showcase our passion for the game and stand out among competitors.

Join us in this exciting journey of self-expression and team pride, making every game a memorable experience.

The softball team doesn't get as much attention as other sports here in Chicago; my dedicated athletes deserve the same athletic experience as our basketball and football athetes.
