Elevate Our Game: A New Wilson Basketball

Help me give my students a new basketball for the varsity boys basketball team.

My Project

The Constitution High School Varsity Boys' Basketball team is a dedicated group of student-athletes working hard to compete at the highest level. To ensure our practices accurately reflect game conditions and to boost our confidence on the court, we urgently need one new, official Wilson Evolution NXT game ball. Your donation will provide the crucial tool our Generals need to perfect their skills and drive toward a successful season!

My Students

The Constitution Generals are more than just a basketball team—they are leaders in our school and community. Our student-athletes are driven, competitive, and constantly pushing themselves to improve both academically and athletically. They attend early morning practices, stay late for drills, and represent our school with pride.

However, like many city schools, our athletic budget is limited. We rely on donated and well-used equipment, which means our players are often practicing and playing with balls that are worn smooth, inconsistent, and no longer meet the quality standards of high school competition.
