Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The baseballs being purchased will go a long way in helping us to prepare for our upcoming season. When I was hired this summer I was given the task of changing the culture of a team that finished 3-19 last season. I arrived on campus to find players who are more than eager to learn and put in the work to get better each day. These boys are showing me daily that they are worth me fighting for.

Our program is in urgent need of new baseballs to prepare for the upcoming season.

When I was hired, the team’s account held less than two dollars, leaving us without the basic equipment required for effective practices. Quality baseballs are essential for developing fundamental skills, running safe and efficient drills, and building player confidence. With our limited budget, replacing worn-out baseballs has been challenging, yet it directly impacts our athletes’ ability to train and compete. New baseballs would significantly improve the quality of our practices and help set the foundation for a successful season.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
