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

At WWHS, our boys’ soccer team is made up of talented, hardworking student-athletes who give their all both in the classroom and on the field. Many of these young athletes come from a low-income community, but despite their challenges, they are passionate, dedicated, and determined to succeed. With your support, we aim to equip them with the essential training gear and resources that will not only help them excel in soccer but also foster crucial life skills that will serve them far beyond the field.

The specific items we are requesting—such as soccer bibs, cones, practice gear, and hydration supplies—are critical to building the technical and tactical skills our athletes need to compete at a high level.

Proper equipment ensures our players can train effectively, with enough gear for everyone to participate in drills without limitation. With reliable gear, we can focus on building teamwork, discipline, and strategic thinking—skills that also translate into academic and personal success.

Our primary goal is to create an environment where our student-athletes can thrive both physically and mentally. By providing the right equipment, we will be able to push our players to reach their full potential, helping them develop not just as athletes, but as leaders and contributors to the community. We aim to compete at a high level this season and build a strong foundation for the future of our soccer program.

Supporting this project means supporting a group of young people who are determined to rise above their challenges and become leaders in their school and community. With your help, we can give them the tools they need to succeed both on and off the field.
