FBMS Track Team Needs Track Spikes

Help me give my students athletes some comfortable track shoes so they can compete at a middle school level.

FULLY FUNDED! Coach Jones's classroom raised $895

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am asking people to give what they can for my middle school track team. We are in need of track spikes. 99% of the students at FBMS are free and reduced lunch based on the parents average income. Most parents do not have the means to afford to buy students track spikes. Having the proper attire and equipment could change the trajectory of the student athletes lives. Many of the students do not have the means to buy their own shoes/equipment so they need generous folks to help them. With the right guidance, encouragement, and dedication these student can become potential Olympic contestants.
