My Students

Our students attend school in West Baltimore, which currently has one of the highest crime rates in America. Our students are in need of positive opportunities to build their mind and body.

Many of our students have fallen in love with the process of personal fitness which helps them release energy, build confidence, and improve their health.

Over the past 3 years, our school began a sports program to provide additional positive opportunities to our students. With your help, we can provide more equipment to better suit our growing student population.

My Project

Your donations will help provide the necessary equipment for my students to continue their quest towards physical fitness through the utilization of this fitness equipment. It will also provide the necessary practice gear for our high school football team.

In fitness, data collection helps our students understand the process of physical fitness.

They learned that health and wellness is a lifetime commitment through the study of our data.

Please help our students take our fitness center to the next level! Our student-athletes rave about our opponents' fitness centers all the time, we would love to be able to provide the same experience.
