Help me give my students the equipment they need for a successful season.
FULLY FUNDED! Coach Cain's classroom raised $570
This project is fully funded
My Project
Each season I get student athletes that want to learn or continue playing tennis. However, many of them can not afford a decent. The ones we currently have are starting to really show the wear of use from multiple seasons of use.
It would be great to be able to offer athletes a new racket that they can trust to get them through the season.
These students work hard and play hard. Many students come to me saying they would like to play, but they do not have or can't afford a racket.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
