Help me give my students the necessary equipment to help them succeed in their basketball journey

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

What I love most about my students is their passion, resilience, and willingness to grow both on and off the court. Many of them come from underserved communities and face challenges that extend beyond the classroom or gym, yet they show up every day eager to learn, improve, and support one another. Their commitment to teamwork, discipline, and personal development is truly inspiring.

Each resource we receive whether it’s basketballs, uniforms, shoes, or training equipment plays a critical role in helping them succeed.

Proper gear allows them to practice safely and with confidence. Uniforms give them a sense of pride and unity as part of a team. Access to quality equipment ensures that every student, regardless of background, has a fair chance to build their skills, stay physically active, and gain valuable life lessons through sport.
