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 our student-athletes is their hearts. They show up every day ready to work hard, push themselves, and support each other, whether they’re running drills on the field or studying for a math test after practice. They’re resilient, dedicated, and full of potential.

But growing minds and bodies need more than just encouragement; they need the right nutrition to stay focused, energized, and healthy.

That’s where you come in.

These aren’t just snacks; they’re fuel for our kids to learn better, train harder, and grow stronger.

Every donation you make directly impacts their ability to thrive, both on the field and in the classroom. Your support tells our students, “We believe in you," and that belief goes a long way.

Thank you for being part of their journey!
