My Project

This project supports our hard-working and resilient student athletes. Our diverse group of students embrace the opportunity to move, compete, and work together. They thrive when challenged, and they love learning skills that help them feel confident, capable, and proud of their progress.

To support their growth, this project provides a balanced combination of skill-development training tools and essential fitness equipment designed to keep every student active and engaged.

By equipping our Warcubs with these training resources (basketballs, weighted vests, blocking guards, spot markers), this project will help every student develop skills, tactical understanding, and a lasting love for basketball and physical activity.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
