Help me give my students a gaming console and accessories so we can have an E-Sports team to provide them with pathways to scholarships, college programs, and careers in technology and gaming.

My Project
Our e-sports team is more than just a group of students who love gaming; it's a community where young minds develop critical skills such as teamwork, strategic thinking, and problem-solving. Through competitive gaming, our students learn valuable lessons in leadership, communication, and perseverance.
However, to truly thrive and compete at a high level, our team needs your support.
High-quality gaming gear is essential for our students to practice and compete effectively, yet we have been relying on students to bring their own equipment . This is not practical or safe. Can you imagine asking a football player to bring their own football or goalposts to a game? Students should not have to carry a $300 gaming system to and from the school on public transportation. Your contribution will make sure we have a system at school and ensure our team stays competitive.
By supporting our e-sports team, you're also promoting school spirit and a sense of community. Your generosity will help us create a positive and inclusive environment where students can thrive both academically and socially.
E-sports is a rapidly growing industry with numerous career opportunities. Supporting our team can help open doors for our students, providing them with pathways to scholarships, college programs, and careers in technology and gaming.
I believe in the potential of our students and the positive impact that e-sports can have on their lives. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in our ability to provide these opportunities and help our team reach new heights.
Thank you for considering this request. My team and I would be honored to have your support and partnership in fostering the growth and success of our high school e-sports team.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
