My Project

Dear Donors

I'm reaching out on behalf of my school with an exciting opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of students who often don’t get to fully engage in typical extracurricular activities.

We’re launching a Gaming & Esports Club designed specifically for students with IEPs.

Our goal is to create a safe, inclusive space where these students can come together to explore their interests in gaming, build social connections, strengthen communication skills, and develop confidence. Students will also participate in friendly competitions where they can win small prizes. This club will not only offer a fun and welcoming environment, but it will also provide an opportunity for meaningful peer interaction and discussion around teamwork, strategy, and creativity.

We believe that gaming is more than play — it’s a path to connection, creativity, and confidence. With your help, we can give our IEP students the chance to thrive through shared experiences and shared passions.
