Gloves Up: Building Strength, Confidence, and Discipline Through Boxing
Help me give my students boxing gloves, essential for safety and skill-building—protecting hands and partners during training. They allow students to practice confidently, reducing injury while building strength, discipline, and a positive outlet for their energy.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Cameron's classroom raised $834

Celebrating 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
I work with amazing students in a financially challenged inner-city neighborhood, where opportunities for safe, structured activities are limited. Many face difficult home lives and lack access to positive outlets for their energy, emotion, and growth.
We're requesting boxing gloves to introduce a boxing and fitness program that promotes discipline, self-respect, and physical wellness.
Gloves are essential for safe training, protecting both the student and their peers while they learn techniques, build strength, and develop confidence. This program will keep students engaged, active, and focused—empowering them with healthy habits and a sense of purpose.
With your support, we can help them fight for their futures—one round at a time.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
