Help me give my students new basketball equipment. we have been using basketballs that are probably close to 15 years old. Most are too slippery to use as there is absolutely no grip left on them.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Hello Donors,

I am trying to replace some much needed basketball equipment for our physical education classes.

We also have a total of four after school basketball teams as we are a sixth grade through twelfth grade school. Recently, our varsity basketball team has been promoted to the New York City PSAL Quadruple A division after winning 3 back to back to back Bronx borough championships. We are fortunate enough to have some very skilled athletes in our school. We would love to be able to add quality basketballs for our players and students to use during practice and training sessions.

Mr. Leonard
Grades 6-8
