Helmet to Change a Future

Help me give my students sets of lacrosse equipment for children to reach out to the low-income families.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Allison's classroom raised $373

This project is fully funded

My Students

My players are reaching out to families that can't afford to play organized sports. We are gathering youth equipment to start this project. We need more helmets to protect the players that are in our youth practices for this team to be able to compete against other teams.

My players and students will be using the lacrosse helmets to play and teach low-income families the great sport of lacrosse.

Many examples are already well documented that sports help build character and even motivate kids to do better in school. With the lacrosse helmets, we can do our part to enhance the kids lives in our community.

My Project

My players will be giving the helmets to the youth players that are attending or joining our clinics and practices. The helmets allow for more drills during clinics and more repetitions for the young players to learn the game. My students and players need more equipment to continue to grow the sport. The players will be using these in clinics and later competing in tournaments.

The sport of Lacrosse has opened doors to hundreds of players that wouldn't have a chance at a college education.

Athletics is the last frontier we have of making strong men and women. By allowing more students to learn the sport, they are learning discipline and hard work. These skills can be applied to their lives, making a lasting impact.

With the help of the equipment, they will be able to compete at a higher level and become better players because of this contribution.
