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

Equip our rising stars with kneepads to safeguard against injury and ensure a strong start on the volleyball court. As we prepare for the season, we’re also dedicated to supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. Your contribution not only protects our players but also honors this important cause, empowering our team both physically and emotionally. Join us in making a difference – your support ensures our players are safe and our commitment to breast cancer awareness is unwavering.

Together, let’s make a difference both on and off the court.

Join Us in the Fight: Protecting Our Players, Honoring Breast Cancer Awareness
