Help Protect Our Football Players

Help me give my students new football girdles needed to participate in football.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Ivory's classroom raised $172

This project is fully funded

My Project

The football girdle is an essential piece of protective gear, providing crucial padding for the hips, tailbone, and thighs. At our school, the safety and well-being of our athletes are our top priorities. Our current stock of football girdles is aging, with some showing significant wear and tear, compromising the level of protection they offer our players during intense practices and games.

To ensure the continued safety and confidence of our athletes on the field, we are seeking your support to purchase new, high-quality football girdles.

These vital pieces of equipment will provide the necessary impact protection, allowing our players to perform at their best with reduced risk of injury. Investing in new girdles is an investment in their health and their ability to fully participate in the sport they love.

We are reaching out to our community for your generous contributions to help us secure these essential safety items. Your donation, in any amount, will directly contribute to the well-being and protection of our dedicated football players. Please consider supporting our team by helping us equip them with the safety gear they need to play with confidence.
