Helping the Eagles Prepare for the 2025 Season!

Help me give my students new equipment for this upcoming season! We do not require that our players purchase their own to ensure that financial barriers don't prevent them from playing softball the first time.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Zwiebel's classroom raised $903

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

Before I begin, we are incredibly grateful for the assistance you all provided us in the 2024 season. Our girls were so thankful to receive brand new equipment from our generous donors. As we prepare for our fourth season in program history, the 2025 CHW Eagles softball team needs your help! Our team this year is comprised of a talented group of returning players and exuberant underclassmen playing softball for the first time. To help ensure we're fully prepared for the season, we are asking for donations to help us buy two new bats, a training net, and a mat for our batting cage! Any donations would go a long way in helping our passionate student-athletes access the equipment necessary to grow as athletes, students, and young women. Thank you in advance to anyone who is willing to consider supporting our girls in our upcoming season.
