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

Twenty of the 67 cadets in our AFJROTC program will attend Cadet Leadership Course at The Citadel this summer 16-22 June 2024. They are required to bring many items and this hydration pack is the most costly. Please help my 90% poverty-level Title I cadets get this mandatory item. The summer heat in Charleston SC can easily zap one's energy and since the cadets are moving around all day long from sunrise past sunset, they are required to have a hydration pack on at all times. They have to continually drink water in order not to dehydrate. Thank you in advance for supporting our cadets and developing citizens of character dedicated to serving their nation and community!
