Hitting It Out of the Park!!

Help me give my students upgraded baseball equipment to replace the broken, missing, and outdated equipment we are currently using.

My Students

My students come from a low socio-economic back ground and are working hard to overcome their challenges and make their school great! They are dedicated to continuing to improve how their school is perceived in our community. Our students have definitely been through some rough patches, but they are ready to prove they are more than just a statistic and can do great successful things!

My Project

The baseball equipment we are using is old and most of it is broken or extremely worn down. With the spring time coming up we would like to be able to have new equipment to teach fundamental skills of baseball and help students learn more about the sport.

The new helmets and netting will help ensure proper student safety during lessons.

We are also in need of new baseballs, as ours are falling apart. The pitching net will help us teach students how to pitch accurately and save time in chasing the balls during lessons.

Our hope is that we can help to build a new appreciation and love for one of America's favorite sports. This new equipment will help to facilitate that goal.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
