Mrs. Blizard from Bridgeport AL is requesting sports & exercise equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Hoop Dreams!

Help me give my students the opportunity for each one to have a basketball to enhance their dribbling and shooting skills! This will help us to follow the guidelines for Covid-19.

My Students

Small town players with a big heart! Our players have come together this year dedicated to teamwork. They have started winning and it is due to their love of the game and each other. They work hard and are dedicated to supporting each other and playing as a team. They speak up for each other and have each others back. They are what TEAM stands for!

My Project

We are a small school with a big heart. The basketball program is growing and we want to continue to enhance the love of basketball and school pride. By providing each player with their own basketball, it will allow the team to comply with Covid-19 guidelines. The players can still practice and not have to worry about spreading germs.

Basketballs, basketballs, basketballs!

We need basketballs for all the players to have their own to practice dribbling drills and shooting. Hoop Dreams can come true with hard work, practice, and dedication!
