Hydration = Elevation: Keeping Our Athletes Fueled

Help me give my students one hydration tank to provide large-capacity, portable access to water during practices and competitions.

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

Our student-athletes give their all—on the field, on the court, and in the classroom. They push themselves daily to improve, but one of their biggest needs is often overlooked: hydration. Staying properly hydrated is essential for safety, performance, and recovery, especially during intense practices and games.

Currently, our athletes rely on small water bottles or single-use plastic, which often run out quickly and leave students without enough water to last through practice and games.

That’s why we are requesting a hydration tank. With this resource, our team will have continuous access to safe, cold water to keep them fueled and ready to perform.

One hydration tank to provide large-capacity, portable access to water during practices and competitions

Hydration is more than just water—it’s energy, focus, and safety. Dehydration can limit performance, increase fatigue, and even lead to injuries. With a hydration tank, our student-athletes will be able to focus less on finding water and more on giving their best on the field.

This project will directly support dozens of student-athletes, ensuring they have what they need to play safely, compete with confidence, and represent our school with pride. By keeping our athletes hydrated, we are also investing in their health, performance, and success both in sports and in life.
