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

This request is for multiple much-needed weight sets (a few of the many things needed) to allow the fitness athletes (fitness club and more) from our site the opportunity to be successful! All of these will be used as an incentive to encourage/motivate our students to work towards healthier lifestyles and will be awarded to several hard-working individuals from our school's fitness program (ie. the fitness club, football, basketball, baseball, volleyball, track/cross country, wrestling, etc.).

These items are more than just a simple donation, they are an opportunity that these students need and deserve.

Your donation will help make a huge difference for our program, so let's show these boys and girls that there are still good people out there who care about giving back.

These are wonderful students who simply want to better themselves, not only in the classroom but also at the athletic level! Not only do they run/work out, but they also train hard to accomplish much, much more!

They continue to push themselves, all while having fun, laughing with friends, and much more!

What originally began as a simple small group has grown and expanded into a team of students that I could never have imagined being in charge of.

They are an extremely great bunch of kids and deserve every opportunity that life has to offer—that is why I'm here advocating for their needs.
