Help me give my students warm-up jackets to help keep our muscles warm and ready for the game.

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

It's that time again to start preparing for our next volleyball season. Our JV volleyball team comprises girls learning the game of volleyball to those who have played for 2 years or less. Most of these girls are freshmen. We need warm-up jackets to help complete their list of items needed for the season. An athlete must make sure their muscles and body are warmed up to prevent injury when playing. I don't turn away players due to costs. Your support helps me focus on the game and not so much on the costs of play. Our team does not receive funding to cover these items that add up. Please help our program continue to grow so we can teach girls the great game of volleyball. Women's volleyball is now on the map and I want to make sure our girls are looking good and ready to win.
