My Project

Our school is starting an intramural basketball program this year to help get our students interested in after-school athletics and activities. Intramurals provide a great opportunity for fun social interaction among our students while giving an opportunity for more participation within our student body. Our volunteer coaches are excited to get started, but we are in need of some new equipment to help get our program up and running.

We need 20 new basketballs for our students and three whistles for our coaches to help direct our students.

Please consider donating to our project "Let's All Play Ball" and help us to get our intramural program off the ground. As always, we truly appreciate any donations to our project. Thank you so much in advance!
