My Project
Equipping our girls' softball team with the proper sporting equipment will boost their self-esteem and self-efficacy and hopefully winning spirit. Each year when our girls' softball team shows up for practice and conference games they are noticeably under-prepared with a lack of high-quality equipment such as hitters bats and fielder gloves.
When I asked the coach why don't you have enough softball equipment she would always reply, "we are not the priority."
Being that I have served as the school DonorsChoose Ambassador for many years, and I have had numerous projects funded; I decided to make the girls' softball team my priority. Even though they lack support, they don't lack the will to compete. Help support the purchase of this much-needed sports equipment.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
