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

Your donations will help go towards rebuilding our school's weight room! This project is focused on procuring items needed to enhance the dilapidated weight room in our school. We are looking for weight plates, weight bars, and kettlebells. These items will not only help out the school's Track and Field team, which I coach, but they will also help all other sports in our school as well which will include Football, basketball, soccer, softball, swimming, and wrestling! All in all, we project that these items will help over 500 student-athletes prepare for their respective seasons! Thank you in advance for all your help!
