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

The basketball team is comprised of excellent young men who are dedicated to the game of basketball and the commitment to excellence. We believe in working hard to achieve our goals for the upcoming season, and we are asking you to be a part of our process of creating a winning culture at our high school.

I am asking that you help our young athletes achieve individual and team success by helping with materials, including Wilson NCAA EVO NXT Game Basketballs, that will be used to improve on dribbling and shooting drills.

Students will use these items to improve their shooting and passing skills. We will use the mesh equipment bag to store all of our game and practice basketballs, and the reversible jerseys will be used to separate players for scrimmages and drills.

We would like to thank you for taking the time out of your day to consider contributing to our athletes!

Go panthers!
