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

As we provide an equitable learning experience for our middle school basketball student-athletes, we must ensure as coaches that each student-athlete is equipped to win.

This project will provide one of our well-deserved middle school basketball student-athletes with three brand new pairs of basketball shoes to continue learning and growing on the basketball court.

We can't wait to present these brand-new basketball shoes to one of our deserving student-athletes. We know that with these brand new shoes, our student-athletes will gain confidence and a love for the game of basketball that will ultimately lead to their success in and out of the classroom. Thank you!
