Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Many of our students are newcomers to the United States whose families are learning their way and just getting settled. As such, many do not have additional money to pay into sports fundraisers or purchase additional sports gear for their students. With your help, we can help close this financial gap and get our students new soccer uniforms for the fall!

Please consider making a donation to help us get brand new soccer uniforms for our boys' and girls' soccer teams so that our newcomers can compete in the uniform department with their wealthier peers.

With your help we can continue to build pride and excitement around our soccer programs as we strive to move farther and farther in the state standings.
