My Project

Our high school track and field team really needs some equipment to help us train and improve. Right now, we don’t have anything—no hurdles, starting blocks, or even basic gear to help the athletes practice and get better. It’s tough to compete and grow as a team without the right tools.

Our athletes are dedicated and give it their all every day, but they’re at a disadvantage without proper training resources.

With your help, we can get the equipment we need, a canopy tent, collapsible wagon, and a new timer, to give them a fair shot at reaching their full potential. Your support would mean so much to these hardworking students and would help build a foundation for their success on and off the track!
