Celebrating 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
Our basketball team is more than just a group of players; it’s a community where student-athletes learn teamwork, discipline, and resilience. To help our players thrive and get to the next level, we are seeking funding for essential materials, including weighted basketballs, training gear, first-aid supplies, and footwear support. These items will not only improve our practices and game preparation but also ensure the health, safety, and growth of every team member. Your support will empower these young athletes to achieve their goals both on and off the court and ensure not only that they play basketball, but take these lessons from the court and apply them to day-to-day life.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
