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
I am raising funds to purchase pickleball equipment, including paddles, nets, and balls for my middle school physical education classes. Your generous donation will enable me to provide an introduction to this popular sport at an early age.
Pickleball is more than just a sport—it’s a community builder, a way to stay active, and a source of joy for people of all ages and skill levels.
However, to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to experience this fantastic game, we need your help.
With your support, we can:
1. Promote Physical Activity: Pickleball is a great way to encourage exercise and healthy living.
2. Foster Community Engagement: By providing the necessary equipment, we can bring together diverse groups in our community, fostering new friendships and strengthening bonds.
3. Ensure Accessibility: Not everyone can afford the equipment needed to play pickleball. Your contribution will make this inclusive sport accessible to all, regardless of financial means.
Every dollar counts, and your donation will go directly towards purchasing high-quality equipment that will be available for all my students to use. Join me in spreading the joy of pickleball and helping my students stay healthy throughout their lives.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
