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

Our football program is seeking support to purchase a one-man football ISO trainer to enhance our athletes’ blocking and block-shedding skills. This versatile piece of equipment is essential for teaching proper technique safely and efficiently—helping our players build strength, precision, and confidence on the field. What makes this project even more impactful is its reach: this tool will benefit both our high school and middle school athletes.

We’re working closely with our feeder middle school campuses to align training and foster continuity, setting up students for long-term success in our athletic pipeline.

By supporting this project, you’re investing not just in equipment, but in mentorship, teamwork, and skill-building across grade levels.

This training equipment will be used daily and provide years of value to our program and the students who take pride in it. With your help, we can elevate our training and grow stronger together—one rep at a time.
