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 cheerleaders are dedicated, hardworking, and passionate young athletes. As part of a competitive cheer team at a Title I public elementary school—something very rare—they train hard and consistently rise to the challenge. They’ve earned the SHARP Master State Champion title two years in a row and commit over 100 hours annually to practices and performances. Their spirit and teamwork are truly inspiring!

This project will help ensure their safety and success as they continue to grow as athletes and performers.

The wrist braces will support our bases as they lift teammates during stunts, helping prevent injuries and allowing them to practice confidently. Bow holders and cheer poms will keep their performance gear protected, ensuring they always look polished and prepared. My goal is to provide tools that match their effort and commitment—resources that show them their hard work matters and deserves to be supported.
