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

Both the girls' and boys' tennis teams at our high school have been incredibly fortunate this off-season, and both teams have joyously received a quantity of donations of tennis gear and accessories. Among the various donations we have welcomed to our tennis program are a variety of racquets well-suited to our young players.

The racquets that local players donated to our program are high-quality and eminently serviceable; however, many of these donated racquets are in need of new replacement grips and overgrips.

Your generous donation to this project will help our players replace the worn or damaged grips on the racquets that were donated to our programs and return them to a state of readiness. In addition, the new tennis balls this project will provide will help ensure that our players have enough new balls to play their scheduled matches.
