This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
I service a low income community of students, who do not get a chance to use quality equipment. More times than not these students have not used equipment. We would surely appreciate the opportunity to use new equipment for the upcoming season. It's a beautiful sight to see a young man pick up a new bat and attempt to swing it. This makes them feel that they are about to hit a homerun. We would like to give them more, but there are limits, and other students that might be in the same situation us. "BEST"
