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 Students
The area of our school is inner-city with low athletic funding... resulting in a 100% free breakfast and lunch daily for all students. The girls on the Lady Jaguar Volleyball Program consists of 30 females that fight endlessly to succeed on the court and in the classroom despite their situations. Our volleyball program works to shed light and direct paths towards college, with hopes of receiving collegiate athletic scholarships. Volleyball is a known expensive sport... the uniforms, travel and practice/game equipment. This funding project will help many female student-athletes in the hopes of brightening their future and realizing their dreams of being a collegiate student-athlete.
My Project
Being an inner-city organization, we have girls that do not have access to equipment and club teams needed to progress forward in the sport. The donation of the ankle braces, uniforms, and other essential items/equipment made to the Lady Jaguars Volleyball Team will be used to better a group of young ladies that are playing to find hope for their future. Volleyball is an overlooked female sport that our team has fully invested in for hopes of a college athletic scholarship. Any form of donation or equipment will be used for the continued support of the program. The items asked for will help progress the skills of the girls throughout the upcoming seasons in ways that many cannot afford.
