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

We are an underprivileged high school on the east side of Chicago, IL. I am requesting badminton supplies because we barely have any racquet sports available at our school. These supplies would be part of our PE department and would help us spread the popularity of racquet sports to our students. We currently have no racquet sports available for students to join, such as a tennis team, badminton team, or not even any courts near us for a potential team to practice. Hopefully, with these supplies and your generous donation, we can get more students interested in racquet sports and maybe one day start some teams! But, these supplies to the PE department to help us better our department and start the interest.
