Celebrating Black History Month

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

Living in the city has its advantages and disadvantages. We have access to any and all supports our students may need, but it also means high crime and theft rates. Fabulous donors like yourself have donated amazing equipment to our after school Basketball Training Camp. Yet we have realized we need a way to secure that equipment.

Help us provide our basketballers a secure spot to store their valued materials.

Help us give them the security that these amazing materials provided will be there the next day for their use and training. Help us show our students that they matter to us by giving them brand name basketballs, pinnies for practice, and a lock box with locks to store it all.

The last thing we would want is to come to school and find our amazing quality materials gone. Help us secure that with your donation today.
