My Project

Team spirit and a sense of unity are crucial for the success of our cheerleading and basketball teams in the upcoming intramural season. To elevate our players and cheerleaders' experience, we're seeking support to acquire swag gear that not only boosts morale but also showcases our team pride. As a proud assistant coach both the cheer and basketball teams have experienced an exciting opportunity to make a positive impact on their athletic journeys. We are seeking your generous support to sponsor essential items like water bottles, basketball gear, and cheer bags through DonorsChoose.

Staying hydrated is key to our players' performance on the basketball court.

With your sponsorship, we can provide each athlete with a durable and personalized water bottle, ensuring they stay refreshed and ready to give their best in every game. Basketball is more than just a sport for our players; it's a passion. Your support in sponsoring baseball gear will enable our budding athletes to hone their skills, fostering a sense of teamwork, discipline, and a love for the game. Quality equipment is a game-changer, and with your help, our players can step onto the field with confidence and pride.

For our spirited cheerleaders, having the right gear is essential for bringing energy and enthusiasm to the sidelines. Sponsoring cheer bags will not only ensure our cheerleaders have a place for their essentials but also boost their team spirit as they cheer on our basketball players. Your support will make a lasting impact on their cheerleading experience. Your sponsorship goes beyond providing physical items; it's an investment in the growth, confidence, and camaraderie of our students. It creates a sense of unity and pride in being part of a team.
