Softball Equipment for My Students

Help me give my students the opportunity to have a softball season. My students are underprivileged yet yearn to learn new sports. Buying sports equipment is not a priority for my families.

My Project

I am the softball coach in South Bend, Indiana. Over the years I have seen kids walk away from an opportunity to learn/play a sport because they did not have the equipment needed. Being part of a team is so important for kids. Helping them see that someone is there for them. This runs deeper than just learning a sport. I am asking for your help to make gloves, fielder's masks, and a batting tee available to any student wanting to learn and play softball. This is a quick ask as the season has already started and I have run through all of my personal equipment for my girls.
