Softball Equipment Replacement

Help me give my students new softball equipment to replace damaged/destroyed/lost equipment due to storage in a deteriorating shed.

My Project

Our school softball team is wanting to replenish equipment, such as catcher's equipment, softballs, and more, that was damaged/destroyed/lost due to improper storage and decomposing storage shed. The school that I work for is a Title 1 school which services low socio-economic students. Many of these students cannot afford to purchase their own personal equipment. Due to lack of funds to purchase new items, I am reaching out to anyone who might help in this situation. Any amount donated would be greatly appreciated.

Our goal is to obtain enough equipment on our own so that the students will not have to supply their own equipment.
