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

Please support my team as we aim to get new equipment for our new season! The girls on my varsity softball team are committed, hard-working, and motivated to perfect their game. We need gear to match their spirit and support in improving their skills.

Participation in athletics increases students' confidence on and off the field.

That is why it is critical for my athletes to have equipment that gets them excited to play and come to practice each day. With an eagerness to put in the work towards their goals in softball, they will also be inspired to succeed in school and beyond!
