Strength for Softball

Help me give my students a better weight room for our softball team. We need new racks so we can really get a lot out of the space we have.

FULLY FUNDED! Coach Alberson's classroom raised $1,182

My Project

We are a 6A softball program located in Memphis, TN. We are a winning program, but we need a little help getting even better. We have been allotted a small space to use for a weight room/activities room. Weights are not a problem we just need some help getting some racks to lift.

My team is made up of inner-city girls.

Finances are hard for us to come by. Our district doesn't give any financial support for athletics. Everything we need for a softball season we have to fundraise for. Any support is greatly appreciated.

Our athletes are hardworking, and we use what we have on hand but, sometimes it's not enough. Space is something we need because we have to share our facilities with our football team.
