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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I want to give the students I couch, the ability to have access, use of equipment and exposure to other athletic related options or materials, that wouldn't normally be available to them, simply because it is not in the budget.

I grew up in the very same neighborhood and attended the very same school, that i am now getting to coach at.

Statistically 97% of the students at this school, fall under the status of being from a home that falls under the guidelines of what is considered to be economically disadvantaged, but I say, that doesn't speak for who these kids really are inside, they are more than just some statistics and labels.

That is why I do everything and anything I can to help make sure those who want to participate can whether it's me providing transportation from practice and to games and also going out in the community and finding Community Partners to help feed them meals on game days, and provide snacks. I believe it takes a village, and I'm hoping that you can become a part of our village by helping fund this donors choose. Thank You.
