My Project

I am seeking your support to provide essential materials for our soccer team, including socks, field spray paint, soccer balls, and zip ties for our soccer boards. These items are critical to creating a safe, organized, and effective training environment. Socks help prevent blisters and injuries, ensuring our players are comfortable and protected. Field spray paint is necessary to clearly mark boundaries for fair and structured play. Soccer balls are the core of our training, allowing every student the chance to participate fully. Zip ties help maintain our soccer boards, which are key to teaching strategies and team communication. Your generous donation will directly support our students’ development, helping them grow as athletes and teammates.
