My students need ankle supports and knee braces to help support them as they go through the basketball, soccer and track seasons.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Van Kampen-Lewis's classroom raised $372
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 Students
"It's not whether you get knocked down; it's whether you get up."
— Vince Lombardi
This school is a middle city school with many different economic and cultural backgrounds. My athletes are asked to provide supplies which might be financially hard for them to get. Our school is a Title I school, and every bit of donation goes a long way. Our students are driven to always do their best, but they struggle. They need financial and emotional support from their community to help them meet their true potential.
My Project
Our athletes work hard all year to achieve their goals of academic and athletic excellence. They complete weekly academic and behavior checks. They attend practice daily and are active at least two hours a day. They are, without a doubt, rock stars. These athletes need help. Their growing bodies need ankle and knee support to prevent injuries. If you have played any of these sports, you know how high impact they are; my athletes can not afford to purchase these on their own.
Please help us make sure that our Lady Bobcats get the support they need to keep healthy and strong by providing us with the funding for the ankle and knee braces.
They give 150% to us every day ... lets give a little back to them!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
