This teacher needs your help!

Mr. Core, LTC (ret) from Indianapolis IN is requesting sports & exercise equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Sweat for Success: Gear Up for Gains!

Help me give my students exercise equipment they can use to improve their minds and their bodies. This will help create teambuilding activities and the motivation slogans throughout the workspace will help create positive mindsets moving forward.

My Project

Take your medicine... ball! This isn't just any fundraiser; it's a high-energy, feel-good effort where your generous donations help sculpt the future leaders of our high school Junior ROTC! You aren't just building biceps - you're building strength, discipline, and teamwork among our young Cadets!

Be a Hero of Health and a Champion of Change!

Help us break a sweat and make a difference in our community as our Cadets increase their strength and stamina! We will purchase medicine balls (5 pounds all the way up to 30 pounds!), resistance bands, professional jump ropes, and (of course) motivational Wall-Posters-of-Encouragement! (Yelled out like the Muppets... "Pigs in Space!!!!" ... If you know.... you know.)

We aren't rolling for initiative here! We are rolling (medicine balls) for fitness!

We aren't skipping class... We are skipping (rope) for stamina!

Join us in this adrenaline-fueled adventure as we sweat, strive, and soar to new heights together. Your generous donations will inspire a generation of Cadets to push past their limits and achieve greatness. Let's show our Cadets that when the community comes together, there's no challenge too tough to tackle!
