My Project
Please help me to help the ones who need it the most. This project is to help save our at-risk youth from the violence of the inner city by engaging our youth in the game of football. Sports can save lives and football is my way to help save our youth.
Playing football teaches students how to achieve a common goal by working with one another.
Football teaches discipline, structure and it helps to builds a sense of community and fellowship for all involved.
Football has changed my life and I feel obligated to give back to those who needs it the most. Helping to purchase football shoulders pads allows update our equipment to ensure the safety of our players.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
