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

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 build a sense of community and fellowship for all involved.

Football has changed my life and I feel obligated to give back to those who need it the most. Helping to purchase a new football will allow me to properly equip my players with the necessary equipment for 7 vs 7 competition.

Mr. Ivory
Grades 9-12
