Team Bat

Help me give my students a team bat so they can have good equipment. We also need a pair of cleats and turfs for a new player on the team so she can match everyone else.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

Your donations will help the softball team purchase a bat. We have a strong team with high goals. We also need a pair of cleats and turfs for a new player. She was not on the team when we purchased team shoes, and we don't want her to feel left out. The team is putting in the work to make a trip back to States this year and win it. We have a mix of middle school players through high school players. We are teaching the girls about sportsmanship, teamwork and unity. It is important that the girls have the best equipment in order to reach their goals. By providing the girls with this bat, they will have the best chance of reaching their goals.
