My Project

We want to provide new softball gloves for the EOCHS girls who can’t afford to replace older gloves with newer gloves. Our school is an Urban district where sports such as tennis and softball are played, but not much. Softball is a sport we want to expand in East Orange, as to get our girls to play more non -traditional sports including tennis, softball, etc. Plus increasing college opportunities too. Getting the new gloves will give the student-athletes an advantage that will help them field and catch.
