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

Bump, set, spike! We got this!

Our season kicks off this fall and we are excited to improve our skills and prepare for high school level play.

The team is in need of new equipment to help them accomplish their goals. Through this donation, you will help this occur.

New training materials are needed to be used to improve drills and improve the dynamics of practice. These materials will also improve our program for years to come for all student-athletes.

Thank you for time and helping this team be the best they can be.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
