Because of your contributions, we were able to purchase both a ball machine and a stringing machine, and their impact has already been tremendous.\r\n\r\nThe ball machine has quickly become one of our most valuable training, tools, allowing players to develop consistency, accuracy, and confidence, while giving our coaches the ability to provide individualized instruction without interruption. The stringing machine has also been a game changer. It has helped the players maintain their equipment and stay competitive without the high cost of frequent restringing. Together, these additions are not only saving money, but are elevating the overall quality of our practices and player development.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity. Our players are training, smarter, growing faster, and preparing to take the next step which is competing in more matchplay and tournaments to build their experience and confidence. Your support has made this growth possible, and we are deeply grateful for your continued belief in our program and our athletes.","fullyFundedDate":1753119932747,"projectUrl":"project/powering-play-with-pickleball-and-tennis/9198861/","projectTitle":"Powering Play With Pickleball and Tennis","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Vargas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9224835"},{"teacherId":9279361,"projectId":9294029,"letterContent":"I wanted to say thank you again for donating supplies to my classroom.
