Because of your contributions, our students received new towels, water bottles, and other essential basketball gear that have truly elevated their experience. When the equipment arrived, the students were ecstatic—smiles and excitement filled the gym as they proudly displayed their new gear. For many, it was the first time they had high-quality equipment, and it gave them a strong sense of pride and unity as a team. Your generosity did more than just provide supplies; it showed our athletes that their efforts are valued and supported by a caring community. The confidence and motivation they've gained carry over into their practices, games, and even their classrooms. We are incredibly grateful for your kindness and belief in our students. Because of you, they play—and dream—with greater purpose and pride.","fullyFundedDate":1744233996949,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-inner-city-middle-school-girl/9177583/","projectTitle":"Supporting Inner City Middle School Girls Basketball Team","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stinson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9970451"},{"teacherId":2051849,"projectId":5684245,"letterContent":"I used the goodies as rewards for students after they won a competition in a math game or scored the highest on a math assignment.
