We truly appreciate your support.\r\n\r\nDuring the winter months, we are unable to get outside to use our pitching mound. Having a pitching mat at our recreation center is extremely important because it allows our pitchers to continue practicing year-round. Since our indoor space has basketball-court style flooring, the mat is necessary to protect the floor while also helping our athletes develop proper pitching mechanics and good habits.\r\n\r\nYour donation will make a lasting difference for our players by giving them a safe and consistent place to train, even when the weather does not cooperate. We are very grateful for your generosity and commitment to supporting our athletes.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping our team grow and succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1762266364207,"projectUrl":"project/pitching-mat-for-a-varsity-softball-team/9860790/","projectTitle":"Pitching Mat for a Varsity Softball Team","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. DJ","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9872288_orig.png?crop=250,250,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1734025565131","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9872288"},{"teacherId":8721768,"projectId":9818595,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for getting this headgear for our wrestlers.
