  • Complete Team Jerseys

    Funded Feb 28, 2020

    Thank you for the selfless donations for our little program. The team worked so hard to raise enough funds for a new set of uniforms. The problem is our soccer team had become popular that we did not order enough jerseys! There were five players that were left without jerseys and we were planning on working out a rotation system so these players could still be a part of the team, or we would have to make cuts. Since my goal is to spread positive characteristics that being on a team can bring, I did not want to make cuts.

    A parent gave me the idea to create this donors choose project and it was funded so quickly that we were able to go from not having enough jerseys two weeks before the season started to everyone matching. They were elated.

    Thank you so much for your generosity!”

    With gratitude,

  • Academic Rewards

    Funded Apr 10, 2019

    Thank you so much for your incredible generosity! This field day was a culmination of 9 weeks of hard work by our 6th through 12th grade students. The put in excellent work in the classroom and our school was designated a reward school by the state of Tennessee. This means the students' academic growth was among the highest in the state. This day was a means to reward the students for that hard work in the classroom. Without your donations, it would not have been nearly as successful! Thank you again!”

  • Backpacks for First Time Girl's Soccer Program

    Funded Jul 2, 2019

    Thank you so much for your generosity. Our team felt an instant sense of unity with matching gear. In our first year, we have exceeded all expectations. We finished with 8 wins and place 3rd in the regular season in our district. When the girls first saw their backpacks, they flipped out and instantly started wearing them up and down the hallway. They truly care for one another as a family and matching is just the icing on the cake. The season still is not over and the girls are already recruiting for next year. They are telling their classmates what a fun sport soccer is and what the concept of unity and family looks like at the adolescent level. Thank you again from me and my team!”

  • Uniforms for the Underserved

    Funded Jan 10, 2019

    Thank you so much for your generous donations! Being in a small rural school in a large mostly urban school district, we do not receive much aid in athletics. I your donations helped fill a desperate need! As we begin our sixth season as a soccer family, the players have never felt more loved than this year when I told them we will finally have matching uniforms. There has been an unprecedented brother/sisterhood on the team. It meant so much for this group of players new to the sport to know that someone outside of their parents and coaches believed in them! The first game we lined up to take the field one of my players turned to me and said, "Coach, this is pretty cool. We look like we belong out there now. We actually look like the teams I saw on TV."

    I cannot thank you enough for your overwhelming generosity!”

These kids are a family on this team. They feel slighted because we get no help. Everything we do is on our own. We have raised funds nonstop for five years. We have done the best we can, but we need help! Our students are not from affluent families, so we have done all we can in our community. They want nothing more than to look like a team. These uniforms will be used for our boy's and girl's seasons, so they will be used year round. I have a place that has agreed to screen print our logo and numbers, so we just need the shirts! Please help us reach this goal! Unite this group for the first time in our school's history!
