  • Get Fit or Work Hard Trying!

    Funded Nov 22, 2021

    Words cannot express our gratitude for the donations you have provided for our track team and school PE program. Our students are going to be much better athletes, more importantly better fit individuals that can carry out daily tasks without getting tired or burnt out from exerting energy. With the materials you provided, they now have the about building their body strength and stamina to compete with their peers on a more equal playing field. We are so happy you chose us to grant us the funds to purchase our much needed and desired items. It does not go unnoticed and we are forever grateful for your impact on our students.”

  • Fitness Activity Overhaul

    Funded Jul 20, 2021

    The amount of gratitude we have cannot express how much we appreciate your commitment to helping youth achieve their goals. The donations have given our team an opportunity to learn about the mechanics of running, the strength it requires to explode out of the blocks as well as driving and striving to win a competition. The equipment has done just that. It has increased our likelihood to be more successful in learning about how the body works in movement and the biomechanics involved in increasing speed, power, and strength.

    The photos we share will show you the amount of fun each kid had learning and working to achieve their fitness goals. Thank you so much for this opportunity as you will be greatly blessed on how you bless others.”

  • Project Build Strong Team 2

    Funded Mar 9, 2016

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the top of my soul for your contribution to our Project Build Strong Team 2. It really means so much when there are not only individuals but companies that are willing to reach out to people in the community and give generously with no problem. You have provided us with so much more that what we had, the opportunity to use equipment, we may have never had access to, funds to purchase and a means to obtain them. Thank you for providing us with that: opportunity. Many students at our school have never had someone to care about them enough to just give them a chance and with your donation, you've helped give them that chance. This is the first/second time in many years that these athletes will be able to gain access to things such as high intensity interval training, CrossFit activities, and strength and Plyometric activities. You have created an opportunities for these athletes to compete on a higher level that gives them a chance to participate in the state championships. So again, thank you and I really appreciate you picking us to be a part of your donation.”

  • Project Build Strong Team

    Funded Aug 15, 2015

    When my athletes saw their new equipment, excitement and joy filled their eyes and hearts. They are really grateful for the donations and the kindness you've shown to us. We can never repay you for your thoughtfulness but we can only express our gratitude. This gift has made an exceptional impact on our workout regimen and routines. We are now able to apply more fitness concepts to our training and allow more repetitions to group practices. Cross fit type of equipment will help compensate for our space and weight room schedule issue. This allows us to do more training outside in open areas without the confinement of a weight room. We are especially glad that you considered us for a donation and are very appreciative of your resources you've provided us with.

    Thank you and we will continue to rebuild our program with your help.”

Our school houses students from a very diverse community. We tend to get athletes that do not have the resources or economic status that our surrounding schools have. Therefore, many of them are very appreciative, hard working, and are eager to train and develop more in track and field. We have athletes aged from 15-18, of which the team is rebuilding from a loss of many great coaches and program changes. For the first time in many years, the girls' team was able to qualify and medal in the state championships and one became a state champion. The boys' team was able to do the same but only two became medalists and one a state champion. This team is very tenacious and ready to start a new season but with high hopes, having more resources would only encourage them even more.
