  • Hydration Sensation

    Funded Nov 13, 2024

    The Donors Choose grant to fund cups for our coolers will have a significant impact on our basketball program by promoting the health and performance of our students. Staying hydrated is critical during basketball games, where intense physical activity can quickly lead to dehydration. By ensuring that cups are readily available for our coolers, players will have convenient access to water, encouraging them to stay hydrated throughout practices and games.

    This small but essential resource not only supports the players' physical well-being but also enhances their ability to perform at their best. Dehydration can lead to fatigue, cramps, and decreased focus, all of which can hinder a player's performance and safety. With this grant, we can eliminate barriers to proper hydration, fostering a healthier environment and helping our students develop positive habits that extend beyond the court.

    Additionally, this initiative shows our community's commitment to supporting student-athletes, emphasizing the importance of both health and teamwork in achieving success.”

  • Sports Builds Character and Confidence in Young People!

    Funded Sep 20, 2024

    I hope this message finds you well! I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of school supplies, including the practice jerseys, water coolers and carts, and basketball board(and markers) for diagramming plays.

    These items will make a significant difference for our basketball team. The practice jerseys will not only enhance team spirit but also foster a sense of unity among our players. The water coolers will ensure our athletes stay hydrated during practice and games, and the basketball board and markers will be invaluable for teaching and strategizing plays.

    Your support demonstrates a wonderful commitment to our students' athletic development and well-being. We are truly grateful for your generosity, which allows us to provide our athletes with the resources they need to succeed.

    Thank you once again for your kindness and support.”

  • Dribbling a Basketball: A Transfer of Energy

    Funded Nov 1, 2023

    Thanks to you, our boys basketball team is busy dribbling to their future.

    Your generous gift has helped to buy the basketballs, to help our program, but more specifically to invest in the lives of young men, who are looking to better themselves.

    We know that team sports are essential in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, research has also shown that participating in exercise and team sports may positively affect your mental, social, and spiritual health, alongside the body.

    Our sincere thanks for your support!!”

    With gratitude,

  • Heat It Up!

    Funded May 5, 2020

    Thank you for donating the funds that made it possible for me to purchase a heat press for my students. Because of your generosity, my students will have the opportunity to use this incredible resource to create products that enable them to foster a sense of belonging. Students, today, feel lonely and isolated. They need to feel included, part of something greater than themselves. The heat press will allow them to make t-shirts, hats, bags, mugs...anything they can imagine with their team logo/colors. These items will promote a team identity for the students.

    You can tell from the smile on my student's face that he was shocked and excited. They did not realize that they were receiving the surprise! It was truly an exciting moment. Their reactions were joyful!

    Next, the students need to learn to use the heat press. They will be able to come up with designs, product ideas, etc. after they learn to use the machine (or I may use it for safety because I have found that it gets pretty hot!!)”

    With gratitude,

    Coach Boogaart

Owning a heat press will allow me to create motivational items for my student athletes. Using this tool, I can make shirts, bags, caps, etc. to celebrate my athletes and to give them a sense of team and school identity. My students could also use this heat press to create merchandise that could provide a source of funding for student-athletes who cannot afford camps, shoes, etc. Students will be tasked with creating products from design all the way through distribution and sales, which will give them great experiences that will help them in the future. In addition to the economic lessons the students will learn, the heat press projects will provide opportunities for my students to participate in a philanthropic endeavor and to extend kindness and compassion to their teammates and others.
