Film Gear for Volleyball Team
Funded Mar 27, 2024On behalf of Chavez, I would like to extend our deepest gratitude for your generous donation of film gear for our volleyball team. Your support means the world to us, and we are truly thankful for your contribution.
The film gear you have provided will have a significant impact on our athletes and our entire student body. Not only will it enhance the experience of our volleyball team, but it will also open up new opportunities for our athletes and managers to explore various aspects of athletics, including media. By having access to this equipment, our students will be able to gain valuable skills in videography, photography, and media production, which will undoubtedly benefit them in their future endeavors.
Your generosity has empowered our students to dream bigger and reach higher. The ability to capture and share the journey of our volleyball team through media will not only strengthen our sense of community but also inspire others to pursue their passions and interests.
Once again, thank you for your support and for investing in the growth and development of our students. Your generosity will leave a lasting impact on our team and our entire school community.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Genaro

Funded Jan 8, 2024I hope this letter finds you well and filled with the same warmth and generosity that your recent donation has brought to our organization. On behalf of everyone here at Chavez, I wanted to extend our deepest gratitude for your incredibly generous contribution of supplies. Your donation of water bottles, athletic tape, band-aids, socks, shirts, and hangers is truly appreciated and will make a significant impact on our ability to serve our community.
Your thoughtful donation of these essential items will directly benefit those we serve in numerous ways. The water bottles will ensure that individuals stay hydrated during our programs and activities, promoting their overall health and well-being. The athletic tape and band-aids will help us provide immediate care and support to those who may sustain minor injuries or need first aid assistance. Additionally, the socks, shirts, and hangers will provide much-needed comfort and dignity to those accessing our services, allowing them to focus on their personal growth and well-being.
Your generosity not only provides tangible resources but also serves as a reminder of the incredible kindness and support within our community. It is heartening to know that we have partners like you who share our commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of others. Please accept our sincerest thanks for your generosity and continued support. Together, we are making a meaningful impact and creating a brighter future for those in need.”

Funded Jan 17, 2024On behalf of the entire volleyball team here in Houston, Texas, I want to express our deepest gratitude for your generous support in providing us with essential practice supplies. Your contribution has made a significant impact on our ability to enhance our skills and elevate our performance on the court. The girls were so excited and felt so special when they received their new equipment. This has been a huge motivation for me as the coach and the girls as we gear up for our next season. As I am sure you are well aware, champions are made in the off season.
The air pump for our volleyballs ensures that we can maintain their quality for a longer duration, allowing us to focus more on our training and less on equipment maintenance. Additionally, the practice cones and ladders have become invaluable tools in our drills, helping us refine our agility, speed, and coordination, which are vital aspects of the game.
We are particularly thrilled about the target net you provided, as it has revolutionized our precision training. The ability to fine-tune our accuracy during practice sessions has been a game-changer for us, and we can already see improvements in our overall performance on the court.
Moreover, your contribution of setting bands has been instrumental in aiding our new setters to improve their hand form and deliver precise sets. These tools not only facilitate skill development but also foster teamwork and camaraderie among our players.
Once again, thank you for your generosity and unwavering support. Your investment in our team's success means the world to us, and we are committed to making the most of these resources as we continue to strive for excellence in volleyball.
With heartfelt appreciation,”

Funded Sep 5, 2022When I began unboxing the supplies for my classroom, I had a whole new excitement for the school year. This was NOTHING compared to the excitement of the students. It has been a long time dream of mine to offer a maker space for my students and this resource has made a huge difference in their projects. From holders for stations to organization and supplies, this support has made a huge difference for me and my students this year. Our most recent project was camouflaging butterflies to show natural selection. Students had paper, markers and scissors to help them be successful.
Your support and kindness means the world to me and I am so grateful for you!”

Basketball Must Haves
Funded Nov 21, 2022The pants, socks and water bottles had a huge impact on our girls. The JV team played harder to earn theirs and Varsity looked so official with them on. It helped the cohesiveness of the team and really gave the girls a confidence boost. Not only did they play the part of a hardworking team but now they look like one too! We are so appreciative of your support and without donations like yours, programs go underfunded.
When the girls first saw them they were beyond excited. They tried them on and they were sliding around in the practice. It gave them the confidence to try their hardest. I added names to each of the water bottles and it helped the girls feel special and proud to be a lady lobo.
On behalf of the lady lobo hoopz, we thank you so much.”

Funded Nov 17, 2022On behalf of the Lady Lobos Basketball Team I want to extend a HUGE thank you for your support and donations to our program. With your help we were able to step up our game. The film setup you helped us acquire was used to record film and help keep track of stats. We were able to get one of our players ranked 18th in the state and she was able to use the film from the recordings to reach out to coaches! We are also building an archive for younger players as they go through the process.
We spent hours watching the film with the team and were able to look at mistakes and make plans for improvement.
We have made huge strides this year and can't wait to see what the future holds for us.
The video cameras, tripods, and memory cards were a huge game changer for our program.

Dear Donors,
I would like to begin with a huge thank you! This year has been far from normal and on top of all of the challenges that a typical year gives us, we have been blind sided by some huge obstacles. I am a first year teacher in science and this is not what I could have ever imagined for my students or for myself. However, with your support I am able to provide a sense of normalcy for my kiddos. These kits will have pencils, colored pencils, scissors, glue sticks, and some other tools to help my kiddos follow along in science throughout the year. However, your donation will not stop there.
These notebooks are a compilation of all of our notes and many activities throughout the year. While there are many digital options available, these hands on notebooks are a great change of pace in today's world as many students struggle with writing and coloring this gives them the opportunity to practice. My students are excited to be able to add color and fun activities into their books like foldables, organizer cards and much more. Everyone having their own supplies will help class move more smoothly and efficiently as well as comply with COVID-19 Safety Guidelines.
8th grade science is a strong part of the foundation for their next four years in science. These notebooks will be able to help them as they recall information that they learned this year all throughout high school.
I am so deeply grateful for your donation and support of my first classroom! On behalf of my students and many to come, we give a thousand thanks to you.
Kind Regards,
Natalie Genaro
