Tumbling in the Bronx
Funded Aug 6, 2024On behalf of the LION Cheerleading team, we would like to sincerely extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of our donors. From the bottom of our hearts, we are truly thankful for your generosity and support. This past year has been a challenging one for us, especially with the heartbreaking loss of our beloved coach. Her dedication, passion, and commitment to this team have always been a guiding force, and her absence has left a void that is difficult to fill. However, thanks to the unwavering support from our community, we have not only been able to continue the cheer program, but also honor her memory by pushing forward in the direction she would be proud of.
Your donations have given us the opportunity to take our team to the next level. With the addition of new tumbling mats and bows, we can now expand our skills into the realm of tumbling and stunting, elevating our repertoire and enhancing the overall performance of the LION Cheerleaders. Tumbling and stunting have been key areas we wanted to grow in, and now, with your help, we can do so safely and effectively. This expansion will not only improve our routines but also challenge us to become more versatile and competitive.
We are incredibly excited to begin incorporating these new elements into our practices and performances. The mats will allow us to train with more confidence, as they provide a safe environment to practice advanced stunts and flips. The new bows may seem like a small detail, but to us, they symbolize unity and the pride we take in representing our team. Every time we step onto the mat, these gestures remind us of the kindness and belief our supporters have in us. We look forward to showcasing our improved skills and growth during our upcoming season, knowing that we are doing so in honor of our coach's legacy and with the backing of our amazing community.
Thank you once again for your generosity. It is because of donors like you that we can continue to grow and reach new heights as a team. We promise to carry the spirit and lessons of our coach forward in everything we do, and we are excited to make you all proud with the progress we achieve this year. Your contributions mean the world to us, and we can't wait to show everyone what we are capable of!
With sincere gratitude,

Funded Oct 5, 2023On behalf of the LION Charter basketball program, I want to express our deepest gratitude for your incredibly generous donation towards our new basketball warm-ups.

Access = Opportunity
Funded Jul 21, 2023As the Head Soccer Coach and Director of Athletics at LION Charter School located in Hunts Point, Bronx, I would like to thank you for being a generous sponsor of the ACCESS = OPPORTUNITY project which has ensured that each player on our team will have the proper tools needed to be successful both on and off the field. With your help our project was fully funded and on behalf of myself and the entire LION Community we wish to express our utmost appreciation to you for your generous donation to our athletic program. Our LION Charter School student athletes will continue to remain committed to excellence both in the classroom and on the field.
With your donation we were able to equip our student athletes with navy and gold socks, shin guards, soccer balls, and bag packs to better prepare them for future practices and games. Just the smile on our athletes face has brought a warm feeling to my heart and I know it will do the same for you after you read this message.
Our athletes would not be able to do what they are doing now without your generous support. Again, thank you for your thoughtful donation.”
