Basketball Club

Funded Nov 18, 2021

For the past few months, my high school basketball girls have struggled to get to practice something as simple as shooting a foul shot because we simply did not have the equipment for them.

Eventually, I was able to find two old basketballs that were worn down, practically flat, and almost unusable. My girls made it work, with smiles on their faces the entire time.

Then I heard about the option to submit a donors choose project, although I never mentioned it to the girls as to not get their hopes up in case the materials were not funded.

A few weeks ago, I was able to come into our classroom with a giant box full of incredible materials for my students. Thanks to your generous donation, I was able to see the smiling faces of my students as we opened all the boxes for our brand new basketballs, athletic cones, and our basketball pump. Soon after opening the boxes, my students asked me where all these materials came from and I was able to tell them of all your generosity in supporting their purchasing of materials. The excitement was undeniable.

That afternoon we headed out to the basketball court where all of my students were able to participate in shooting around, instead of only one or two shooting with our flattened basketball. 
I simply cannot express my gratuity in words, so I will leave it with a thank you.”
