• Pitching Mound for Practice

  Funded May 6, 2023

  Thank you so much for getting our team this pitching mound for practice and warming up. The mound helps our players work on their pitching technique in the off season in the gym. It is also able to be moved outside to help our pitchers warm up. It is hard to build proper mounds for the players to warm up with. Our team is in a low socioeconomic area so this was not something in our budget. Our players work very hard to try and catch up to the teams in our league that do not have our same struggles. Thank you so much for supporting our school and our team, this is a huge asset to our season.”

• Full Bellies For Ballers

  Funded Feb 24, 2023

  Thank you so much for getting these snacks for our team. Many of our athletes do not have access to snacks for in between practices and school. These allowed us to give them a quick healthy snack to keep them full of energy. Our players build up quite a large appetite running up and down the court, so having access to snacks is a necessity. These snacks often have to come out of my own funds. This takes a large weight off of my back and will truly benefit our team. Thank you again for your generosity and I hope you have an amazing year.”

• Water for the Win

  Funded Mar 21, 2023

  Thank you so much for supporting our team with these water bottles. During practices and games the boys run a lot back and forth on the court. It is imperative that they stay hydrated so they can play their best. These water bottles are insulated. This allows the players to keep cold water on hand at all times. I also see some of them using these throughout the school day. I hate using a bunch of disposable water bottles, so these also help us produce a smaller amount of waste. Thank you again for your generosity and we hope you have an amazing year.”

• Snacks for Scoring

  Funded Jan 25, 2023

  Thank you so much for getting these snacks for our players. These boys work hard and build up huge appetites. These snacks go a long way toward making sure our players have a basic need met. It is imperative that every student, but especially athletes, have access to healthy snacks. I have too many players to purchase these on my own constantly. This donation has helped take a lot of the pressure off of me to provide these snacks. The variety is perfect to make sure that every player has something to fill their bellies. Thank you again for your generosity.”

• Building Better Basketball Players

  Funded Dec 21, 2022

  Thank you so much for your support of our team. These balls are perfect for helping the younger players learn how to use proper form when shooting. We were able to get a rim-funded that helps lower the rim for these younger players. Having the lower rim in conjunction with the smaller size balls is going to be a game changer while we teach these young players how to play. Starting them young will help us continue to build our program and change the way our players see themselves. Thank you again for your generosity.”

• Basketballs for Little Ballers

  Funded Sep 19, 2022

  Thank you so much for getting these smaller balls to help us develop our program. The only way to improve our team is by starting them young. There is not a strong youth recreational league in our area so this hurts our varsity sports. We hold clinics and camps for the younger players to try and bring them in. These balls will enable them to work on their form without being frustrated by not being able to hit the rim with the ball. Thank you again for your generosity and we hope you have the most amazing 2023.”

• Hijabs For Swimming

  Funded Oct 12, 2022

  Thank you so much for helping our team get these Hijabs and modest swimsuits. We have a very diverse population of students. There are many Muslim students who would like to participate These will enable us to make sure they can participate and not go against their religious beliefs. The hijabs can be pricey and traditional ones do not work in the pool or for dryland workouts. The swimsuits also enable them to stay covered with out having a lot of drag. Thank you so much for your generosity.”
