My Students

Located in an underprivileged neighborhood where most of the children are coming from economically disadvantaged households our students are very determined to be a changing factor in their community. Using basketball as a tool to motivate them to fulfill their status as student-athlete, and improve academically, these donations will help provide a quality program.

My students are ambitious, determined and hard resilient individuals who are eager for a new beginning.

My students are excited for this new sports program and are dedicated to being hard workers(as they attend practice for 1.5 hours before school time.)

My Project

Using basketball as a tool to motivate them to fulfill their status as student-athletes, and improve academically, these donations will help provide a quality program.

This will be a great opportunity for students who are interested in basketball to experience a team setting and also provide them with an incentive they enjoy.

Costly fees in combination with little to no access is the contributing factor that prohibits economically disadvantaged children the opportunity to participate in activities outside of school.Donating to "Balling Like Spalding", will help provide a quality basketball program for students to participate and compete at the elementary level."Balling Like Spalding" basketballs and game clock will enhance the overall experience , for our young athletes and will allow them to practice on the fundamental skills in basketball and compete. The practice equipment will assist in the facilitation to quality practice.
