Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I love that my players show up everyday for practice wanting to learn the game of baseball. They unfortunately do not have the equipment needed. We are requesting a Pitching Machine with 2-Dozen Small-Balls, Baseball Bat, Baseballs, and more. They are good students in the classroom and want to excel on the athletic field. The donations will help ensure they can have a successful season and learn the game they love. The equipment will be used for years to come and will bring great joy and excitement to their faces. I look forward to making this season one they will remember forever and ever.
