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

My middle school baseball team in the Bronx is looking for our student athletes to get the necessary training equipment to get ready for the upcoming season and even beyond. We are looking to get a batting cage, baseballs and a pitching machine for our players which would help them get the practice time hitting and gain confidence needed. Our players have never experience such luxury of hitting during practice in a cage and this would help them tremendously. My players would be so happy to have such great equipment in order to get ready for the new season.

I know that my players are beyond thankful to those who are generous with helping out their needs in order to become the best student athletes on and off the field.

We as a middle school baseball team cannot thank you enough for the generosity you can provide! Thank you!
