My Project

Our girls volleyball team is a group of the most determined young ladies that I have had the privilege of coaching in years. They have had to face numerous adversity as teammates, several of them have had to face personal traumas. This is a true test of our team's dedications to becoming better athletes.

By providing our volleyball team with equipment like volleyballs, a ball cart, and inflators to improve their raw talent, your donation demonstrates to them that someone else truly cares about their well being.

Our team has continued to triumph, as they face adversities.

Coach L. Nicole Gillette will only receive their materials if this project is fully funded by Friday, May 9.
