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

Our middle school baseball season is about to begin. We are the defending Bronx champions and are looking to win the entire city this year! We graduated 7 students who are now playing high school baseball and are continuing to grow our program to benefit as many players as possible.

Your donation will enable us to equip our team with bats, baseballs, and catcher gear this season!

We play in a wood-bat league so are constantly in need of new bats and equipment.

We are extremely excited to get on the field this season!
