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 am reaching out to ask for your support in helping our student-athletes receive basketball equipment. Your generous donations will provide essential gear for our team. I created this project in hopes of engaging our kids more and giving these talented young athletes the opportunity to grow, compete, and develop both on and off the court. This funding will help us purchase the following: Defensive Mannequin, HOOPS-KING Off Hand Shooting Aid ), The Official D-Slide Basketball Training Equipment, Padded Blocking Guards, and the Crown x Starr Basketball Shooting Off Hand Trainer. By contributing, you will not only help our students build teamwork and discipline, but also inspire them to pursue their dreams and goals with confidence. Any amount you can give will make a significant difference in their journey, and we are deeply grateful for your consideration and generosity.

Thank you for your support!
