My Project

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to read about my project. I am a health/physical education teacher. We recently changed the name of the school to be more about the Community and “Raise Above” the other schools in the district. Our middle school is the second largest in the city of Philadelphia.

I am starting this fundraiser to support the “NEW” co-ed soccer team at my school and to use the equipment in our physical education program.

This upcoming year we will be playing against other co-ed teams in the Philadelphia School District. Your well-appreciated donations will go directly to the soccer team and physical education program. As a new program, we need a lot of help. We need equipment, goalie gloves, jerseys.

The look on their faces will be priceless if this donation is completed. Thank you for taking the time to read and possibly donating to my passion, which is Coaching and teaching the youth of Philadelphia.
