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 softball girls play at a Bronx public high school where students don't tend to be funded with the equipment to advance their skillset in the sport.

I have a very diverse group of girls who enjoy and love the sport by committing so much of their time while keeping their grades up.

The girls are always coming up with ideas for fundraisers to help not only their own team but other causes as well, such as autism awareness. Help me give my students the upgraded equipment that they need to succeed. By helping to fund our team, you will help these girls overcome many of the obstacles that they face being an underfunded sports team in the Bronx.
