Funding Highschool Sports

Help me give my students workout bands and medicine balls and athletic equipment

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Phillips's classroom raised $489

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students come from some of the poorest neighborhoods in Jackson, MS but are some of the most dedicated and determined individuals I have ever come across. Eager to learn and willing to reach new levels. I know with just a little help and support we can reach new levels of greatness

My Project

My project may be a little different from the ones that are usually funded. I am the head track coach at Lanier High School and this is my second year coaching this talented group of young men.

Even though these young men train hard and are dedicated, we still lack the proper equipment to train these young athletes for the next level in the athletic careers.

I have been searching and trying to come up with ways to get funded to get these guys some quality training equipment. I know that with the proper workout equipment and tools I can easily turn my boys into those D1 college athletes that I know they can be.

Any funding would help me and my team and everything is greatly appreciated.
