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 students are passionate, hardworking, and full of potential. They bring an unmatched energy to every practice, striving to improve not just as athletes but as individuals. Despite the challenges many of them face in their daily lives, they show up with determination, ready to learn, grow, and support one another. For them, softball isn’t just a game, it’s a place to build confidence, find community, and discover their strengths.

The resources I’m requesting—softball equipment bags and a circular agility ladder—will make a big difference in their development.

The equipment bags will help my players stay organized and take pride in their gear, teaching responsibility while fostering a sense of unity and professionalism. The circular agility ladder will improve their speed, coordination, and balance, critical skills for success on the field. These tools will allow us to run more effective practices and help my students reach new levels of performance.

My goal for this project is to provide my players with the resources they need to grow, both as athletes and as individuals. Having high-quality equipment will boost their confidence and show them that their efforts matter.

What makes my students truly special is their drive to overcome obstacles and their love for the game. Softball is more than a sport for them, it’s a lifeline and a source of empowerment. With your support, we can give these young athletes the tools to succeed and help them continue to build skills that will serve them well beyond the field. Thank you for helping us make this vision a reality!
