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

We are excited to announce our fundraiser to support R. High School, a diverse, low-income population in need of essential sports equipment for our athletic teams. Our student-athletes are passionate about sports but lack the proper gear to practice effectively and safely. With your help, we can provide items such as basketballs, score sheets, training equipment, and more, ensuring our athletes have the tools they need to succeed both on and off the court. Your contribution will significantly impact these students, allowing them to develop their skills, build teamwork, and foster confidence.

Ms. Bricker Roosevelt High School Grades 9-12

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
