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

Our girls' basketball team is eager to develop their skills, teamwork, and confidence, but they need the right tools to succeed. Your donation will help us provide essential equipment like basketballs, training gear, and uniforms, giving our players the resources they need to improve on the court. With your support, our athletes will gain the confidence to push themselves, develop key skills, and grow as both players and leaders—empowering them to achieve their full potential and succeed on and off the court. Our goal this season is to build a strong, supportive team environment where every player feels empowered to grow, both as an athlete and as an individual. We aim to improve our skills in every aspect of the game—ball handling, shooting, defense, and teamwork—while developing a winning mindset that values hard work, sportsmanship, and leadership. Together, we will strive for excellence, both on the court and in our community, supporting each other and achieving success as a united team.
