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

By donating to our program you will be giving inner city kids the ability to learn how to play golf and giving them a sport they can participate in for a lifetime! Our students do not have the opportunity to go outside to a driving range or golf course. They don't have enough money to take lessons. They don't have rides to get to the golf course. Many students will benefit by learning a new sport that can get them outside in nature and walking to improve their cardiovascular fitness. My students have special needs because their families can't afford to teach them and take them golfing.
