My Project

Our fifth grade students try so hard at everything they do. These particular students have an interest in playing the sport of basketball and learning everything about it from the ground up. However, we do not have the proper equipment to facilitate this program. Please help the students be successful with brand new equipment to make this program thrive. Almost all of them do not get the opportunity to be coached properly or have the exposure to learn the fundamentals of a sport. outside organizations are very costly for them. Our CHAMPS program will give them This opportunity and with your help and your donation, I hope they learn to love it! I sincerely thank you in advance for helping us out.
