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

Help us get high quality basketballs! For the basketball team and PE class so kids can have a great time with the equipment they need. As a title one school in New York City, students do not always have access to healthy exercise options that they enjoy. One sport that is popular is basketball, but quality equipment is expensive and is something school budgets do not always have money for. This project will get high quality basketballs that will not wear out so quickly, so kids can enjoy through the years.
