My Project

This project will fund new basketball equipment for students who rely on basketball for both emotional stability and new opportunities. For many of my students, basketball isn’t just a sport—it’s a powerful tool for building confidence, developing social skills, and managing emotions. This project will make a direct and lasting impact by providing new equipment and ensuring my students continue to find strength and growth through basketball.

This project will fund an opportunity for my students to excel not only physically but also develop key life skills that will benefit them far beyond the court.

With new equipment, my students will have the tools they need to continue finding strength, resilience, and personal growth, allowing them to face challenges with confidence and determination.
