My Project

The Wolves Track Team is on the rise! With 55 dedicated student-athletes, our team is larger and stronger than ever. These young runners are pushing their limits and achieving incredible milestones, including a Silver medalist in Long Jump and a record-breaking 4x1 relay team.

To help our athletes perform at their best, we’re raising funds for reusable water bottles and long-sleeve shirts for practices and workouts.

Hydration is essential for both safety and performance, and providing each athlete with their own water bottle ensures they stay healthy and refreshed. The long-sleeve shirts will give them the proper gear to train comfortably in cooler weather, boosting their confidence and team spirit.

Our team is completely self-funded, so we rely on the support of generous donors like you. Your contribution will allow us to give our athletes the essentials they need to train effectively, stay motivated, and feel like a united team.

By supporting this project, you’re helping us build more than just strong runners—you’re helping develop determined, disciplined, and resilient young leaders. Every donation makes a direct impact, keeping our athletes hydrated, comfortable, and ready to compete. We will be buying measuring tape, running speed chute, replacement spikes, and a backpack

Thank you for believing in our Wolves and investing in their success!
