My Project

Our school is a Title I school, and we want to make all sports and clubs inclusive for everyone. The use of sports bottles with cases gives the ability to use them for hydration before during and after training. The bottles will be for the use of water and sports drinks to aid in providing electrolytes, which is key for athletes to perform at their peak. Many of our students come from homes and places that do not offer proper sports or even have water bottles.

Funding this project will increase their chances at not only going further with sports but also remaining hydrated while playing sports.

With kids coming from all over, even some from third world countries, refugees, and immigrant students, our goal is to make sure they perform at the peak of their optimal ability to ensure them a brighter and longer future in sports and life. I coach football and I am a Physical Science teacher who understands the importance of drinking water and staying hydrated. These water bottles and cases will be vital for the school athletic program.
