My Project

This year is incredibly special for us because it marks the first year that flag football is a sanctioned high school sport in Illinois. As the coach of our high school girls' flag football team, I'm beyond excited to help these talented young athletes embark on this new journey. However, to ensure we meet state regulations, we urgently need mouth guards and footballs. Mouth guards are important for protecting our players from injury. Footballs are needed to enable us to conduct more effective training sessions, giving each player the practice time they need to improve their skills, boost their teamwork, and build their confidence.

These young athletes are not just learning a new sport; they are trailblazing a path for future generations of girls in flag football.

By supporting this project, you're not only providing essential equipment but also investing in the dreams and potential of these amazing young women. Your generosity will help them make the most of this historic season and foster a lifelong love for the sport. Thank you so much for helping us make a difference!
