Help me give my students a new basketball hoop to practice on!
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Sherman's classroom raised $1,761
This project is fully funded
My Project
My school does not have a traditional gymnasium for our high school students. Specifically, this is a great issue when it comes to our basketball team.
The basketball team is constantly struggling to find space to practice.
Whether it’s at the park on warmer days or a local boys and girls club, the coach is always scrambling to provide enough time for students to play with a basketball hoop.
A basketball hoop such as the one in my project will allow the team to be able to practice right after school in their own gym.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
