My Project

The items I have requested are essential to our girls improving on their performance last year. A new bat, and new gloves are items that our school can't purchase for us right now. Some of my girls rely on us for equipment, and unfortunately I can't buy everything myself, so I have to ask for your help.

Our girls come from various socio-economic backgrounds, and I want to make sure that nobody goes without, and I definitely don't want someone to leave the team because they are missing a vital piece of equipment.
