Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In order to provide more consistent practice and match experiences for our players, the coaches of our boys' and girls' tennis teams are in the process of standardizing our lineup of backup and replacement tennis racquets. These racquets will be available to all of the team players that attend our practices and compete in our school's matches.

Your generous donation will help place Wilson Blade and Ultra tennis racquets in the hands of our players so that they can practice and compete even if they cannot afford a racquet of their own.

In addition, by adding these racquets to our lineup of replacement racquets, players will always be able to continue their matches--even when they break a string.
