My Project

As a first year Physical Education teacher in a Title I school in NYC, we do not have all the appropriate equipment that we need. We are looking to give our students the best basketball unit by purchasing these items. Our Pre-K-5th Grade students do not have the appropriate hoops and balls that they need to have the most success. With these items we will be able to teach them the skills that they need to play basketball and be successful. Help us give our students the best basketball unit ever with new basketball equipment like portable hoops with backboards, and basketballs! Our students love to play basketball in the park after school hours and we would love to help them enhance their skills with these items.

We would appreciate your support in helping our student-athletes grow in the game of basketball.

Thank you for your support in supporting our student-athletes and our school!
