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

Our school running club supports students in temporary housing who often face big challenges and lack basic resources. This project aims to give them running shoes, helping them stay active a key boost for their physical and mental health.

Staying active has a powerful impact.

It not only helps students do better in school but also builds their confidence and resilience. By supporting this project, you’re helping these students overcome obstacles and succeed in school and beyond.

Your generosity can make a lasting difference, giving these young people the strength and confidence to reach their potential.
