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

The Stingray Athletics program is constantly growing and evolving. For the last 3 years we have been working on not only expanding sports to all ages, but also offering a wider variety of sports every year.

This year we introduced baseball and soccer to the students at the cove and have been able to reach even more athletes than ever before.

Our school sports programs are flourishing and we are now able to attract so many more student athletes because of everything we have to offer.

The items we are requesting are to help us continue to expand our program. For instance, the baseball equipment is typically very expensive and we have been spending funds to go to outside facilities in order to train. Having our own batting cage and pitching machine would help us alleviate the cost in baseball. The volleyballs and setting equipment will help us expand the program to our new baby rays volleyball teams.
