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

Midway through our spring softball season, our pitching machine finally pitched its last softball. We replaced that machine with a lesser quality machine which has not lived up to its promise. We don't want this to stop our momentum as we continue to compete in softball tournaments. We want to continue to practice swinging for the fences! We are requesting the same pitching machine that we lost that season. This would give my athletes in softball the opportunity to keep swinging hard in our batting cage. The softball gloves also requested will replace those that have been lost or broken.

Donating to this project will help my young athletes gain confidence, determination, and self-esteem, becoming successful leaders and team builders in all that they do.

They will share a culture that emphasizes pride and team spirit, building friendships with other kids from nearly a dozen area schools.
