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

With the start of this 2024-2025 season, my baseball players are hoping to have a good season for themselves and for our school. The opportunity to have new tools to develop our sport of baseball is becoming more and more difficult. With the increase in prices, our schools are increasingly struggling to provide the right tools to our players. This donation will be greatly appreciated by our athletes. this bat will give the opportunity to our players to have a better practice and a better competition in our district.

Thank you very much in advance.
