My Project

Our track team is more than just a group of runners; it’s a place where students learn discipline, teamwork, and resilience. We’re seeking donations to provide essential items of training/practice equipment ((agility ladder, cones, batons, socks)). These tools will help our athletes train safely, build confidence, and compete effectively. With proper gear, our students can focus on pushing their limits rather than worrying about the basics.

The goal of this project is to foster not just athletic excellence but personal growth.

Through track, our students learn to set goals, overcome challenges, and support one another—lessons that extend far beyond the field!

What makes our students special is their determination. Despite limited resources, they show up with passion and grit, ready to give their best. Your support will ensure these talented, hardworking individuals have the opportunities they deserve to succeed both on and off the track. Together, we can help them achieve their dreams, one stride at a time.
