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

My name is Coach Nicholson. I am a second year head coach for the softball team. I coach a special group of young ladies, and as their coach, I want to ensure they have exactly what they need to succeed. I decided to make a DonorsChoose project because the girls on my team deserve the opportunity to grow and learn the game with basic equipment. Not every young lady has money to afford equipment, and that’s the last thing I want them to worry about. Thanks in advance for your help.
