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

Our student athletes attend a Title I school, where many families face financial challenges and our athletic program works hard to provide students with the equipment they need to succeed. Football is more than a game for our students—it teaches teamwork, discipline, perseverance, responsibility, and pride.

This project will provide our football team with much-needed game-day footballs.

Having quality footballs available ensures our athletes can practice and compete with reliable equipment while allowing our program to focus its limited resources on other essential needs.

For many of our players, being part of the football team provides a sense of belonging, structure, motivation, and connection to their school. Your support will help ensure that financial limitations do not stand in the way of giving our student athletes the equipment they deserve.

With your help, our athletes can take the field prepared, confident, and ready to represent their school and community with pride—one snap at a time.
