Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Please donate to our football team's bag project. These bags will allow our team to keep their possessions together at school and when we travel to games. The bags will allow the team to have a sense of unity and pride when traveling.

We need travel bags to secure uniforms, belongings, and other items.

The fanny pack will allow our managers to have the necessary items ready as soon as we need them!

We play a minimum of 6 games a year. These bags will help to make sure that the team has everything they need in one convenient place. Please consider making a donation to our team.
