Worthy Cause Countdown: Help This South Florida Baseball Team Buy Uniforms

Each day from Dec. 14 through Dec. 25, GOOD Sports will feature a worthy school athletic program in need of funding.

Immokalee is a small farming town in southern Florida. Nearly 94% of students attending its Title I Immokalee High School are from households with incomes low enough to qualify them for free or reduced-price school lunches.

Despite a lack of funding, Immokalee High teacher Ethan Striz is determined to provide the students with a baseball team.

Because his students cannot afford to purchase their own athletic equipment, Striz has turned to DonorsChoose.org to raise $822 for practice gear. At the time this story was posted, the team was $577 short of their goal. Striz says:

Please consider supporting this project or another school athletic program in need.

 

Editor’s note: Some projects listed on DonorsChoose.org have donations matched by Dick’s Sporting Goods, which is a non-editorial presenting partner of GOOD Sports.
