Worthy Cause Countdown: Help This Softball Team Raise $180 For Equipment

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

David Osborne, a math teacher at Jasper High School in Jasper, Missouri, also coaches the school softball team. The school serves a rural community of roughly 1,000 blue-collar citizens, and more than half of the students come from low-income households.

The athletic programs lack the funds for proper equipment, so Osborne has turned to DonorsChoose.org in hopes of raising the $242 needed to supply the team with weighted balls, a net, and a bag.

As Osbourne explains:

At the time this story was posted, the team was $180 short of their goal.

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.
