Donors Choose - A Match from ESPN

I recently put a project for 50 new volleyballs on a website called Donors Choose. HS players were given information regarding the 40 volleyballs that were already received through Donors Choose at the end of the season. We paid only $500 for $1200 in volleyballs. Donors Choose is a neat way to get additional funding for items through generous donors. If you'd like information about what Donors Choose is click here for the information regarding what it is and here for the information regarding how it works.

The current items on Donors Choose would cost us over $2,000. ESPN has generously matched half of the cost already. We will be working at getting the additional $1,002 through donors around the world. If you are interested in donating, sharing, or just seeing the project, you can see it by visiting: http://www.donorschoose.org/project/keep-bumping-keep-setting-keep-spiking/1402307/?challengeid=332533. The match from ESPN is only good if the project funds. Sometimes their matching money runs out before a project is funded. We'll be working hard to get it funded before that happens. All donations made through Donors Choose are tax deductible.

You do not need to donate anything. We are simply making you aware of a really neat opportunity!
