Each day from Dec. 14 through Dec. 25, GOOD Sports will feature a worthy school athletic program in need of funding.
Mr. Sumter teaches emotionally-disturbed students at Ittleson Day Treatment in the Bronx, a New York City neighborhood where at-risk children are routinely exposed to drugs, gangs, and violence. Sumter uses extracurricular activities like track and field to keep students off the streets.
Due to limited funding and a student body made up of students from low-income households, the team cannot afford running shirts and shorts. Sumter turned to DonorsChoose.org to raise $1,688 for uniforms for his students. At the time this story was posted, he was $594 away from his goal. Sumter explains:
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.
