The East Harlem Pride football program, consisting of 5 small schools in the area, is entering its third season as a full varsity and junior varsity program in New York City, one of just four in all of Manhattan.   We are working hard to provide as many young men as possible with a positive athletic experience and an opportunity to learn about themselves through hard work, teamwork, and competition. Last year, we were able to service over 60 student-athletes.  With the numbers of student-athletes increasing each year, the demand for resources and equipment continues to grow. Our goal for this upcoming season is to raise $10,000 in order to successfully operate all aspects of a football program such as equipment, buses, uniforms, and staffing. We are creating an environment where our students can feel good about themselves, proud, accomplished, and positive so that they can walk around with their chest out and chin held high. Each year we are asked to to do more with less.  We ask you to support our program in any way possible. Any and all support is greatly appreciated by our athletes and the entire school community.
