Welcome to My Rally Campaign

• My name is Jack Vierra and I am a Sports Managment major and lacrosse player at Wittenberg University in Ohio.
• I have recently had the fortune of being accepted into a program that sends students to Costa Rica to participate in sports management internships.
• The program's aim is to provide opportunities to college athletes who would not otherwise be able to participate in internships due to athletic obligations.

Why I'm Raising Funds

• Unfortunately the internship experience is not free of cost, so I will be using the money I raise to help pay for the initial fee of the program.
• The fee covers the costs of a homestay with local family, meals, two weekend adventure excursions, access to strength and conditioning workouts, all service-learning activities, and student health insurance through HTH Worldwide at Costa Rica's best hospital.

How I Got Here

• As someone who is pursuing a career in sports management, I began looking for internships for professional and minor league teams across the nation. I quickly found that sport internships that do not require a substantial amount of experience and do not overlap with my season was incredibly difficult.
• While I was sitting in the airport waiting to fly home for Winter Break, I received an email from my coach detailing an internship that neither required significant experience nor overlapped with lacrosse season, so I immediately began writing my application essays, and sent in my application during my layover later that day.
• Throughout the break I went through the application process, and was eventually accepted into the program a few days after I returned to school.
