Hey everyone!
I’ve been accepted into The University of Pennsylvania's Wharton’s School of Business Youth Summer Program! The Sports Business Academy is a huge opportunity for me, especially as I’m getting ready for exploring colleges.
This program focuses on the business side of sports- how teams, leagues, and organizations actually operate behind the scenes. At this point in my journey, learning this side of the industry is really important. It helps me go into college with clarity, direction, and real-world context, not just as a fan or athlete, but as someone who understands how the industry works.
One of the biggest benefits is the connections. The program puts you in rooms with professionals and mentors who are actively working in sports business, and those relationships matter, especially early on. The exposure and network from Wharton can open doors that are hard to access otherwise.
I’m raising $4,800 to cover the remaining costs so I can attend. I need to make payment by 5/1 to secure my seat! I appreciate any help!
Anything helps, whether it’s donating or sharing this page. I really appreciate the support as I take this next step.
Jared
