Dear friends and family,

I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to represent USA Division III Volleyball on a select-only team traveling to Brazil this summer! This 10-day tour will include four matches against Brazilian teams, volunteering for youth clinics, visits to schools, as well as other educational, social, and cultural outreach experiences in the communities we visit. I am so excited to immerse myself in Brazil’s culture, connect with teammates from all over the country, and embrace this incredible opportunity to grow both as an athlete and as a person.

Playing for UW Oshkosh has been an amazing experience, and I am so thankful for everything volleyball has brought into my life, the friendships, the lessons, and the unforgettable memories. This sport has shaped me in so many ways, and I couldn’t be more excited for this once-in-a-lifetime chance to compete internationally and represent Team USA Division III Volleyball.

This is a select team, yet I am responsible for covering all costs associated with the trip. I would be incredibly grateful if you would consider supporting this amazing opportunity by contributing to my GoFundMe. Any amount is deeply appreciated. Thank you so much for your generosity and support!

With gratitude,

Lauren Grier
