My name is Jack Buckley, I am originally from Elmhurst, Illinois. I attended York Community Highschool where I played Varsity lacrosse and hockey. I was fortunate to continue my academics and athletics post high school when I committed to play Division I lacrosse at Siena College in Albany, New York. While I was at Siena College my teammates and I were able to bring home two Saints Cup community service awards, and in my senior year I was awarded the Iron Saint award, given to the athlete that works the hardest off the field and in the weight room. These are two accolades I am very proud of. <br><br> Post college I continued my athletics by playing semi-professional box lacrosse with the Chicago Portagers. This was a great opportunity to continue to play at a competitive level and create new relationships out of school. However, after three seasons I have hung up the cleats and look to give back to the athletic and academic community. At Vertical Raise I look forward to helping as many high schools as possible, around the area I grew up in, raise money for all their program needs."
