Oklahoma City Thunder

Oklahoma City, OK 73102
Dear Ms. Smith,
Through the Center for Student Professional Development at Temple University, I recently learned about the open Community Relations Intern position at the Oklahoma City Thunder. I am a junior marketing major at the Fox School of Business. My event planning and inventory management experience make me an excellent candidate for this position.
I have a strong background in running charity events from serving as my fraternity’s philanthropy chair. My role was to coordinate quarterly events benefitting the Children’s Hospital of Oklahoma University. My duties included booking the venue, food, and entertainment; marketing the event; managing the RSVP’s; delegating to and managing volunteers; and managing donations. Over eight events, I increased our fraternity’s participation and our annual total dollar amount donated by over 25%. My knowledge can help the Thunder organize events that will help both the team and local organizations in need.
I have a solid foundation in managing inventory from working as a concession stand manager at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. At each OKC Dodgers game, my team and I served over 1,000 fans approximately $15,000 worth of food and beverages. I tracked and managed inventory by logging each day’s sales in a spreadsheet that I then analyzed to identify trends and shortages to facilitate in reordering supplies and forecasting the next game’s sales. My experience will allow me to manage donations and inventory with minimal training.
My business education, combined with my experience in event planning and managing inventory, make me a great fit for the Community Relations Internship. I look forward to hearing from you to further discuss how my experiences can benefit the Thunder. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Jack Jones
