Albemarle High School FBLA
Send them to DC
Four student leaders have a place at the FBLA National Fall Leadership Conference in Washington, DC, this November. The cost is the only thing standing in their way.
The trip
What they bring home
FBLA is the largest business student organization in the world. The National Fall Leadership Conference gathers members from across the country at the Washington Hilton for three days of training. These students go to learn, and then they bring it back to Albemarle High School.
Executive workshops
Leadership, financial literacy and startup strategy, taught by people who do it for a living.
A national network
Peers, advisers and industry leaders from FBLA chapters across the country.
Back to Albemarle
Sharper competition skills and fresh ideas, shared with the whole chapter when they return.
Where the money goes
The budget, from the students' own proposal
| What | Cost | Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel | $308.58 a night | Lodging for the student team and the chapter adviser |
| Conference registration | $125 a person | Workshops, keynotes and conference events |
| Travel | $300 to $400 | The round trip to Washington, DC |
These figures come from the sponsorship proposal written by the chapter president. Any amount helps, and every dollar keeps the cost from falling on the students' families.
Thank you
Already on board
Everyone listed here asked to be named. Plenty of others gave quietly, and they count just as much.
Sponsor the trip

A business sponsorship is an investment in local youth and in the people who will run Central Virginia's companies one day. Tell the students you are interested and they will be in touch about how you would like to be thanked.

Questions
Good things to ask
Who are the students?
Four members of the Albemarle High School FBLA chapter, led by their chapter president and adviser. They are minors, so we are keeping their names and photos off this page.
Where does my gift go?
The donate button takes you to the official place to give, chosen by the chapter. If the button is not live yet, the club is still setting that up, and the sponsor form above is the way to say you want in.
Is it tax deductible?
That depends on how the chapter receives the money. Please ask before you count on it. This page does not promise it.
What if they raise more than they need?
The goal is the whole team's trip. Ask the chapter how any extra would be used before you give, if that matters to you.
Who made this page?
Roost Studio, a small studio in Crozet, built it as a gift. The students run the numbers, the asks and the thank yous themselves.
