Empower Future Leaders: South Florida FBLA Needs You

The University of South Florida (USF) chapter of Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) is seeking your support to send our talented and diverse students to the State Leadership Conference in Orlando (March 20-23) and the National Leadership Conference in Dallas (May 31-June 2). This incredible opportunity will allow them to compete in a variety of events, including the Emerging Business Issues, Entrepreneurship Pitch Competition, Finance Case Study, and more.

In addition to the competitions, students will have access to invaluable networking opportunities, workshops, and the chance to shadow professionals in the fields of accounting, hospitality, and business. These experiences will help them develop essential skills for their future careers and build relationships with industry leaders.

What We’re Fundraising For:

To ensure that all students can participate, we are raising funds to cover:

Conference Registration Fees

Hotel Accommodations

Daily Food Stipends

Travel Expenses

Our Immediate Goal:

We have set an immediate fundraising goal to cover these costs, with a deadline of February 20th. If we are unable to meet our goal by this date, each student will be responsible for covering these expenses out-of-pocket, which could amount to up to $250 for registration and hotel deposits and $350 for remaining hotel costs.

How You Can Help:

Donate: Every contribution, no matter the size, will help our students attend these conferences and make the most of this opportunity.

Share: Please help us spread the word about this campaign by sharing it with your friends, family, and social networks.

Support: If you know any businesses or individuals who would like to donate, we would be extremely grateful for their support.

These events are more than just competitions — they provide our students with hands-on experience, professional growth, and opportunities that will set them on the path to success.

Your support can make a real difference in helping them achieve their goals.

Thank you for investing in the future of these incredible students and helping them represent USF with pride!
