I’m so proud to share that Mateo has earned a spot to attend the 2026 FBLA National Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas—an incredible honor that reflects months of hard work, dedication, and teamwork. Alongside his team, he will be representing the state of Maryland on a national stage. This opportunity is truly once-in-a-lifetime. It allows students like Mateo to grow as leaders, build confidence, and connect with peers from across the country who share the same drive and ambition.

We are currently working to raise funds to help cover the cost of travel, lodging, and conference expenses. As a family, we are doing everything we can to make this possible, but we would be so grateful for any support. No donation is too small—every contribution brings Mateo one step closer to this amazing opportunity.

If you are able to help or share this with others, it would mean so much to our family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, encouragement, and support.
