Send Our Award-Winning Students to Nationals

Help Our Award-Winning Students Compete Nationally in Animation!

We are thrilled to share some incredible news — six of our talented students recently competed in the FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) State Leadership Conference and three of them won 1st place in Animation at the state level!

Now, they’ve earned the amazing opportunity to compete at the National Leadership Conference in Anaheim, California this June — a once-in-a-lifetime chance to represent Valley Vista Highschool, Maricopa County, and our beautiful state of Arizona, showcasing their creativity on a national stage, and open doors to future careers in animation, film, and digital media.

But to get there, we need your help.

Excursions and trip necessities for six students and their chaperones add up quickly. Our goal is to raise $4,500.00 to ensure every student who earned this opportunity can attend without financial barriers.

**Update**

We are happy to announce that the school has made plans to cover lodging and airfare for the trip. At the moment we are solidifying making sure these kids get the best and full experience possible. Your donations will ensure that any child not able to cover their end to attend is covered as well as the plan to have them to attend excursions that they would not have had possible if it weren't for all of you amazing donors.

These students have worked tirelessly, not only honing their animation skills but also learning how to collaborate, problem-solve, and present their work professionally — key values of FBLA’s mission.

Your donation will directly support:

No amount is too small — every dollar helps get us one step closer to Anaheim!

If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign with friends, family, and community members. Together, we can make this dream a reality for these dedicated young creators.

Thank you for supporting the next generation of leaders, artists, and innovators!
