📣 FBLA Nationals Conference UPDATE 📣
We’re thrilled to share that Chloe is now 100% funded to attend the National FBLA Conference! 🎉🙌 A huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported her through donations and fundraisers. We couldn’t have done it without you!
Now, we’re shifting our focus to help FBLA Adviser Mr. Travisray Salyers join Chloe at the conference. While the priority was getting Chloe there first, Mr. Salyers is currently only 6% funded and needs your support to cover his $2,554 cost.
💡 How You Can Help 💡
There are two easy and delicious ways to support:
🍪 Eileen’s Colossal Cookies - Cookie Dough Fundraiser
🍕 Papa Murphy’s Pizza Fundraiser
📸 Check the attached images for details!
To place an order, email salyers@usd454.net or message Mr. Salyers directly. Payment is due when you order, and he’ll work with you on the best way to collect the funds.
💻 Prefer to donate directly?
Head to the Burlingame USD 454 website (the same place you pay school fees) and select FBLA SPONSORSHIP from the drop-down menu (it’s at the bottom).
