National Officers Spearhead Tornado/Disaster Relief Fund for FBLA-PBL Chapters
DONATE NOW! Every chapter is asked to contribute, no matter how small, to the FBLA-PBL Disaster Relief Fund. Help our fellow FBLA-PBL family members in need. Individual members and advisers are of course welcome to donate as well. Your support will help schools and universities rebuild their chapters and, in some cases, cover travel expenses to the NLC in Orlando this summer.

The FBLA-PBL National Officers are seeking your help to assist those chapters impacted by the recent tornadoes and flooding that swept through the Midwest and Southern United States.
It’s estimated that 173 tornadoes touched down in 24 hours, a new record for a single storm system in modern times. The death toll has surpassed 300 and continues to rise as the recovery efforts for victims continues. Hundreds more were seriously injured. The twisters rampaged cities like Tuscaloosa, AL; left thousands homeless and more than a million people without power; and destroyed many schools.
Along the Mississippi River, levees have been breached and farmlands inundated by rising flood waters, as thousands of people have been forced from their homes.
“When disaster strikes, FBLA-PBL acts quickly to donate time, money, and resources to help support the needs of our chapters and their communities,” said Jean M. Buckley, President and CEO. “Our thoughts are with our students, advisers, and the residents of these communities and we hope our efforts will aid in the recovery.”
