About us...

We are all Virginia State winners in our Future Business Leaders of America organization and students in Virginia Beach.  We have been in a program the past 2 years to teach us about Information Technology and Cyber Security skills.

We are eligible to compete at a National level in Chicago IL this June, but our Federal funding was abruptly stopped and our division has no local funds to support our continued education and progress.

Your contribution will help us improve our knowledge and abilities in the areas of:

  • Cyber Security (Information Assurance)
  • Networking Design
  • Databases
  • Project Management
  • Teamwork & Leadership
  • Business Planning and Project Development
Your contributions will help us pay for the airfare, hotel and conference registration fees.  We will be able to take part in educational workshops as well as competing against students from around the country.  This will allow us to improve our IT and Business skills and validate our education.

The Costs

  • Registration:  105 pp
  • Hotel:  900 for a room of 4 individuals
  • Airfare - approx 350-400pp. 
Any money raised will go to above costs.  Any additional funds will help us with food expenses, or we will reserve for next year's competitors at our school

The Impact

The need for trained Cyber Security individuals is strong.  Our ability to compete here will allow us to grow and improve so we can pursue careers in these fields and be productive members of society.

Risks & Challenges

We are trying to do local fundraisers, but our time is limited with deadlines to register and obtain affordable airfare.  We just won at the State Level last week so we had limited time to prepare for this opportunity.

Other Ways You Can Help

  • Please donate whatever you can, ask your friends, neighbors, co-workers and businesses to help support us!  We are 6 high school students with great promise and potential, we just need solid community support!
  • Use your social media and the Indiegogo share tools to help us spread the word!

We thank you so much for your support!
