State and National Service Projects

Virginia FBLA-PBL Foundation
Having earned status as lifetime member of the FBLA-PBL Foundation, the Phi Rho Chapter continues to make an annual financial contribution in the hopes of reducing the financial burden of National competition not only for our own members but for all Virginia competitors.

 

Trash Pick-Up
The Phi Rho Chapter has "adopted" a stretch of Virginia Route 11, and arranges several times per school year to spend a day picking up trash on this highway. Not only is this a valuable service activity, it is also an opportunity for the members to get to know one another outside of school and have fun serving the community.

 

American Red Cross Bloodmobile
The Phi Rho Chapter sponsors a Bloodmobile for the American Red Cross during the Spring semester. This event is highly publicized around campus and in the community, and Chapter members assist the Red Cross in administering the Bloodmobile.
