Ideas for fundraisers taken from the past: bagel sales, pizza sales, bake sales, etc. As members to the club, we have fun while raising money so we can help others and be able to experience awesome places like New York and San Francisco!  Why Should You Join?  PBL is an amazing student organization that can provide you great opportunities to prepare for your career and help you network with future employers.
