THE FOUNDATION | August 2025

A Night of Impact, presented by Orlando Health, is quickly approaching! Join us on Saturday, October 18th at the Orlando Marriott Lake Mary for an unforgettable evening that gives guests the red-carpet treatment while raising vital funds for Seminole County Public Schools. This incredible night will feature an exciting auction, dinner, and an inside look at the life-changing programs your support makes possible.

The need to help our students and be a reliable resource to our teachers is stronger than ever as costs for school supplies and basic essentials are on the rise. Proceeds from this event go directly toward helping students in need, enhancing career/tech education programs, providing teacher grants, and more to ensure that every student has the tools they need to succeed.

Secure your spot today! Seats and sponsorships are filling quickly and you won't want to miss out on this opportunity to support our students and teachers!

Our Tools 4 Seminole Schools' Annual Supply Drive is running now through September 15th.

Here are some easy ways to help:

• Organize a traditional supply drive collecting school supplies at your business.
• Participate in our Virtual Supply Drive.
• Make a financial donation and we'll leverage funds to purchase supplies at deep discounts.
