THE FOUNDATION | July 2026

A Night of Impact, presented by Orlando Health, is our annual Foundation Gala which gives guests the red-carpet treatment while raising funds to support amazing programs in Seminole County Public Schools. The event will take place on Saturday, October 10th at the Orlando Marriott Lake Mary and will include an exciting auction, dinner, a look into programs within our schools, and much more. This is a great way to see the impact your donations make to students while networking with business leaders and school district leadership.

Funds raised at this event support school and district programs in the areas of STEM, scholarships, visual and performing arts, essential supplies for students and more.

Seminole County Public Schools recently welcomed 200 new teachers at the annual New Educator Conference, a dynamic two-day event designed to prepare educators for a successful upcoming school year. The comprehensive training sessions focused on equipping these fresh faces with the skills, resources, and insights needed to thrive in their classrooms and foster student achievement from day one.

To kick off their journey, Foundation staff greeted the new educators with custom Teacher Toolkit bags filled with essential classroom supplies. Sourced directly from the Tools 4 Seminole Schools store, each bag was packed with daily necessities, including a ream of paper, hand sanitizer, pens, tape dispensers, and staplers. This warm welcome and investment in teacher success was made possible through the generous support of Addition Financial Credit Union, which served as the event's presenting sponsor.
