Annually, the Central Florida Hotel and Lodging Association conducts fundraising for hospitality student scholarships and grants through the CFHLA Gives program. A portion of this program features an “MVP” Committee comprised of 28 CFHLA members, all tasked with collecting donations for an online auction. Through their efforts, CFHLA earned over $165,000 for local hospitality students and schools.
CFHLA awarded 5 hospitality student scholarships and 7 educational grants at the CFHLA Gives Luncheon on April 25 at the DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando.
