The Central Florida Hotel & Lodging Association was proud to support Valencia College at their Foundation's Red, Black, and Boundless Gala last week.🎓✨

The evening celebrated Valencia College’s incredible 60 years of impact within our region and highlighted the achievements of its students and alumni. With over 200,000 alumni and an annual enrollment of nearly 70,000 students, the college continues to be a driving force for our regional success and helps to build our industry's workforce.

Additionally, for over thirty years CFHLA has partnered with Valencia College and supported the school’s Hospitality and Culinary programs. Thanks to the generosity of our members, we have contributed over $142,100 in gifts and in-kind contributions to the Valencia College Foundation and since 2001, the CFHLA Foundation has also awarded Valencia students over $209,250 in student scholarships. Furthermore, we've distributed $72,100 in scholarships to fully fund twelve employees completing Valencia’s Residential Maintenance or HVAC accelerated training programs.

Congratulations again to Valencia College President Dr. Kathleen Plinske, Dr. Carla McKnight, and Foundation Board Chair Sheri Torres for their leadership, hospitality, and partnership as we continue working together to support the future of hospitality and culinary education in Central Florida!
