Happy Heavenly Birthday to our Founding Chairman & Chief Financial Officer, Dennis W. Hall. 💙

Today, we celebrate the life, legacy, and enduring impact of a man whose vision helped lay the foundation for the United Foundation of Central Florida and the Future Leaders United Program.

Mr. Hall believed that leadership was measured not by titles, but by service. He poured his heart into strengthening families, mentoring young people, and building communities where others saw barriers. As a Founding Board Member, Chairman, and CFO, his wisdom, integrity, and unwavering commitment continue to guide our mission every day.

Beyond his leadership, he was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, mentor, and friend. His greatest joy came from serving others and investing in the next generation, leaving behind a legacy that will continue to inspire lives for years to come.

On what would have been his 81st birthday, we honor a life well lived and a legacy that continues to echo through every family we serve, every young leader we empower, and every community we strengthen.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Mr. Dennis W. Hall. Your work continues. Your legacy lives on. 💙

Empowering Communities One Family at a Time.

Our Future Leaders United students had an incredible opportunity this past April to attend the Eightville: Teach Students Money Expo, where they explored real-world financial literacy through hands-on learning and interactive experiences designed to prepare them for adulthood.

A huge thank you to for creating such an impactful event and for your unwavering commitment to equipping the next generation with the financial knowledge they need to succeed. Opportunities like these empower students to make informed decisions about budgeting, saving, investing, credit, and long-term financial independence.

At United Foundation of Central Florida, we believe that financial literacy is one of the most powerful tools we can give young people. When we invest in their financial education today, we help build stronger families, stronger communities, and a stronger future tomorrow.

Thank you again, , for investing in our youth. We look forward to continuing to work together to prepare tomorrow’s leaders.

Earlier this month, CEO Sandra Fatmi-Hall and CRO/First Vice President Julien Serrano-O’Neil had the privilege of joining educators, administrators, and community leaders for an important conversation on the transformative power of the Community Partnership School model at UCF’s Downtown Campus.

They shared how community-based programs like the , wraparound services, and school administrators can create meaningful, long-term impact for students, families, and neighborhoods throughout Pine Hills and Greater Orlando. Strong schools create strong communities, and when schools, nonprofits, families, and community partners work together, the possibilities are endless.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Mr. Jarvis Wheeler of Lift Orlando, formerly of the Evans Community Partnership School and Children’s Home Society of Florida, for his leadership, advocacy, and commitment to ensuring that every child and family has access to the resources they need to thrive.

It was inspiring to connect with the dedicated educators and administrators who will be serving at Community Partnership Schools across Orange County Public Schools. We look forward to continuing this important work together as we build stronger schools, stronger families, and stronger communities.
