Alexandria, VA – The American Floral Endowment (AFE) will hold its 42nd Annual Fundraising Dinner on September 13th from 6-9 p.m., at the Westin Mission Hills, during the Society of American Florist's Annual Convention in Palm Springs, California.
The theme of this year’s event “Shining Stars: Bright Future,” will shine attention on the sponsors and donors who support important floriculture research, student internship and scholarship programs, educational grants, and marketing studies on consumer trends and developments in the industry.
