The American Floral Endowment (AFE) will hold its annual fundraising dinner on Thursday, September 20, 2012 in Palm Beach, Fl. at the SAF convention. Please note, in previous years, the AFE fundraising dinner has taken place on Wednesday, but it has been moved to Thursday this year.
The annual fundraising dinner pays tribute to the generous industry members and organizations that have supported AFE. Over 150 industry members are expected to attend the dinner, which will be hosted by Tom Butler, Chairman of Teleflora and AFE’s Board of Trustees and Paul Bachman, of Bachman’s and AFE’s Chairman-Elect.
The success of the event is due largely to our sponsors who lend their names and financial support to the event. Sponsorships help AFE offset the fundraising dinner expenses, allowing more funding for research, grants and scholarships.phillipbell
AFE needs your support now more than ever. The research and scholarships that AFE funds helps all segments of the industry thrive, and we need your support to continue the great work! Past AFE research has led to vital advancements such as the invention of the cold chain and techniques for improving the vase life of flowers.
