On November 11, 2009, the Fort Lauderdale / Broward Chapter of The Association of Fundraising Professionals celebrated its 22nd Annual National Philanthropy Day Luncheon honoring individuals and organizations for their significant philanthropic contributions to our community.

Each November during National Philanthropy Week, the Fort Lauderdale/Broward Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals joins national and international colleagues to celebrate individuals and organizations that have dedicated themselves to philanthropy.

We host one of the oldest and largest National Philanthropy Day celebrations in the country, with over 700 attendees.

This year marked our 22nd celebration of National Philanthropy Day on Wednesday, November 11, 2009, at the Signature Grand. Community leaders, non-profit organizations, volunteers, and donors gathered to honor outstanding philanthropic leaders, who have invested their passion, time, talents, and financial support to better their community.

In addition to seven major awards, thirty-five not-for-profit organizations provided recognition to key volunteers and donors. Year after year, attendees have commented that they feel invigorated by the stories they hear.

Thank you to all of our National Philanthropy Day Sponsors
