More than 1,200 City employees participated in the 2011 fundraiser, surpassing the $400,000 goal.

“The Workplace Giving Campaign is one of the many ways City employees show their commitment to the community and give back,” said Mayor Buddy Dyer. “I was extremely impressed by the dedicated hard working members of our City family, who this year, broke all records for charitable giving at City Hall. Through their monetary contributions, our employees are helping address some of the most critical issues facing Central Florida.”
