Event Description

Make a Splash at The AED Foundation Fundraising Gala

Join us Monday, February 4 for The AED Foundation Fundraising Gala in Orlando. This year, the Gala will be taking place on site at the Orlando World Center Marriott.

The AED Foundation Fundraising Gala is an event specifically for generous supporters of The AED Foundation. It is the perfect time to bring your family, friends and partners together. Please join us for a spectacular evening, including dinner, open bar, live auction and entertainment. We will also be honoring an exceptional member for their commitment of support toward The AED Foundation with the Lester Heath Award.

Each year, The AED Foundation constructs pathways to opportunity for the construction equipment distribution industry with one goal in mind: to grow and develop support for our members. Last year, The AED Foundation was able to improve the availability of future industry employees by accrediting diesel-equipment technology college programs, advocating for greater federal investment and working to increase awareness and interest among school-age students.

Sales from this event help support The AED Foundation to enhance the success of AED member companies and will provide educational opportunities as well as improving the quality of available employees for their dealerships.

It is important to note that tickets to the Gala are tax deductible due to the fact that The AED Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) educational foundation.
