Take A Look Inside the 2022 CFJWJ Art and Awards Show Ceremony!
Our 2022 Art Show and Awards Celebration was nothing short of captivating. As community leaders from across Central Florida gathered underneath the moonlight, our coalition was reaffirmed of one vital truth: together we are more powerful than we could ever be alone. In reflecting upon the arduous challenges we collectively faced this year, we not only experienced moments of growth, but of endearment and care - and that made our victories all the more rewarding.
We want to congratulate everybody who was honored with an I'll Be There, Art of Solidarity, and Treston Davis-Faulker award. Groups and individuals like Starbucks Workers United, Florida Access Network, and Denise Diaz have inspired an entire generation of leaders who now walk on a solid foundation to organize and win on behalf of workers and frontline communities.
In continuing this fight, we are eager to announce that our 2022 Scrooge of the Year is none other than Christina Pappas, President of the Florida Association of Realtors. No one was more deserving this year than the person who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to block Orange County tenants from voting on rent stabilization during a housing state of emergency.
Through your generosity, we were able to fundraise our highest total yet! In ticket sales, sponsors, bidding, and donations we raised a total of: $41,540!
We couldn't have done that without supporters YOU 🙌🏽
