AFE\u2019s 2012 fundraising dinner, held Sept. 20, 2012 at SAF\u2019s Annual Convention<\/a><\/strong> in Palm Beach, was more than your average fundraising dinner.
In addition to donor recognitions, networking and the opportunity for industry members to show their support for AFE, one special presentation made the night a \u201cone in a million\u201d event for the 200-plus AFE supporters at the dinner.
Teleflora and AFE Chairman Tom Butler, along with Teleflora President Jeff Bennett and Executive Vice President Jack Howard, presented AFE and incoming AFE Chairman Paul Bachman of Bachman\u2019s Inc., with a $1 million check on behalf of Teleflora and owners Stewart and Lynda Resnick.
\u201cFor many years, Teleflora has been a proud supporter of the American Floral Endowment,\u201d said Bennett. \u201cWe believe in the research and educational efforts of AFE, and know that this work has and will continue to advance and improve our industry. Stewart and Lynda Resnick acquired Teleflora in 1979, and since then, Teleflora has been supporting the Endowment with yearly contributions.\u201d
The $1 million donation is the largest in AFE history and establishes the Teleflora Fund. This Fund will be unrestricted so that AFE can increase annual funding for special projects or additional research.
\u201cThis couldn\u2019t have come at a better time,\u201d said Butler who is completing his two-year term as AFE\u2019s Chairman. \u201cFor more than 50 years, AFE has been working to address critical industry problems by funding research and scholarships \u2013 and on behalf of the AFE Board of Trustees we are thrilled and grateful to receive this most generous donation.\u201d
