The funds raised in the past several months will enable us to make a difference for thousands of Central Floridians.” Leading workplace giving was Walt Disney World, Publix and Lockheed Martin, which were all honored as “Million Dollar Community Champions.” Walt Disney World raised $3.4 million among its cast members and corporate resources.
