Charities
Each year the CFWL chooses different Orlando-based charities on which to focus. Along with fundraising efforts on behalf of the chosen charities,League members interact with those charities to aid individuals and other community groups in need of assistance. Due to the amazing synergy of the League and its members, we have contributed approximately $2 Million to various charities.
