Volunteer Florida thanks our sponsors, whose generous support makes it possible for us to continue serving Florida's communities and making the state a better place to live. Our sponsors provide support for the governor’s special initiatives, such as the Governor’s Shine Award, Governor’s Veterans Service Award and the Champion of Service Award. Sponsors also provide critical donations to the Florida Disaster Fund, which aids Floridians impacted by disasters, like Hurricanes Irma and Michael.
