Community - Good Apples by Appleton Creative
We work here. We play here. We live here. Our Orlando community is important to us, and we believe in giving back and nourishing it to help it flourish.
Appleton Awareness Gallery
Appleton designed the Appleton Awareness Gallery within our offices as a way to bring attention to local causes through art. Each exhibit showcases a body of work inspired by a specific cause in need. We believe that art should be enjoyed and appreciated, and we hope that the meaning behind the art will create an increased awareness for our community’s needs.
Giving Tree
Upon entering the “Why I Love Orlando” contest with a team of community thought leaders, Appleton was awarded a grant to bring our winning Giving Tree concept to life. With help from the City of Orlando, commissioner Patty Sheehan and local sponsors, we hosted the inaugural Giving Tree event in Lake Eola Park, and had since used the events to highlight local causes, such as Foundation for Foster Children and Kids Beating Cancer.
Victory Cup Initiative
The Victory Cup Initiative, regarded as Central Florida’s premier goodwill event, empowers local nonprofits to share their stories with clarity and impact. Participating organizations receive professional storytelling training before presenting live on stage to an audience of community leaders, philanthropists, and business professionals. The event culminates with audience voting to award significant grant funding to the top organizations, while all finalists receive monetary support to advance their missions. Since its founding in 2016, Victory Cup has continued to strengthen the region’s nonprofit community through storytelling, collaboration, and philanthropy. From its inception, Appleton has played an integral role in shaping it from the beginning, acting as its main branding and marketing support, in addition to Appleton’s CEO, Diana LaRue’s involvement as a founding board member.
