The College of Central Florida Foundation has exceeded its goal of $20 million by 27 percent for CF Reaching Higher: The Campaign for the College of Central Florida.

The comprehensive fundraising campaign was publicly launched at Taste of Ocala in 2018, and more than $25 million has been raised. The CF Reaching Higher campaign surpasses the foundation’s previous Promise for the Future campaign total raised, completed in 2012, by more than 240 percent.

Funds raised will accelerate CF’s efforts to provide innovative and experiential learning opportunities for students pursuing work force degrees in health care, agriculture and equine, and will expand opportunities to create programming and unique visitor experiences for guests of the Appleton Museum of Art, College of Central Florida.
