EntSun News/11031005
ORLANDO, Fla. - EntSun -- The I-Drive Chamber of Commerce has awarded this year's I-Drive Chamber "Harris Rosen Philanthropic Award" to ICON Park for demonstrating exceptional philanthropic work that has made our community and world a better place. Previous recipients of the annual award include the Orange County Convention Center and Universal Orlando Resort.
The award was presented at this month's Chamber meeting and award ceremony, with hundreds of local tourism leaders, to ICON Park President and CEO Chris Jaskiewicz.
"Each year, this award is presented to a business that strives to do more for their community and enrich the lives of as many people as possible," said president of the I-Drive Chamber Maria Triscari. "ICON Park has partnered with hundreds of worthy organizations that help Orlando thrive, from those that help provide food and shelter to keep our community safe to organizations that help children and families get the resources they need. ICON Park has become an influential pillar of the greater Orlando community."
When Jaskiewicz set out to transform ICON Park five years ago, he saw the potential to create a communal gathering place, with free admission, where locals and guests alike could celebrate the Orlando community and the spirit of the city and its residents.
