Impact in Action: PLUS Community Rallies Behind Orlando Fisher House

Every year at the PLUS Conference, the PLUS Foundation’s Conference Cause brings attendees together to make a meaningful impact in the host city—supporting local organizations that strengthen their communities. It’s one of our most cherished traditions: we don’t just visit a city, we leave something positive behind.

This year, the PLUS community partnered with the Orlando Fisher House, an organization that provides free lodging and a supportive, comforting environment for the families of military service members and veterans receiving care at the Orlando VA Medical Center. Fisher House isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a lifeline during stressful, emotional, and uncertain times.

During the event, attendees wrote dozens of heartfelt, handwritten notes filled with gratitude, encouragement, and hope. These messages will be placed in welcome bags for families arriving at the Fisher House in the coming months—each one offering a personal reminder that they are seen, supported, and appreciated.

As pens moved and conversations sparked, one thing was undeniable:
Service is part of who we are.

There is still time to donate to the effort by texting “PLUS2025” to 44321 through Friday, November 14, or visiting the GiveLively site.

Since 2004, Conference Cause has thrived because of dedicated people like you—industry professionals who show up, roll up their sleeves, and choose to give back. Your involvement has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars and countless volunteer hours to organizations in conference host cities nationwide.

By supporting the Orlando Fisher House—one of 84 Fisher Houses across the U.S. and overseas—PLUS attendees helped honor the courage and sacrifice of our nation’s heroes and their families.

Thank you to everyone who participated. Your impact will be felt long after the conference ends.
