DISCOVER THE LEGACY OF THE DON QUIJOTE AWARDS
Celebrating the success, unity and empowerment of the Hispanic community in Central Florida.
HISTORY OF THE DON QUIJOTE AWARDS
The Don Quijote Awards gala was first conceived in 1997 by a group of visionaries from the Hispanic Chamber of Metro Orlando and Prospera. As Central Florida’s Hispanic community grew rapidly, these leaders saw the need to recognize the hard-working, innovative business owners and professionals who exhibited the spirit of Don Quijote: visionaries, dreamers, and businessmen and women willing to take risks to achieve those dreams.
The two organizations have teamed up to honor leaders, business owners, and professionals who demonstrate outstanding success, leadership, and service in our community. The Don Quijote Awards gala is one of the most prestigious events in Central Florida, and has received recognition from the Florida Association of Festivals and Events and the Florida Association of Chamber Professionals as Best Event of the Year.
This event was created to serve three main objectives:
- To recognize outstanding Hispanic business owners and professionals, elevating their visibility and highlighting their leadership in regional growth and key industries.
- To Celebrate the economic, cultural, and social contributions of the Hispanic community in Central Florida.
- To Serve as a fundraiser for the top two economic development organizations serving the Hispanic business community and supporting the sustainable growth of minority-owned companies.
