We were thrilled to present The Salvation Army of West Volusia County with their Pink Diamond Award for Spiritual Wellness!

Although they couldn't join us for the West Volusia Wellness Initiative Pink Diamond Provider Awards, Lt. Criselda DeLeon stopped by the Chamber office to accept the award on their behalf—and we were so happy to celebrate this well-deserved recognition with her!

The Salvation Army was recognized for their commitment to supporting the spiritual well-being of our West Volusia community and for the meaningful work they do every day.

Congratulations to Lt. Criselda DeLeon and the entire Salvation Army team! Thank you for all you do to make a positive difference in our community.

They call Lake Helen “The Gem of Florida,” and last Friday, we celebrated another gem shining bright in this beautiful community!

This refreshed space is ready to inspire creativity, bring people together, and provide a wonderful home for the arts in Lake Helen. We can’t wait to see all the creativity and community connections that come to life here!

Congratulations to the City of Lake Helen on this exciting renovation and investment in the community! 🎉

That’s a wrap on the YPWest Pickleball Social! 🏓

Thank you to everyone who came out, picked up a paddle, and spent the evening connecting with fellow young professionals. It was great to see new faces, friendly competition, and plenty of time to network off the court.

A special thank you to RallyWell Pickleball and Wellness Club for being such a great host and helping us put together a fun evening for YP West - Young Professionals of West Volusia!

And of course, thank you to our sponsors, Volusia Young Professionals Group, DeLand KIA & Daytona TOYOTA, for supporting YPWest and making events like this possible.

We’ll see you at the next one!
