SPOTLIGHT ON SUCCESS

Give the gift of a scholarship this holiday season

Why give to the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation? Because your investment unleashes opportunities that can inspire lifelong passions. Will you join us?

Now is the perfect time to help a student achieve his or her dreams. Make a donation to the NRAEF Scholarship Program and fund a scholarship for deserving high school and college students.

Support NRAEF scholarship recipients like Rhiannon. She used her interest in cooking to not only identify her career goal, but also to jumpstart a healthy lifestyle. "Once I started cooking, I became more confident and it gave me new direction. I was able to express myself through cooking and found my style and confidence. Cooking has helped me set a goal. I feel so lucky that I know what I want to do for the rest of my life."

As we approach the holiday season, what better way to support our industry - which reaches so deeply into the heart of this country, embodies so many dreams, and provides so many livelihoods - than funding a scholarship.

Your generous, tax-deductible donation to the NRAEF, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, directly supports these students' immediate educational needs.

Help us address a growing need for support - GIVE TODAY.
