HEE Proudly Supports Industry Charities

The National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation educational initiatives provide culinary, management, food safety and employability skills training to build a pipeline of talent for the restaurant industry.  The NRAEF awards scholarships to students and educators to provide continued education.  

In  partnership  with  the  NRAEF,  we  have  launched  the  Teddy  McAleer  Guiding  Stars  Scholarship  program.    This  is  a  unique  opportunity  to  give  back  to  those  seeking  a  career  in  hospitality.      We  will  provide  3  scholarships  each  calendar  year,  two  with  a  focus  in  beverage  and  one  to  a  military  veteran  seeking  a  hospitality  career .
