lra education foundation to present "serving the future" thursday

3/27/2017

 
Event will honor scholarship award winners and partner organizations
​
The Louisiana Restaurant Association Education Foundation’s (LRAEF) inaugural recognition event, “Serving the Future—Celebrating Careers in Hospitality,” will be held Thursday, March 30, 2017 at Generations Hall in New Orleans, 6-9 p.m.
 
A party created to honor the 2017 LRAEF Scholarship Award winners and the LRAEF’s partner organizations, it will feature delicious food from some of the most popular restaurants in the New Orleans area and some fun surprises for scholarship recipients and the high school students in town for the Louisiana ProStart® Student Invitational. ProStart is a nationwide, two-year program for high school students that develops the best and brightest talent into tomorrow's industry leaders. This two-day annual competition features ProStart teams from across the state competing in separate culinary and restaurant management components for a chance to win scholarships to culinary and hospitality-focused post-secondary schools and to represent the state at the National ProStart Invitational in Charleston, S.C. next month.
 
“Serving the Future” will feature two emcees, married chefs Cody and Samantha Carroll, who own Hot Tails Restaurant in New Roads and Sac-a-Lait in New Orleans. As Louisiana Culinary Institute alumni, they represent how much success a former culinary student can achieve in the restaurant industry. They will lead the ceremony that will recognize 34 students who will receive $57,000 in scholarships from the LRAEF Scholarship Fund. Created in 2009, this fund has awarded $390,000 to deserving students interested in furthering their education to support a career in the culinary, hospitality, or other related industries.
 
During the evening, students and scholarship winners will be able to take photos with notable guest chefs and restaurant operators and enjoy music by a DJ and great food from such restaurants as Barcadia Bar & Grill, Dat Dog, Melt and Plum Street Snoballs, just to name a few. Party favors will include photo booth flip-books from Funtastic Fotos.
 
“We are so excited to bring this unique event to our scholarship winners and ProStart students,” said LRAEF Executive Director Alison Greffenius. “‘Serving the Future’ is all about honoring the future of our industry in a fun atmosphere that high school and college students can appreciate.”
