During this year’s International Food & Beverage Forum Hall of Fame Summit 2012 in Las Vegas the group awarded seven scholarships to students of Le Cordon Bleu and admitted five students to “Honored Students” of their IF&BF Hall of Fame Society:
Dia Young
Michelle Basinski
Shahar (Sam) Soloman
Tiana Couto
Tracy Davis
According to Forum Founder and President, Kurt H. Fischer, “The scholarships are a cornerstone of our organization. One of our first recipients was a young lady by the name of Holly Dove. Holly is a top player in the pastry world in New York. Holly still keeps in touch with The Forum, more than 15 years after receiving her scholarship. Why? Because, with our scholarship, we helped provide for an opportunity to fulfill her dream of becoming a pastry chef. The giving of scholarships is really about the giving of opportunities. Further, we intentionally keep the membership within The Forum at a low number of members to minimize overheads so that the vast majority of our fundraising can go directly to helping the students.”
The International Food & Beverage Forum is a designated 501(c) (3) tax-exempt, non-profit organization by the U.S. government.
