Honor a woman you love and who inspired you through a new initiative from the Philadelphia chapter  of Les Dames d’Escoffier, a global organization of women leaders, dedicated to supporting and advancing women in the fields of food, fine beverage and hospitality.  At the same time, you will lift the next generation of women in our industry.

Your donation of $250 or more will help fund our first-ever Heritage Awards (2 of $5000 each) plus mentoring, for future women leaders in the field. These awards will be announced at our Heritage Dinner on September 28:

· The Heritage Scholarship – Recognizing a promising female student showing leadership and excellence in her field.

· The Heritage Small Business / Entrepreneur Grant – Honoring a woman owner of a small, revenue-generating business in our industry.

As Maria Williams, a recent scholarship recipient, shared: “This gave me financial support—but almost more important was knowing that someone believed in me.”
