The Give Something Back Foundation (GSBF) has made a $10,000.00 contribution to help further the Nevada Restaurant Association’s Scholarship Program. This money is to be used for actual scholarships in 2006.
The Give Something Back Foundation was developed by Bob Carr, founder and CEO of Heartland Payment Systems, who worked his way through college at the University of Illinois food service division and at an Arby’s Roast Beef restaurant through graduate school. Bob’s mother worked as a waitress for 35 years to raise her six children. The roots of GSBF run deep in the restaurant industry and many restaurant and hotel workers have no way to help their children go to college. Perhaps this program will help at least one or more children to receive a college education. NvRA is both grateful and honored to partner with GSBF in helping to provide scholarships to Nevada students dreaming of a career in the hospitality industry.
