As a founder and trustee, I am pleased to introduce you to the Nicole V. Reed Memorial Foundation. A 501(c)(3)charitable foundation formed in honor of my beloved wife that seeks to provide tuition assistance to graduating high school students that wish to continue their education in the culinary arts.

This was her passion, the reactions of her clients drove her creativity, and this new foundation seeks to encourage such passion and creativity in others.

The Foundation provides scholarships to qualifying students on an annual basis. These scholarships are paid for through a fund maintained by the Foundation which serves only this purpose. The amount our foundation can award and the number of students we can assist is limited only to the size of that fund. This is why we write to you today. By contributing to our fund, you increase the assistance we can give to these students and make it possible for them to follow their culinary dreams.
