Additionally, six GRCC Secchia Institute for Culinary Education students were each awarded a $1,000 scholarship: Mike Aswani, Justin Back, Kaylee Mulder, Emily Neigarth, Sarah Rae Samrick and Ryan Wall.

Restaurant Week was held between Aug. 10 and Aug. 21 this year. One dollar from each meal collected by the more than 60 participating restaurants went toward the donation to the foundation.
