Summer 2022 • PENNSYLVANIA RESTAURANT & LODGING matters • 23 Earlier this year, the guys behind It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia launched a whiskey brand that pays tribute to the four walls the gang calls home. They released two Irish Whiskey products with proceeds from sales of both items benefiting the PRLAEF’s Hospitality Assistance Response of PA (HARP) fund. In September, the gang recorded an episode of their “It’s Always Sunny” podcast at The Met in Philadelphia, inviting local bartenders and HARP to the taping. Since 2006, the PRLA Educational Foundation has awarded nearly $375,000 in scholarship money to students pursuing culinary arts and hospitality management at the post-secondary level. Applications for the 2022/23 program will be accepted from October 1, 2022, to April 1, 2023. Scholarship Program Opens October 1 Hospitality Career Boot Camp this November The PRLAEF is piloting a new event this fall to introduce students to the opportunities and career pathways found in the hospitality industry. The event is open to central Pennsylvania students in grades 7 through 12 who are interested in learning more about hospitality and are not currently enrolled in a culinary arts or hospitality management program at their schools. Students will get an introduction to the industry with a day full of fun and learning about potential career opportunities.
