"It has been a privilege to acknowledge and support these remarkable organizations through our 2024 Philanthropy & Development initiatives," said Eileen Wayner, Chief Executive Officer of Tales of the Cocktail Foundation. "Another Round, Another Rally, Focus on Health and Safe Bars are making meaningful contributions that directly uplift our hospitality industry, and they exemplify the Tales of the Cocktail Foundation's mission to educate, advance and support our communities."
Tales of the Cocktail is an annual New Orleans drinks industry extravaganza; this year, InsideHook's drinks newsletter The Spill was a sponsor of both Meet the Distillers and Beyond the Bar, the latter a series of programming put together by the TOTCF that is "more about the things that we need to feel complete and go to work every day well-balanced," as board member John Gakuru told us.
Another Round, Another Rally offers educational scholarships to the bartender community, particularly historically excluded voices. They also provide resources to those affected by the pandemic to ensure a more resilient workforce.
To date, TOTCF has granted more than $525,000 in awards to 'those who are actively improving the global hospitality landscape,' supporting initiatives that promise to uplift and enhance the industry.
