The New York State Hospitality and Tourism Association officially incorporated its scholarship fund into an Education Foundation in 1999. In a show of appreciation to Fred England and his late wife Gertrude’s longtime involvement and dedication to the scholarship program, the Foundation voted to change its name in May 2001. It is now called the Fred and Gertrude England Hospitality Education Foundation and its mission is to assist in the educational development of hospitality students by offering individual scholarships to member employees and/or their dependents. Officers The Foundation is headquartered at 80 Wolf Road in Albany. The Officers include: Chairman, Michael Hoffman, of Turf Hotels, Inc.; Vice Chairman, Cynthia Hollowood, CHA, of Holiday Inn - Saratoga Springs; Treasurer, Daniel C. Murphy, CHA, President of NYSH&TA; and Secretary, Peter Rost, of Pineapple Hospitality, Inc. Fundraiser NYSH&TA holds an annual Saratoga Summer Fundraiser every summer to benefit the Hospitality Education Foundation. The fundraising event at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, NY, has all proceeds benefiting the scholarship fund. |
