Thank You, Calgary

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s John Aisenstat Memorial Fundraiser in Calgary.

Guests enjoyed a lively and interactive evening celebrating La Dolce Vita, courtesy of Castello Banfi Cellars, complemented by a selection of decadent Italian-inspired hors d’oeuvres from our culinary team.

In partnership with SAIT, the event supports the John Aisenstat Memorial Scholarship, which benefits students pursuing careers in Culinary and Hospitality Arts. Thanks to the generosity of our community, this year’s event brings the total raised for the endowment to nearly $32,000.

We extend our sincere thanks to Danielle Radke, Academic Chair, Hospitality and Tourism Management Programs, along with the SAIT support team, for their partnership and ongoing commitment to student success.

We are also proud to recognize this year’s scholarship recipient, Mingyao Wang (Culinary Arts).

“At Hy’s, giving back to our communities and investing in future talent is fundamental to who we are,” said Neil Aisenstat, President & CEO of Hy’s of Canada. “The John Aisenstat Memorial Award at SAIT allows us to do both, while celebrating the legacy of my brother John, who was an exceptional restaurateur and a steadfast supporter of our people.”
