On Thursday May 5, Hy’s of Canada hosts a Cinco de Mayo fundraiser at Hy’s Steakhouse & Cocktail Bar to benefit the John Aisenstat Memorial Scholarship. For $50 per person, supporters will enjoy premium tequila and savour delicious hors d’oeuvres knowing 100% of proceeds will support future industry leaders.
The youngest son of restaurant founder Hy Aisenstat, John was an ardent supporter of continuing education and strongly believed in encouraging young stars within the industry. After his passing in 2018, the John Aisenstat Memorial Scholarship was established by John’s brother, Neil Aisenstat, Hy’s Chief Executive Officer, and Megan Buckley, Chief Operating Officer. In honour of John’s lasting contributions to the industry, the scholarship is awarded annually to a student of the culinary or hospitality arts at Vancouver Community College (VCC).
Everyone is welcome to join the event on May 5 from 4-6pm at Hy’s Steakhouse Vancouver. Tickets can be purchased online HERE or with limited availability at the door.
Hy’s of Canada also funds the Hy Aisenstat Memorial Endowment at Simon Fraser University. This endowment provides financial support to high-achieving students returning to school from the workforce.
