This year, we’re introducing three new award categories to celebrate even more of the people and programs that make West Michigan’s food and beverage community exceptional. From the unsung stars working behind the scenes, to the programs that bring hospitality beyond the plate, to the leaders whose lifelong dedication has left a lasting legacy, these awards shine a light on excellence at every level. Share your story through an essay submission and help us honor those whose impact and passion deserve recognition. Please see form below and send all written essay submissions to tipjarfoundation@gmail.com.
