CORE | August 19, 2026


Serving Up Hope, CORE’s national campaign of gratitude, officially kicks off this September — and we couldn’t be more excited to launch alongside a lineup of sponsors who’ve already stepped up before the campaign even begins.

From September 1st- October 31st, Operators and Suppliers across the food and beverage industry will come together to raise funds and awareness for the families of food & beverage employees facing a health crisis, injury, or natural disaster. Before we kick off the campaign, we want to recognize the sponsors who are leading the charge.

Heroes of Hope: Cromwell Media, GuestCounts Hospitality, Custom Culinary, and Din Tai Fung

Champions of Hope: Areas, Boston Beer Co., Cleveland Menu, Cuisine Solutions, FSR, Heineken, IMI, Kerry, Marriott, NRN, Ole Smoky Tennessee Distillery, QSR, Questex, Restaurant Leadership Conference, Ste Michelle Wine Estates, Terlato, and Tito’s Handmade Vodka

Beacons of Hope: AllianceHCM, GooGoo Clusters, and Sysco

The commitment of our partners is proof that when the food and beverage community comes together, hope shows up on the menu.

Thank you to all our Serving Up Hope sponsors for leading the way this season. If you would like to learn more about future opportunities to partner with CORE, visit coregives.org, or contact our Senior Partnerships Director Jill Chapman at jill@coregives.org.
