The Rydmans, longtime supporters of the Hilton College and a founding sponsor of the College’s Wine & Spirits Management Institute (W&SMI), recently pledged $250,000 to the College through the Spec’s Charitable Foundation. To date, the Foundation has contributed more than $550,000 to support the Hilton College’s Beverage Management programs. Before dinner, the Rydmans presented President Khator with a $65,000 payment on their pledge. . 
“John and Lindy’s generosity has enabled the Hilton College to be recognized as a national source of beverage management education and research, and we are grateful for their continued support,” said Dean John Bowen, who was a guest at the dinner. |
