Our union’s scholarship recipients are athletes, artists, and scholars dedicated to their education and communities. We look forward to seeing the great things they do!
Special thanks to Mr. Mario Gabelli
Mr. Mario Gabelli, whose father, Joseph Gabelli, was a charter member of Local 6 at Luchow’s Restaurant, made another very generous gift to our union’s scholarship fund this year. To date, Mr. Gabelli has donated over $650,000 to the scholarship fund.
“We are so grateful to Mr. Gabelli. His support for the scholarship fund is inspiring and deeply appreciated by myself and the 40,000 members of our union,” said HTC President Rich Maroko.
