Dear Elizabeth, I am absolutely thrilled to express my heartfelt gratitude for being chosen as the recipient of the Chef Marco “Gabby” Pantano Memorial Scholarship! It’s such an incredible honor to be recognized in this way, and I feel truly grateful and privileged to be part of Chef Marco’s inspiring legacy through this award. This scholarship is a game-changer for me, lifting a huge weight off my shoulders and giving me the energy and focus to push forward in my culinary education. It’s an amazing boost that allows me to fully dedicate myself to developing the skills I need to serve my community. Your support fuels my passion and dreams — I’m determined to create a local Meals on Wheels program in a small town so everyone can enjoy healthy, nutritious meals. Learning about Chef Marco Pantano’s passion for bringing people together through food has been incredibly inspiring. I’m so honored to carry on his legacy through this scholarship and to make a positive impact by sharing that same joy of cooking in my own community. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. Your dedication to empowering future chefs is making a real difference in my life, and I can’t wait for the day I can give back to others just as you have. With heartfelt appreciation, Joshua Quigg
