RP 20th Anniversary Culinary Student Scholarship
RP 20th Anniversary Culinary Student Scholarship Fund
Goal to raise $10,000 or more for the Culinary Student Scholarship Fund
CUMULATIVE FUNDS RAISED TO-DATE Approximately $9,000
Chef Dave and Karen West opened Rolling Pin Kitchen Emporium in early 1995 at the Brandon Town Center Mall. Over the course of 20 years, RP has served the Brandon/Tampa Bay area.
As a way to give back to the community, Chef Dave and Karen are excited to establish a Culinary Student Scholarship Fund in cooperation with the Trey Curry Foundation and Hillsborough Community College.
The scholarship will be awarded to second year Culinary Students who are enrolled in HCC, exhibit exceptional culinary skills, maintain above-average academic progress, and demonstrate a financial need. HCC Culinary Faculty and Fund representatives will administer the scholarship program and Chef Dave will be involved in the final selection. "Our hope is to encourage and assist a deserving student find their way and their dream in the culinary world," says Chef Dave.
We have already raised $3,200 towards the goal with the 20th ANNIVERSARY SCHOLARSHIP EVENT DINNER "Evening with the Chefs, A Night to Celebrate!"
At this time the Chef's Event is SOLD OUT. Thanks!
The Trey Curry Foundation has agreed to match funds raised up to $4,000!!! We are so thankful for the generosity of Cliff, Terry and MaryBeth Curry. Hopefully all of us will support the Silent Auction so that we can claim all of this amazing matching fund offering.

About Rolling Pin Kitchen Emporium
Karen West started the Rolling Pin Kitchen Emporium in early 1995 at the Brandon Town Center Mall as a single small retail store. Over the course of 20 years, Chef Dave joined in the business, they moved to their current location, expanded the store to three times its original size, and added the Culinary Center and Cooking School.
As a way to give back to the community and recognize the accomplishments of the business, Chef Dave and Karen are excited to establish a Culinary Student Scholarship Fund in cooperation with the Trey Curry Foundation and Hillsborough Community College.
Proceeds from this auction go directly to the RP 20th Anniversary Culinary Student Scholarship Fund. We hope to raise enough to fund the Scholarship for the first 2 years.
