DIGITAL— RadCraft and the James Beard Foundation are proud to present the second rendition of the RadCraft Industry Relief Coloring Book in support of the longevity of independent restaurants. After a successful launch of this book in 2020, it returns with more than double the pages featuring the logos of RadCraft’s partner malthouses, breweries, and distilleries (listed below). Proceeds from this effort go directly to the James Beard Open For Good campaign.
For more than 30 years, the James Beard Foundation has promoted Good Food For Good™ by giving chefs a voice and the tools they need to make the world more sustainable, equitable, and delicious. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the James Beard Foundation launched the Open for Good campaign to help independent restaurants survive the crisis, rebuild better, and thrive for the long term. Since the launch of Open For Good, the Foundation has provided critical industry support and resources through education, financial assistance, advocacy, and consumer engagement. For example, the Foundation raised and disbursed almost $4.8 million in grants to 312 food and beverage establishments across America through the JBF Food & Beverage Industry Relief Fund; has hosted more than 100 webinars on a variety of topics for their Industry Support learning series; and has continued work to train and mobilize the chef community in support of public policy through the Chef’s Bootcamp for Policy and Change.
The RadCraft Industry Relief Coloring Book is available for digital download here or pre-order a hard copy here.
Those who download and print are encouraged to share their art on social media with the #radcraftindustryrelief hashtag.
