Once again, CORE: Children of Restaurant Employees is the charity of choice for the 2025 Vibe Conference. CORE is a national nonprofit dedicated to supporting food and beverage service families when life takes an unexpected turn.
For more than 10 years, CORE has partnered with the Vibe Conference raising over $500,000 thanks to generous and supportive Vibe operators and sponsors. At last year's Conference, CORE raised a total of $72,000 for families in the food and beverage industry facing terminal illnesses or sudden losses.
In the aftermath of the recent hurricanes, many workers faced devastating challenges as their workplaces were destroyed, leaving them without a source of income. CORE stepped in to provide financial assistance, helping individuals like Ashley, a single mother of three, whose restaurant was wiped out by the storm.

With CORE's help, families can focus on rebuilding their lives, knowing that immediate financial relief is available when they need it most.
