Pay It Forward Scholarship


Hey folks ... its August already ... and we are seeing visitors to our place that are making that dreaded back to school shopping trip. Kind of reminds me of that hilarious Staples commercial on TV ...




While you're planning for back to school ... keep in mind that the TC is offering a scholarship this year for our VIP guests families wanting to further their education beyond secondary school graduation. Encourage your kids to apply!

Here's the details ...

At the TC, we believe in community. We know that a strong community is built by people who are engaged and committed. We take pride in creating an environment where people invite their friends and family.



We have had the pleasure of hosting several groups of young people raising awareness and funds for worthwhile causes. These engaged and committed people will soon become our leaders of tomorrow. In todays me focussed society, its refreshing to see the commitment these folks demonstrate to helping others and their community.


In 2000, a novel entitled Pay It Forward was published and adapted into a Warner Brothers film. In the movie it described a concept of "Pay it Forward" as an obligation to do three good deeds for others in repayment of a good deed that one receives. Such good deeds should be things that the other person cannot accomplish on their own. In this way, the desire to help one another spreads exponentially through society, making the world a better place.


At the TC, we're adapting this concept as the theme for a scholarship fund. We will award a scholarship to a graduating student who commits to furthering their education at a post secondary institution and who has demonstrated their commitment to helping others and the community in the spirit of Paying it forward. The scholarship will be in the amount of 1% of our restaurant sales on Monday nights during the school year, from September through May.


The scholarship will be awarded based on the students demonstrated active contribution to others and their community over the school year. Help us help the community - lets get involved Dryden!

Mondays will become our community awareness event night to maximize the value of this scholarship. We are extending an invitation to school clubs, teams, groups and community service organizations to participate at the restaurant on Mondays! Contact us for more details.
