Each year, HMCHA honors individuals and organizations who exemplify outstanding achievement, professionalism, and innovation within our local hospitality industry.
During the Pineapple Dinner, HMCHA will present the prestigious Red Ribbon Awards, Pineapple Awards, Taste of Huntsville Awards and educational and professional development Scholarships.

Every bit helps when it comes to tuition, and supporting future hospitality leaders is at the heart of this event.
