Ecolab Sponsors Restaurant Employee Relief Initiative

Ecolab Inc. has partnered with the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF) to support the Nacho Average Showdown.

Presented by Tostitos, the event is a live nacho-making competition between award winning actor Bill Murray and celebrity chef Guy Fieri to raise money for the Restaurant Employee Relief Fund (RERF). The event will be streamed live on the Food Network’s Facebook page at 5:00 p.m. EST. on May 15. Viewers will be encouraged to donate to the RERF, which supports restaurant industry employees who are facing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Ecolab is committed to supporting the restaurant industry and its workforce during this challenging time,” said Mike Johannsen, Ecolab executive vice president. “Although we don’t have a favorite in this showdown, we expect it will be a very entertaining event and will raise additional contributions for the RERF.”
