Karl’s Cabin Scholarship
Karl's Cabin invites you to support our 4th Annual Culinary Scholarship Fundraiser Dinner! Join us August 14th, from 6:30-8:30, for a 5 Course Rustic Dinner celebrating four local students receiving Karl's Scholarships. All four of our aspiring chef recipients are enrolled in the prestigious Culinary Program at Schoolcraft College as freshman for the fall of 2019.
Our scholarship was created to honor Karl Poulos the founder of Karl's Cabin. A Greek immigrant who came to the U.S. in 1955, Karl lived the American dream. Mr. Poulos worked in kitchens for over 50 years bringing joy to all his guests. A product of the Greatest Generation he was a kind, humble and hardworking family man.
