Pay it Forward
In light of the impact of COVID-19, F3E has launched an initiative called “Pay It Forward’ with the goal of giving a $1,000 tip to honor service workers in our local community that have been working incredibly hard throughout the pandemic.
We have already had the pleasure of honoring two waitresses by surprising them with a $1,000 tip. Our first recipient was nominated by her boss for her tireless service while working as a waitress at his Irish pub and to her wider community outside of work. She has been delivering meals to seniors and participating in local food drives throughout the pandemic.
Our second nominee was recognized by her friends and boss for her impressive hard work and commitment to her job, while also being an incredible single mom to her son. Her resilience and work ethic during the pandemic, despite struggles to support her son, inspires those around her and speaks to her admirable character.
We are so grateful to have the opportunity to show our appreciation for these extraordinary members of our community, and we hope to continue doing so in the upcoming months.

In October 2019, F3E held a talent show to give away thousands of dollars in scholarships to local middle and high school students. The event was held at Ridgeview Middle School and was hosted by Brian King Joseph of America’s Got Talent, who treated attendees to an AGT-worthy performance. The show also got a spot on ABC7 WJLA morning news, who interviewed our Director of Operations, Kiana Edwards, and Brian King Joseph in their studio!
