Allen Allured and his parents, Prudence &amp; Earl\u00a0Allured, felt that strong education programs, widely available, help to ensure\u00a0a vibrant and everlasting industry.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"para0\"><span class=\"text5\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"text5\">The lack of formal confectionery training opportunities at educational\u00a0institutions in the United States has meant that confectioners must provide\u00a0their own training to their own staff and their colleagues. The success of one\u00a0candy maker satisfying one customer has always had the impact of\u00a0improving all candymakers. The Allured family has fostered this approach\u00a0through their own publications and by their involvement and support of all\u00a0industry organizations for 4 generations.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"para0\"><span class=\"text5\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"text5\">Grants of $500 will be awarded to attend an educational function sponsored by the American Association of Candy Technologists (AACT), the PMCA,\u00a0the Retail Confectioners International (RCI), the National Confectioners\u00a0Association (NCA) or the Fine Chocolate Industry Association (FCIA).\u00a0Grants are open to any individual residing in the USA. Grants can not be\u00a0awarded to any family member that is supported financially by the Allured\u00a0family or the board members of the Confectionery Foundation or the Allured\u00a0Fund Committee.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"para0\"><span class=\"text5\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"para0\"><span class=\"text5\">The Fund does not discriminate because of race, color, religion, sex,\u00a0national origin, age, disability or genetic information.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/gomc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/application.pdf\">Download an Application Form<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/gomc.com\/index.php\/allured-fund-contribute-to-the-fund\/\"><span class=\"text513\">I would like to contribute to the Allured Fund<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/gomc.com\/index.php\/allured-fund-frequently-asked-questions\/\"><span class=\"text513\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/gomc.com\/index.php\/allured-fund-previous-grant-recipient-comments\/\"><span class=\"text513\">Comments from previous grant recipients<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"para2\"><span class=\"text5\">For further information contact:<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"para2\"><span class=\"text5\">Amy Allured, email:\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"mailto:amya@gomc.com\"><span class=\"text513\">amya@gomc.com<\/span><\/a><span class=\"text5\">; phone: 720 645 1112<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gomc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23143"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gomc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gomc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gomc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gomc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23143"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/gomc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23143\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37592,"href":"https:\/\/gomc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/23143\/revisions\/37592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gomc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
