MATT HALEY was a chef, an entrepreneur, a son, a brother, a friend and an inspiration to all he met.  When his focus started shifting outside the plate, he founded the Global Delaware Fund in 2011. In May 2014 he received the James Beard Foundation’s Humanitarian of the Year Award for his work in the United States and abroad, particularly in Nepal (where he had adopted three young girls and helped build schools) Later that same year, he received the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation’s Cornerstone Humanitarian Award and the International Association of Culinary Professionals’ National Humanitarian Award.

Matt's legacy is carried on in everyone that he has met, inspired and helped. The best gift you can give, is the gift of example. As someone in your life (friend, family, stranger) helps or inspires you, pass the coin along to them. If you would like, submit your coin number and a line or two about why it was passed along.
