2016 Restaurant Neighbor Award Winner | Humanitarian of the Year | Harald Herrmann
Harald Herrmann opened the flagship Yard House in 1996, years after he launched his restaurant industry career as a part-time dishwasher during high school. Feeling a need to give back to the community, Herrmann began his largest philanthropic initiative, Round It Up America, in 2009. The program enables guests to round up their check total, donating the extra change to a charity of the participating restaurant’s choice. Yard House alone has raised more than two million dollars through Round It Up America and approximately $3.2 million has been raised in total since 2009.
