Teneo & SEARCH Foundation

For nearly 30 years, SEARCH Foundation’s mission has been to provide financial assistance to our Hospitality Industry Professionals. SEARCH (Special Event Assistance Relief & Crisis Help) is a lifeline for our fellow Event, Meeting, and Catering Professionals who may be faced with a life-threatening illness or catastrophic occurrence.

The hospitality community comes together to support our own friends and colleagues, meeting them where they are during these unimaginable challenges. Thanks to the very generous support of our industry colleagues, SEARCH has an outstanding track record of funding 100% of the qualified assistance cases to date, over almost 30 years.

 Teneo is honored to support SEARCH as our 2026 Philanthropic Partner. Your Teneo friends invite you to join us in supporting our community through a donation to SEARCH. We’re grateful for your heart and the impact we can have together. Thank you!
