The RAMMYS Awards & Gala benefits the work of the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington and the RAMW Educated Eats Foundation.

For more than a century, RAMW has served as a catalytic champion for the Greater Washington Region’s world class restaurant and foodservice community. We are the region’s largest promoter of food and beverage entrepreneurship and one of the region’s leading providers of food safety education.

We’re bold advocates for policies that strengthen our members and grow the industry. We provide vital resources to help turn culinary visions into thriving businesses. And we work with pride to ensure that our storied restaurant culture exceeds the expectations of diners from local neighborhoods and around the globe.

The RAMW Educated Eats Foundation exemplifies this commitment. Last year, the foundation awarded more than $25,000 in scholarships to culinary students and industry professionals. Through ProStart, a nationally recognized training program, the foundation creates pathways for District residents into rewarding careers spanning food service and hospitality management to marketing, accounting, and human resources.

Your partnership in The RAMMYS is an investment that will transform lives and shape the future of food in the Nation’s Capital.

Who We Serve

As your partner, we’re committed to connecting you with the people who matter most to your mission—and making sure that your investment is efficient, effective, and meaningful.

Why It Matters

Restaurants are so much more than just places to eat.

They are soul-stirring cultural institutions, catalysts for prosperity, and thriving connectors for every kind of community.

With each door opened and dish served, we’re working to shape a better future for our region’s residents, workers, and visitors.

By supporting RAMW, you’re not just supporting a vital industry; you’re strengthening a flourishing ecosystem that drives tourism, generates jobs, champions communities, enriches lives—oh, and fills bellies, too!

In the foodservice industry, three priorities rise to the top: quality, value, and customer experience.

Those are the same driving principles that have shaped our new partnership menu for 2025. We’ve crafted a wide range of options to help you realize your vision for success—high-visibility naming rights, immersive activations, creative brand positioning, traditional advertising, and so much more. And, we’re more than happy to accommodate menu substitutions and specific requests.

Whether you want to stay connected to our audiences year-round, or focus your attention on a la carte engagement, we are excited to welcome you to a feast of opportunity.
