Gresham Partners Proudly Sponsors The Community Table, a Fundraising Dinner Event for Greenhouse Scholars

Gresham Partners, LLC, an independent investment and wealth management firm, proudly
sponsored for a seventh consecutive year The Community Table. This annual celebrity
chef farm dinner to benefit Greenhouse Scholars took place on June 1st at Elawa Farm in
Lake Forest, Illinois. Greenhouse Scholars is an educational non-profit organization that is
dedicated to developing leaders who will evolve the communities of the world.

The evening was attended by about 120 guests and included a cocktail reception followed
by an exquisite dinner prepared by Chef Henry Hill. Currently a food and beverage
formulation consultant and a partner in a brand accelerator firm, Chef Hill previously served
as Executive Chef at the Michelin-starred Dusek’s Board & Beer restaurant, where he was
known for preparing dishes that were expertly paired with the restaurant’s extensive and
rotating beer menu.

Throughout the evening guests enjoyed the opportunity to visit with several Greenhouse
Scholars from Illinois and hear their inspirational stories. Ted Neild, president and chief
investment officer of Gresham and a member of the Greenhouse Scholars Illinois Board,
commented that “Gresham is very pleased to continue to be an enthusiastic sponsor of
Greenhouse Scholars and this outstanding event, which supports the many highly talented
and motivated – but severely under-resourced – students that Greenhouse Scholars helps.
Hearing these students describe what they are accomplishing with their lives and in their
communities makes us proud to be associated with them and Greenhouse Scholars.”

More than a college scholarship program, Greenhouse Scholars’ provides holistic and
crucial support to extraordinary but under-resourced college students who are leaders and
role models in their communities. This support includes mentorship, peer support,
internships, professional networking, an annual summer symposium, skills modules,
financial support and impact planning. 74% of Scholars are the first generation in their
family to attend college and this approach has resulted in a 95% college graduation rate,
which is seven times higher for the Scholars than their peers.

“It is a privilege to have Gresham Partners investing in Greenhouse Scholars year after year
at The Community Table,” said Pete Burridge, Founder and CEO of Greenhouse Scholars.
“Gresham has truly been a pillar of support for our organization, from sponsoring Scholars
and backing flex-funding projects to employee engagement with new scholar selection and
serving as mentors. Gresham’s commitment to Greenhouse Scholars has immensely
impacted our community.”
