Since 2012 the Hinsdale community has embraced and supported Greenhouse Scholars in so many ways and we want to say ‘Thank You.’
In that time, over 500 residents have joined our community and become catalysts for lasting change by participating in New Scholar Selection, attending our Glass Half Full event in September, sitting on our Development and Advisory Board, mentoring the exceptional students in our program, or committing to a 4-year pledge to Sponsor a Scholar. Together they’ve contributed over 6,100 hours of their time and more than $1.2 million. Our appreciation for this level of support and involvement cannot be overstated.
An additional thank you to our top corporate partners: RMB Capital, McCleary Group Real Estate, Hinsdale Bank and Trust, Continental Electrical Construction Company, Dave Knecht Homes, and Fidelity Investments.
You are truly catalysts for change.
