According to Chad Nichols of Nichols Farm and Orchard, we are now entering the prime weeks for his excellent produce.

Wright College sponsored a flower arranging class.

“I’d give anything to be there. Hopefully I can find a little Eli’s cheesecake here in St. Louis. My late grandfather and Eli were friends, and I spent many a day in the old Eli’s restaurant in downtown Chicago both with my Grandfather and later in life with the legendary Howard Bedno.

But back to the cheesecake. Eli’s is perhaps the best on the planet.”

This has been the most successful year in the history of Eli’s, Wright and CHSAS Partnership for the Summer Sustainable Agriculture Entrepreneurship Program with outstanding speakers, special guests and engaged students. This year we really put all the pieces together as we saw the links between business, education and public policy.

Chicago was one of the first cities in the country to create a cabinet level position to advocate for people with disabilities. At Navy Pier on July 15th, the City of Chicago hosted AccessChicago, a one day expo to celebrate the accomplishments and opportunities for people with disabilities. Eli’s Cheesecake supporter the event with a 20th Anniverary Eli’s Cheesecake and over a thousand slices of Eli’s for the attendees.

Eli President Marc Schulman congratulates Karen Tamley, the Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities on its 20th Anniversary and the success of AccessChicago at Navy Pier. Eli’s partners with Commissioner Tamley and her Department on programs for people at Eli’s and for the students with disabilities at Vaughn High School, Wright College and the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences.

We are delighted that customers in the United Kingdom can find Eli’s Original Cheesecake at Herbie’s Pizza.

Herbie’s has locations throughout England in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Greater London, Hampshire, Surrey and Wiltshire.

We were honored to have Dr. Bechara Choucair, the Director of the Chicago Board of Health,  speak at the Eli’s/Wright College Farmers Market to the Chicago High School for Agriculture  Students in the Summer Sustainable Agricultural Entrepreneurship Program.

Dr. Choucair has a global perspective to public health issues and inspired the students with his background and the innovative programs that he is developing for Chicagoans.
