This Week’s Top Story
Three years ago, Melissa Benham, Jennie Bishop, and Kristen Ekeland established their interior design firm, Studio Gild (2110 N. Damen Ave., studiogild.com). Now, the cofounders are celebrating the launch of their new nonprofit called Gild Foundation (gildfoundation.org), which will be based out of Studio Gild’s Bucktown design space.
Gild Foundation will support a singular cause each year. For 2017, the Foundation will donate 100 percent of funds to cancer research, with next month’s Cycle for Survival marking inaugural fundraising efforts. Additionally, Gild Assembly (the group’s furniture and home décor showroom) will donate a percentage of its proceeds to a variety of cancer research organizations. Learn more about the Cycle for Survival fundraiser here.
