The Elevator Project
Through The Elevator Project, sponsors order copies of the books (The First Thirty and/or The Silhouette Man) and then give them (and/or have them given on their behalf) to people in their community to honor them for kindness, service &/or hospitality. Twenty-plus years since The Elevator Project's start, editions of it have taken place in local communities around America -- as well as Canada and South Africa. Honorees receive the book, along with a note of recognition from the individual or entity sponsoring that edition of the Project. Some honorees work in the service/hospitality industry (e.g. staff at restaurants, hotels, airports). Others are local residents who have committed acts of kindness.

The Pandemic Project
In 2020, when the pandemic limited Greg's ability to travel, he looked for ways he could make a positive impact in other communities while he remained at home. He teamed up with selected groups around the country on a two-part project: (1) They purchased copies of the books for Board members, Committee members, staff members, selected donors & volunteers, &/or people they serve &/or people they want to honor (e.g. seniors, adult learners, teens or kids), and (2) Greg then did a private Zoom Q&A for those book recipients. Greg has continued some of these efforts even after the pandemic has eased up. To see more on those ongoing efforts, CLICK HERE
