​The books based on Greg's story highlight how food, milkshakes, meals, banquets & galas help bring a community together. Many restaurants, ice cream shops & F&B-related associations have used the books, workbooks & posters internally (e.g. for staff & customers) &/or externally (e.g. for local students & teachers). Many restaurants have sponsored The Elevator Project. In turn, many restaurant employees have been chosen as Elevator Project honorees. Greg has spoken at events &/or conferences for companies in the food & beverage & ice cream industries. In other cases, F&B-related groups have sponsored his speech at a school. During the pandemic, he has teamed up with food/beverage/ice cream-related companies & nonprofits on activities involving the books. ​
