MILWAUKEE
Denise Elfe has made a gift of $1 million in support of students in the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Sheldon B. Lubar School of Business and College of Nursing. She made the gift in honor of her late husband,
Gary Elfe, a cofounder of Baird Advisors. Both Denise and Gary graduated from UW-Milwaukee.
The gift establishes the Elfe Family Business Fund, which will provide students in the Lubar School’s Investment Management Certificate Program with a pool of funds with which to gain experience and expertise in investment practices. Proceeds of these investments will be used for the program’s operating expenses and to create the Elfe Family Nursing Grant Fund, providing emergency financial assistance to undergraduates enrolled in the College of Nursing.
