NobleStrategy’s Parrish Advocates, Takes Action for Others with
Latest Charitable Endeavor Through Eta Pi Chapter-Montclair
NEWARK, N.J. (May 25, 2011) – William S. Parrish, Jr., President and CEO of NobleStrategy,
recently chaired the charitable “A Night of Excellence XXVI,” a gala fundraiser of the Eta Pi
Chapter-Montclair of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., a collegiate Greek Letter organization.
Attracting nearly 200 attendees to The Newark Club on May 20, the event raised $25,000 to
support college scholarships for high school students from the greater Essex County area.
“Giving back to the community is central to our business philosophy at NobleStrategy,” said
Parrish, who leads a construction management and training firm with offices in Newark and New
York City. “It was an honor to lead this special event because it takes me back to my days at
Hampton University. Everyone measures success in different ways, but I’ve always believed that
by managing your focus, your faith and the by-products of your success, you will have a lot to
offer the community. Passion for business ultimately allows you to stand up for others in the
community.”
The black tie dinner honored Dr. Edythe M. Abdullah, President, Essex County College; Dr.
Adunni Anderson, Principal, Edgemont School, Montclair; Arthur J. Griffa, formerly President
of both the Jersey City YMCA and Orange Board of Education; Dr. Lenworth Gunther, a
distinguished scholar, educator and media contributor; Ronald C. Lee, Superintendent of
Schools, Orange Public Schools; and Donna K. Williams, Council Member, City of Orange.
“Our honorees all have in common that they are dedicated to community, helping others to grow
and improve their lives in every possible way,” said Parrish. “Even during your most frantic
pursuits of success, if you are willing to freely distribute your gifts to others, whether its your
time, money or resources, you can and will create a positive effect on others that will be
multiplied and returned to you. If nothing else you will be richer for your giving and someone
will be better off because of your contribution. You no doubt will make a huge impact and might
very well be surprised by how well you do financially as a by-product of how well and how
much you give freely.”
