100 WOMEN IN HEDGE FUNDS PARTNERS WITH PRINCE WILLIAM IN SUPPORT OF THE CHILD BEREAVEMENT CHARITY

THE CHILD BEREAVEMENT CHARITY TO BE THE BENEFICIARY OF THE 2011 LONDON GALA
AND OTHER FUNDRAISING EVENTS

100 Women in Hedge Funds, a non-profit organization for professionals in the alternative investments industry, today announced that it will partner with the Child Bereavement Charity during the second year of Prince William's patronage of 100 Women in Hedge Funds. The Child Bereavement Charity is a leading charity in the UK that supports families and educates professionals in the event of the loss of a child or when a child is bereaved.

100 Women in Hedge Funds has a track record of supporting charities and has raised more than $20 million for philanthropic causes in the areas of health, education and mentoring. Prince William became patron of 100 Women in Hedge Funds' philanthropic initiatives in late 2009 and, starting in January 2010, 100 Women in Hedge Funds committed to focusing its philanthropic endeavours on three of Prince William's Patronages: Centrepoint in 2010; the Child Bereavement Charity in 2011; and Skill Force in 2012.

Ann Chalmers, Chief Executive, Child Bereavement Charity, said: "Our vision is that during a time of tragedy in their lives, all grieving children, young people and families have access to quality support and resources relevant to their needs from appropriately trained professionals. I have no doubt that our partnership with 100 Women in Hedge Funds will help us achieve and maintain this vision, and we are indebted to them for their valued support."

Commenting on the announcement, Kristen Eshak, Philanthropy Chair and Member of the London Board of 100 Women in Hedge Funds, said: "We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Prince William and proud to support the Child Bereavement Charity in their critical mission to support bereaved children and families. This is an issue which touches so many people, and we are thankful that the Child Bereavement Charity can provide the type of support and resources desperately needed at such times."

100 Women in Hedge Funds is planning a number of events in London during 2011, which marks the organization's 10th anniversary, and will culminate in the 100 Women in Hedge Funds London Gala on October 13, 2011 at a central London location (to be advised).

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
