Madison’s Ed Pellegrino says he likes to get in on the ground floor—that could be a little tongue in cheek for someone whose day job is real estate, but for Ed, it’s also borne out in his day to day life. Ed is an active member of the Rotary Club of Madison and serves on the Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Commission. As far as the ground floor, Ed started the Pitching for Charity event that pitted local realtors against other community groups in a softball fundraiser, then initiated the Madison Chamber of Commerce Bed Race (yep—racing wheeled beds down the streets of Madison) that brings dozens of local businesses and organizations together.
