The sixth annual VCs vs Entrepreneurs Ryder Cup Golf Tournament benefitted GreenLight’s four portfolio organizations:

Raising A Reader

Raising a Reader - MA is a cost-effective, scalable way to boost kindergarten readiness for low-income children. RAR provides simple, ongoing training and rotation of children’s books to young families in communities where the need is great so these children can be on a level playing field when they start school.
