GreenLight Fund | BOSTON Emerald Evening 2019 Event Program
By 2019 Michelle Lambert has partnered with GreenLight Fund on four fundraising events. She is responsible for the creative development and execution for the events pre, post, and onsite creative; seamlessly incorporating the many recognizable sponsor brands, into fun interactive activities, onsite and cross-media promotions. It is a truly remarkable creative team that Michelle works with, from the event producer to catering, entertainment, performers, and treasured philanthropists. GreenLight Fund Boston identifies critical needs low-income families face in our city and imports organizations from across the country to fill that gap. We match our greatest needs with our greatest opportunity. Currently, there are more than 75,000 unemployed residents — and when we factor underemployment, that number grows. Forty-three percent of Boston residents do not have a college degree but have earned a high school degree or the equivalent. Meanwhile, jobs in the tech sector are projected to grow in the double-digits over the next years. GreenLight Boston is proud to welcome Per Scholas! Originally from the Bronx, Per Scholas is now in twelve cities across the country.
