Credit Where Credit is Due

VPP - Venture Philanthropy Partners - is a terrific organization chartered with venture capitalizing local charities as if they were start-up businesses.

Two of my partners in our sports teams, Raul Fernandez and Jack Davies, have been the driving forces behind it along with Senator Mark Warner and the “Godfather” Mario Marino.

I am an investor in VPP and a cheerleader but Raul and Jack should get the acclaim. It is their baby. This is a very important effort being led many local business and philanthropy leaders. Check them out.
