Former PYD mentee, Ray Grandoit, featured at National Mentoring Month EventRay Grandoit, a former PYD mentee, was highlighted at Mass Mentoring Partnership's Forum on Youth Mentoring event on January 30th in honor of National Mentoring Day. At the event, Ray was able to share his successes and the importance of mentoring and his relationship with his mentor, Judge Reginald Lindsay. 
Ray is the Founder and CEO of Ray Grand Apparel, a clothing company. He used his experience with Partners for Youth with Disabilities and other organizations such as National Foundation for Teaching Entreprenership (where he where he received prestigious awards such as, Entrepreneur of the Year and Best Demonstration of Profitability) to follow his dream of becoming a successful entrepreneur. Ray says he became motivated through trials and tribulations that took place in his life. He then decided whether one prevails or fails, one learns from their experiences. Based upon his knowledge and vision for a brighter future, he decided to own a business. Therefore when it comes to goals and aspirations the sky is the limit for Ray.
