Evening celebration to spotlight small business accomplishments and TAP’s mission to drive economic growth.
New York, NY May 5, 2025 – On Tuesday, May 6, 2025, The Acceleration Project (TAP) will host its annual Spring for Small Business® Benefit, a cocktail reception recognizing the power of entrepreneurship and the impact of TAP’s mission to empower small business owners across the country. The event will take place from 6:30 to 8:30 PM at Home Studios in Manhattan.
This year’s event will honor Peter Greene, Co-Head of the Investment Management Group at Schulte Roth + Zabel and Chairman of TAP’s Board of Directors, for his long-standing leadership and commitment to economic opportunity. TAP will also recognize MJ Renovation Group, a home renovation business based in Orlando, Florida, as its 2025 Small Business Owner of the Year.
Guests will enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres while hearing stories from the entrepreneurs TAP supports—each one a testament to the power of expert guidance and targeted support.
“This benefit is more than a celebration—it’s a call to action,” said Jane Veron, CEO of The Acceleration Project. “We’re proud to recognize Peter for his incredible commitment, and MJ Renovation for exemplifying the resilience, innovation, and grit that drive small business success. Their stories reflect the impact of TAP’s work in transforming lives and communities.”
