Followed by a Q&A with Dan Pallotta
Dan invented the multi-day charitable event industry. He created the Breast Cancer 3-Day walks and the multi-day AIDS Rides, which raised in excess of half a billion dollars in nine years and were the subject of one of the first Harvard Business School case studies on social enterprise. The model and methods he created are now employed by dozens of charities and have raised in excess of $1.5 billion more for important causes from pediatric leukemia to AIDS to suicide prevention and many others. Dan’s iconic 2013 TED Talk, “The Way We Think About Charity Is Dead Wrong”, has been viewed more than 4.8 million times, and has been ranked one of the 100 most-persuasive TED Talks of all time.
