He created the multi-day charitable fundraising event industry, including the AIDS Rides and Breast Cancer 3-Days, which raised $582 million in nine years and were the subject of a Harvard Business School case study.

Kennedy Jr. PRAISE FOR CHARITY CASE "Every once in a while a book states the obvious in such a compelling way that it rises to the level of genius. Charity Case is that exciting. It dares the whole of the charitable industry to raise its voice to the level of the music business and other consumer giants. In its insistence that the industry reject the role of second-class citizen, it has the potential to make charity sexy, and that's the only way charity is ever going to change the world." --Clive Davis, chief creative officer, Sony Music; founder, Arista Records; former president, Columbia Records "If we had a prize for the most innovative thinking about charity and social change it would go to Dan Pallotta. Charity Case is the blueprint for unleashing the awesome power of this sector and enlightening the society that unknowingly holds it back. Simply brilliant and in a class by itself." --Peter Diamandis, chairman and CEO, X PRIZE Foundation "Dan Pallotta invites, tempts, and provokes every single one of us to think differently about the humanitarian sector. He has a big vision and artfully makes a case for creating a sector-wide movement capable of powerful actions and needle-moving change that improve lives. In this rapidly changing and increasingly complex world, Dan's voice is crisp, clear, and compelling." --Diana Aviv, president and CEO, Independent Sector > --Seth Godin, author, Tribes > --Bobby Shriver, cofounder, Product (RED) Zusammenfassung A blueprint for a national leadership movement to transform the way the public thinks about giving Virtually everything our society has been taught about charity is backwards. We deny the social sector the ability to grow because of our short-sighted demand that it send every short-term dollar into direct services.
