About the Book:
Dan Pallotta founded the company Pallotta TeamWorks which was the for-profit brainchild that raised millions of dollars for breast cancer and AIDS research and awareness through nationwide, marathonlike events. However, Pallotta came under attack for violating the sacred premises of charitable organizations: low profile, low budget, and little or no profit. Pallotta turns on its head the assumption that charity and capitalism should be forever divided. Don’t charitable causes deserve the same kind of competitive forces that work to get results in the for-profit sector? Wouldn’t social causes be better served if charitable organizations were headed by the kind of bright, aggressive executives that work in the for-profit sector?
