We should have been systematizing the building of communities. Communities sometimes hold events. Events rarely hold communities. We had it backwards and our results prove it. Join us to gain a full understanding of the psychological difference between a community and an event, and the likely outcomes of each. Learn why identity is an important part of community building, and why events don’t use identity nearly as well, impacting event financial results and lifetime donor/fundraiser value.

In this episode Katrina interviews the CEO of the Pan Mass Challenge, Jarrett Collins, who became CEO 17 days before the interview. It’s hard to call him a newbie however, as he served as both president and chief operating officer prior to taking the role. The Pan Mass Challenge is one of a small set of organizations that funnel monies directly to another entity, in this case the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Given that, focus is entirely on fundraising, which Jarrett and team do well having raised $72 million in 2023 through careful stewardship of long-time riders and volunteers.
