Take a journey back in time as Brian reflects on how he’s successfully lead his entire organisation – from his board to his volunteers – through a series of fundraising innovations. He’ll share the highs and the lows of their journey as they shifted their Darkness Into Light event from being just a local awareness walk to the global fundraising movement that it is today.
