Dan Hadad’s title at Toronto’s Sinai Health Foundation is Director, Innovation Philanthropy. It’s a post he’s held for two years, but there couldn’t be a better time for a job description like that.
The COVID-19 crisis has upset traditional fundraising – no charity runs, bike-a-thons, movie nights or concerts in these socially distant times.
But at the same time it’s highlighted the needs of food banks, community charities and frontline workers. Clearly, creative fundraising is the order of the day.
Hadad has risen to the challenge as one of the minds behind Champions of Sinai, a “streamathon” set to start at 2 p.m. ET this Saturday and run to 1 a.m.
