Episode 028: We are joined by superstar fundraiser and philanthropreneur Brittany Hebert founder and CEO of Sky High. You will be inspired by Brittany’s story of how she took on the challenge to raise $10,000 for Saint Jude’s Children’s Hospital, and along with her college friends organized a clay shoot tournament in Lafayette Louisiana that raised over $50,000! That’s just where she started….

Eleven years later, Sky High is fully-staffed non-profit that will raise millions and millions of dollars each year to support pediatric cancer. They do this mostly through their multi-event weekends in different cities throughout the year some of which raise ~$1M.

It is just incredible what her and her team at Sky High have been able to accomplish for the families affected by pediatric cancer… And she’s not stopping anytime soon! Just wait until you hear about how much her and her team are pledging to Pediatric over the next 15 years!
