Excited to share a conversation we held titled: “The Role of Sports During a Disaster.” I enjoyed moderating the panel of experts including NFL Alumni and multi-media personality (NFL Network, Uninterrupted) Andrew Hawkins, Mastercard SVP Global Sponsorship Michael Robichaud, Center for Disaster Philanthropy CEO Patty McIlreavy, and SC30 Inc. (Stephen Curry) President Bryant Barr. The panelists each brought a wealth of knowledge and unique perspectives to the conversation, leading to a lively and informative discussion covering a wide range of topics including donating money vs. asking others to give, meaningful messaging and timing, role versus responsibility and learned behaviors, choosing philanthropic partners and how COVID-19 is impacting brands, sports rights holders and athletes decisions now and in the future.
