Let’s hope these new appointments bring a fresh change and a professional perspective on fundraising and the impacts to the women (and men) they seek to serve, not to mention the McGrath Foundation brand.
e.g. stop taking notes from the Komen play book…no more ‘boob sleds’ or KFC pink buckets please.
