In 2004 Play BIG was a rather audacious glimmer in Carol Newell’s eye.
By the end of 2008 Carol had addressed hundreds of people of significant wealth interested in the idea of making their capital work for positive change in the world.
In addition to their many speaking appearances at conferences and fundraisers, Carol Newall and Marian Moore have hosted and collaborated with other organizations to bring together small groups interested in taking their philanthropy and investment in a new direction.
