Dan Pallotta

Author of Uncharitable and Founder of Pallotta TeamWorks

Dan Pallotta is the founder of Pallotta TeamWorks, which created the multi-day, four-figure pledge minimum charitable fundraising event category. More than 182,000 people walked or rode in one of Pallotta TeamWorks' events. The company was the subject of a 2002 Harvard Business School case study. Pallotta TeamWorks' ideas and methods have been adopted by dozens of other events, charities, and event production companies in the U.S., U.K. and Canada, which now raise tens of millions of dollars each year for important causes. Dan graduated from Harvard University in 1983 and was Chair of the Harvard Hunger Action Committee. His own journey in creating these life-changing mega-fundraising events began there, where he created Ride for Life - a transcontinental bike ride in which he and 38 of his classmates rode 4,256 miles from Seattle to Boston to raise money and awareness for Oxfam-America. Dan was one of the youngest members ever elected to the School Committee in Melrose, Massachusetts. In addition to Uncharitable, Dan is the author of When Your Moment Comes (Jodere, 2001). He has been awarded the Creative Vision Award by the Liberty Hill Foundation (1998), the International Citizen of the Year Award by Albany State University (2008) and the Humanitarian of the Year Award by Triangle (2006).
