The Power of Storytelling in Healthcare Philanthropy
Bill Littlejohn
CEO and Senior Vice President
Sharp Healthcare Foundation

Inspiration is the essence of philanthropy. For the last decade, Sharp HealthCare in San Diego has grown its philanthropy program through stories of inspired giving. From the first agenda item at Foundation Board meetings, to more than 50,000 Guardian Angel gifts in honor of caregivers – each with their own story – to the recently completed $100 million INSPIRE campaign; donors, caregivers and volunteers have inspired countless others through their stories of generosity. Bill Littlejohn, CEO and Senior VP of Sharp HealthCare Foundation will share Sharp’s journey of inspired giving and the stories that have shaped it.
