Endeavour Case Competition Teams Develop Winning Solutions for Windfall’s FAB400 Giving Program Endeavour’s Inaugural Case Competition took place over the course of a week on June 3rd, 5th and 12th, 2010. The event brought together a large and diverse group of professionals, students, businesses and community members to help Windfall, a Toronto-based charity that addresses poverty as a social issue, develop a marketing strategy for its new FAB400 Monthly Charitable Giving Program. The presentations by all teams showcased the tremendous talent of our competitors and displayed innovation, creativity and brilliance. Windfall was extremely impressed and greatly appreciative of all the ideas put forth by each participating team. We invite you to read Windfall’s Thank You Letter.
