Annabelle White
Annabelle’s vision is to transform wealth to health. Six years ago, just before coming into a significant family inheritance, Annabelle was looking for a new way to invest. She attended play BIG, exponentially expanding her vision for activating wealth. The story of the subsequent six years is one of developing her personal vision, her leadership muscle, and a strategy and team to make leading-edge choices in Canadian philanthropy and North American investment.
Who Should Attend
play BIG is designed for people with $25 million or more who are seeking ever
greater alignment of their money as an expression of their values and vision
for an equitable and ecologically sustainable society. We welcome newcomers and
play BIG alumni, seasoned investors and philanthropists as well as those at
early stages. Please spread the word to those for whom play BIG might be a fit.

What to Expect
In an
intimate setting of 15-20 attendees, participants’ stories, aspirations and
insights are at the core of the play BIG experience. A team of supportive
social investment experts and strategic thinkers are also an essential part of
the convening. Through creative self-reflection, strategic planning sessions,
case studies and one-on-one consultations, attendees explore vision, mission,
and the nuts and bolts of activating wealth to stimulate social and
environmental change.
"Spectacular and inspiring" & "iconic and profound" - 2013 attendees' reflections on case studies
History
Carol Newell and Marian Moore launched play BIG in 2004
with a desire to support the repurposing of great wealth to tackle issues at
the root of systemic problems. play BIG was inspired by an experiment that
activated Carol’s entire portfolio of over 60 million dollars over a
twenty-year period with a mission to stimulate a regional green-solutions
presence and economy in British Columbia through grants, investments and
innovative collaborations.
