Philanthropists don't need to be rich to give back to their communities. "It doesn't take money," Rita Case said Thursday evening. "All a philanthropist has to have is passion for a project, enthusiasm, share that enthusiasm and you'll create dollars. "You don't have to be wealthy or have a lot of extra money to give away to really make a difference," she said. Case, president and CEO of the Rick Case Automotive Group, delivered the keynote speech during the Women's Gift Alliance's annual dinner and speaker event at the Hagadone Event Center.
