Jaime Wilson
President & CEO
Jaime is a results driven fundraising professional, currently Executive & Managing Director at Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation; her previous role was Chief Development Officer at True Patriot Love Foundation. Jaime began her not for profit career at SickKids Foundation where she supported the growth of the peer-to-peer fundraising program, SickKids Leaders.
Following that, she spent some time as a senior development staff person at Villa Charities Foundation, an Italian Canadian organization that supports culturally specific programming across the GTA. Here she was responsible for all individual and corporate fundraising through all their signature events, including The Venetian Ball.
Jaime then joined Right To Play, where she founded the Right To Play Champions Program, a group of like-minded individuals, senior level executives, philanthropists, across many sectors, which raise awareness and funds. In just four years, the group expanded to the greater New York area with its official launch in January 2014.

She has participated in several Expeditions including climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise money for Right To Play’s programs. Jaime has also participated in an expedition to the North Pole and a sea kayak adventure through the Bay of Exploits, NFLD to Fogo Island. She enjoys spending her free time with her 4-year-old son, Henry.
‘I am a change maker who leads by developing non-profits into mission driven, high performing organizations. I am the next step when a non-profit needs to recast its strategy and develop its board beyond the founder; hire the best staff in new roles; and professionalize the organization's relationships with its donors and community. I make hard decisions; the tough calls. But, I do it with compassion by always acknowledging the greater social impact these organizations need to make; the lives improved and saved and the great responsibility that comes with that.’
