Candace Jarkow
Maverick Events | Founder & CEO
With over 17 years in the philanthropic sector, and as the Founder and CEO of Maverick Events, the event production and creative marketing company that she built and has run for 10 plus years, Candace’s knowledge and bandwidth of clients, vendors, talent contacts and resources make her an expert in the field.
Candace learned at a young age that giving back is one of the most important concepts to adopt and is imperative to approach as a way of life. Her grandfather founded The Jarkow Institute for Latin America and was President of the ADL in Boca Raton, Florida. His charity mindset made an indelible mark and was definitely a catalyst to the launch of Candace’s career.
Throughout the years Maverick has had the good fortune to work with some of the most well-known, vertical organizations in the world. On the flipside, Maverick also works with clients at the inception to create their foundations from the bottom up. Working on these unique platforms from concept to mission and creating fundraising strategies, marketing campaigns, building Partnerships, curating promotional ventures and producing unique events is what really ignites her passion for philanthropy. Creating a company dedicated solely to this endeavor makes great sense at this point in her career.
