Annual Fundraising Event ALTSO's Rocktoberfest Gathers $1 Million once more
In a remarkable display of support and generosity, Greg Winterton's organization, A Leg To Stand On (ALTSO), has successfully raised over $1 million through its annual Rocktoberfest fundraising concert series for the second consecutive year.
The events, which took place in New York and Chicago, were attended by thousands of dedicated advocates and over 50 leading financial institutions. The series featured bands with ties to the asset and investment management industries, making for an exciting and engaging atmosphere.
This year's Rocktoberfest hosted over 20 bands, with the funds raised from these events being used to provide mobility care to children living with disabilities in emerging countries. The organization has a year-end goal of raising an additional $100,000 to support an additional 200 children with mobility care in the new year.
A Leg To Stand On's mission is to enhance the lives of children with limb disabilities by providing prosthetic limbs, orthotics, and other mobility aids. They offer comprehensive care that includes fitting, training, and follow-up services to ensure the prosthetics are properly fitted and used. The organization also focuses on empowerment and inclusion, helping these children integrate into their communities by providing them with the tools they need to participate fully in activities and education.
To further boost this year-end fundraising endeavour, ALTSO's Board of Directors has announced that they will be matching donations, up to $10,000. This match will go a long way in ensuring that more children receive the life-changing mobility care they need.
With plans to serve over 1,000 children with orthopedic care in the next year, every donation made to ALTSO will directly impact the lives of these children, enabling them to continue their journey towards a more independent and fulfilling life.
For those interested in supporting ALTSO's mission, more information can be found on their website or by contacting the organization directly. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of children living with disabilities in developing countries.
Science's advancements in prosthetics and health-and-wellness services could benefit significantly from the $100,000 additional funds ALTSO aims to raise, potentially improving mobility care for more children in the new year. The funds raised through Rocktoberfest events could contribute to this cause, supporting research and development in this promising area.
