Act Global Austin does the #ALS #icebucketchallenge!
Beyond throwing icy cold water on our heads, Act Global is also supporting ALS research through donation. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord, and eventually the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. Learn more about ALS and the #icebucketchallenge here.
According to a press release by the ALS Association, “As of Tuesday, August 26, The ALS Association has received $88.5 million in donations compared to $2.6 million during the same time period last year (July 29 to August 26).”
Act Global also supports several other charitable and world aid organizations around the world, such as World Vision, Conservation International and the Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation.
