FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Johnstown, Penna. – Team members of SimCloud Corporation and supporters of ALSLife, Inc. participated in an unique dining experience with Evgeni “Geno” Malkin, #71 of the Pittsburgh Penguins, and his family. The dinner was hosted at Alla Famiglia, a fine Italian dining establishment located in Pittsburgh, PA.
Through personal association, Nicholas Pappas, Executive Chairman of SimCloud Corporation, sponsored a contest through ALSLife, Inc., a local charity that he closely supports, to allow additional people to share in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have dinner with Evgeni. Individuals that purchased an ALSLife.org t-shirt through https://donate.alslife.org by March 21, 2012, were entered in the drawing. The individuals chosen were Dave Turcato of Windber and Sharon Fetzer and son Nick Fetzer from Johnstown.
Besides the entrance in the drawing, ALSLife, Inc., donated $5.00 for each shirt purchased to the Big Dreams Children’s Foundation supporting children in need. Through the sale of these shirts, ALSLife, Inc., was able to make a donation of $500.00 to Big Dreams Children’s Foundation. The Pappas family generously matched a $500.00 donation which was distributed to Love for Lokomotiv. The funds raised were presented to Evgeni at the event’s conclusion.
“This was a great demonstration of combining efforts to make a difference,” says Pappas. “Evgeni was very generous in donating his time to our organization. This event not only fostered some great friendships but has opened the doors to a world of opportunity and continued altruism. We are pleased to be a part of their organizations and will continue to support their efforts in any way we can.”
