The ALS Association Honors MicroPact and Kris Collo for Corporate Philanthropy Efforts

WASHINGTON, March 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- MicroPact, Inc., the global leader in Data-First™ Case Management and Business Process Management (BPM) software, was honored on Thursday, March 26, with the Corporate Impact Award from The ALS Association – DC/MD/VA Chapter as part of the organization's "Best of the Ice Bucket Challenge" Corporate Awards.

"Our Chapter is proud to be able to recognize local companies that participated in the Ice Bucket Challenge to help bring awareness to ALS, as well as support families affected by this devastating disease," said Judy Taylor, CNM, Executive Director, The ALS Association – DC/MD/VA Chapter. "Without the help of individuals and companies like MicroPact, this movement would not have been such an overwhelming success."

Members of MicroPact's Senior Management Team joined dozens of MicroPact Team Members and their families to collectively soak themselves with buckets of ice water at the company's Annual Family Picnic while raising money to donate to The ALS Association, the leading not-for-profit organization dedicated to funding research to curing and treating people affected by ALS. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.

Kris Collo, CEO, President and Founder of MicroPact; Michael Cerniglia, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of MicroPact; and Marty Herbert, Vice President of MicroPact and a member of The ALS Association National Board of Trustees, then presented a check for $6,000 to Barbara Newhouse, President & CEO of The ALS Association, at MicroPact Corporate Headquarters on Nov. 25, 2014.

"The entire MicroPact Team believes in the important work that The ALS Association does on a local, national and global scale," said Kris Collo, who was also recognized for his work on behalf of raising funds and awareness during The ALS Association's Ice Bucket Challenge. "Giving back to the community has always been a significant part of how we define MicroPact as a company and as a corporate citizen. The Ice Bucket Challenge will go down in history as one of the most remarkable fund-raising campaigns, and I'm proud that MicroPact contributed to such a noble cause."

The ALS Association's mission includes providing care services to assist people with ALS (commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease) and their families through a network of chapters working in communities across the nation and a global research program focused on the discovery of treatments and eventually a cure for the disease.
