As we’ve said before – behind the data is people. And behind people are ideas that need to be realized and battles that need to be fought. That’s why Altum takes a role in community events that we think will make a difference. We hope you’ll join us in the following:
NIH Children’s Inn Golf Tournament
www.childrensinn.org/site/c.kkI1KiMXIvF/b.2001915/k.9D50/Home_Page_Conte...
Altum is proud to be a Gold Sponsor at the second annual NIH Children’s Inn golf tournament to be held June 1, 2009. All proceeds from the tournament benefit The Children’s Inn at NIH, a private, non-profit family-centered residence for pediatric outpatients and their families at the National Institutes of Health. The Inn was established to keep children with their families while they participate in groundbreaking medical research for serious illnesses at the NIH.
The Inn’s children come from across the United States and 74 countries to participate in leading-edge research that offers hope for serious and life-threatening illnesses that have resisted conventional therapies. Last year, more than 1,400 families stayed at The Inn. The Inn’s mission is to reduce the children’s stress and facilitate their healing by allowing them to remain with their families during treatment. Additionally, there is no charge to families staying at The Inn which helps to ease the tremendous financial burden associated with caring for a seriously ill child.

Every year millions of babies are born too early. Some survive and some do not. By participating in the Walk for Babies, Altum helps raise funds needed for care and research so that one day all babies will be born healthy.
Altum’s goal for the 2009 March for Babies held on April 19, was to have every Altum walker raise $200 toward the cause. Altum walked for Aidan Lee Artiles, a relative of Altum employee Wendy Papagjika, and for all the other babies who will benefit from the March of Dimes’ work.
