Some brave and caring Townsend Leather partners got together to raise money for ALS and join in on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge!

 

Many joined in the fun with a “domino of bucket dumping” and many got involved with collecting buckets, gathering ice, spreading the word, and cheering everyone on.

We have tapped our friends at The Leather Institute and Studio Vizto to take the challenge as well!  We look forward to seeing those videos!

Some Townsend Leather partners have family members afflicted by this terrible disease and we come to this challenge with a desire to truly raise awareness and spread good vibes to those in need. If you don’t know much about the disease, please visit www.alsa.org and find out more about how we can all make an even bigger impact.

Townsend is passionate about our community and about helping each other.  It was heartwarming to see a group of passionate, mindful, caring individuals come together – to get uncomfortable, get cold and wet, have their breath taken away for a moment, feel the stiffness in body and mind for just a split second.  All in an effort, to have a tiny bit better understanding of what it is like to live with ALS and the crippling effect it has on their brain and spinal cord.

Townsend Leather loves getting involved, bringing attention to things that matter, and having fun along the way. That is why we were proud to gather for a couple minutes, show collective support for a valuable cause, take on a minor challenge, and raise some money for a much larger challenge.

So without further ado, here is a video of our Townsend LEather ALS Ice Bucket Challenge…

A big thank you is deserved for HR Director, Ben Towne, for organizing our Townsend Leather Ice Bucket Challenge.  And many more thanks to all the Townsend Leather partners who participated!
