Charity, A Leg To Stand On, Partners With J&J

A Leg To Stand On (ALTSO), a New York-based nonprofit providing free orthopedic care to children around the globe, has just initiated a partnership with Johnson & Johnson’s Donate a Photo app and campaign. J&J will be donating up to $20,000 to ALTSO’s CoolKids to provide 80 Joshi Prosthetic Limbs to children in need.

“ALTSO is honored to be chosen as a Johnson & Johnson partner and recipient of their generous campaign to provide up to 80 Josh Prosthetic Limbs to ALTSO’s CoolKids,” said Gabriella Mueller Evrard,executive director of ALTSO. “We would like to thank J&J for their incredible and proactive commitment of up to $20,000, as well as advocates of ALTSO’s CoolKids around the world, for sharing their photos to help improve the lives of those we serve together.”

The collaboration is offered to a limited number of charities; users are asked to share photos on their app, Donate a Photo (free download on iOS and Android). Share a photo and Johnson & Johnson donates $1 to the charity of the user’s choosing.

Gabriella Mueller told OTW, “Johnson & Johnson ishelping ALTSO develop new, cost effective, high-quality components for our patients around the globe. The app allows users to select A Leg To Stand On and then ‘donate’ a photo each day. We are thrilled to be working alongside such an experienced and dedicated medical entity. Now, even more children around the world will be able to walk, run, jump and play.”
