The President of Vintage Consulting Completes the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge!

The President of Vintage Consulting, Nick Peterson, grew up playing baseball and it's always saddening to learn of who ALS has affected.  Growing up with awareness of Lou Gehrig and the early end to his baseball career, Nick knew he had to participate in continuing to raise awareness and donations for the ALS Association.  As of today, ALSA has raised a whopping $79.7 million and there are still Ice Bucket Challenges (on our news feeds) happening daily!

Enjoy the video and be encouraged to accept challenges or just make a donation! Please note, California is in a serious drought, so utilize the bay, the ocean or get clever in saving water.
