Proceeds from raffle ticket sales and lunch donations went directly to support cancer research and patient services.

 Together, the ACT community raised $7,650 to support the American Cancer Society.

 “As a family-owned company, we believe strongly in giving back to the communities where we live and work,” said Phill Wilt, President and COO of ACT. “Cancer has touched so many of our lives in deeply personal ways, and it reminds us how important it is to stand together. This fundraiser is more than a meal, it is a reflection of our shared hope, our resilience, and our belief that we can make a difference when we unite for a cause greater than ourselves. At ACT, we see our employees and community as family, and when one of us is affected, all of us are called to act. That is why supporting the American Cancer Society is not just an event on our calendar, but a commitment in our hearts.”

 Community members and supporters are encouraged to continue donating online at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/TeamACT. Raffle ticket sales will also continue until Friday, September 19, during National Driver Appreciation Week, when winners will be announced.

 ACT’s commitment does not end with this luncheon. The company and its associates will participate in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk on Saturday, October 25 at Crown Center. Team members and their families will walk in honor of those who have battled cancer and in support of research, treatment, and the hope for a cure.
