ALTSO's 16th Annual Hedge Fund Rocktoberfest

What It's All About

ALTSO provides free life-changing prosthetic limbs, orthotic braces, and appropriately fitted wheelchairs to children living with untreated limb disabilities in the developing world - at an average cost of only $250 per child. We are proud to stand by our patients providing continual treatment through the age of 21 meaning every CoolKid can Grow Up ALTSO. This ensures each ALTSO patient has the opportunity to gain the education and vocational skills needed to become independent and self-sufficient.

The average ALTSO family earns approximately $3 a day, and lives approximately 3 miles from the nearest school. There is no access to transportation so without the ability to walk or move independently, they simply can't go to school. Without an education, they are unlikely to ever get a job, to sustain themselves, to have a family. This is the reality for a child with an untreated limb disability in the developing world.

For ALTSO's CoolKids, mobility is more than movement. Mobility is access to education, future employment and the chance to life self-sufficiently. Mobility is hope, dignity and independence.

ALTSO Hedge Fund Rocktoberfest-NYC will celebrate its 16th anniversary this year alongside Chicago's 8th and London’s 2nd anniversaries. More than 2,750 professionals from the alternative investment and related financial service industries will unite in these three cities for a night of rock & roll and acoustic music to benefit ALTSO's mission and the more than 18,000 CoolKids treated to date.
