“I am proud that The Cause has been involved in building awareness about ALTSO’s mission,” said Greg Dabal, member of historic New York Rocktoberfest band The Cause, head of ALTSO’s New York Music Committee and Managing Director at Credit Suisse. “Credit Suisse’s sponsorship makes a huge difference to the lives of disabled children in developing countries.”
