NEW YORK AND CHICAGO FINANCE COMMUNITIES WILL ROCK FOR CHILDREN’S CHARITY ALTSO AT HEDGE FUND ROCKTOBERFEST – NYC ON OCTOBER 27 AND ROCKTOBERFEST – CHICAGO ON OCTOBER 6

A Leg To Stand On’s (ALTSO’s) Rocktoberfest will celebrate its 13th anniversary in New York on October 27 at the Hard Rock Cafe, and its 5th anniversary in Chicago on October 6 at City Winery. As the charity’s signature fundraiser each year, these events will unite over 1,400 philanthropic leaders in New York and more than 500 in Chicago from the alternative investment and finance industries for a night of rock & roll and acoustic music, featuring over a dozen bands whose talented performers are also industry members. Rocktoberfest empowers vital programs that provide prosthetic limbs and corrective surgeries to children with limb disabilities in emerging market countries.

“ADM Investor Services is very excited to be sponsoring Rocktoberfest – Chicago for the first time,” said Kurt Johnson, Vice President Business Development. “We are delighted to support the noble mission of A Leg To Stand On and join our industry friends for a great night in celebration of ALTSO’s mission.”

“ALTSO continues to be deeply grateful for the unwavering support from our sponsors, attendees and the New York and Chicago finance and business communities,” said C. Mead Welles, founder of hedge fund Octagon Asset Management. Welles founded ALTSO in 2002 with Dr. Dinesh Patel Chief of Arthroscopic Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital and is an Associate Clinical Professor at Harvard Medical School.
