ACT Holdings, Inc. Visits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® to Donate $36,000

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. –– Account Control Technology Holdings, Inc. (ACT Holdings), a national leader in debt recovery and business process outsourcing solutions, recently visited St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, to present a donation of $36,000. The generous contribution was a result of employee fundraising efforts from its 18 offices and a company match. 

In October 2017, ACT Holdings alongside its nonprofit arm, Account Control Technology Foundation, Inc. (ACT Foundation), held a companywide fundraising campaign, “ACT for a Cure,” to benefit St. Jude. Each year employees vote on a charity to support. Since 2011, ACT Holdings’ fundraisers have generated a total of more than $600,000 in donations to charities. To raise funds, offices participate in luncheons, casual days, bake sales, contests, raffles, tournaments, and more. 

“I am so proud of our employees and what they do each year to raise money for very important organizations doing excellent work,” said Tracey Carpentier, CEO of ACT Holdings. “In 2017, many of our employees were affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma yet, we were able to come together and raise a significant amount of money for St. Jude. I really appreciate our employees and how hard everyone works each and every day.”

ACT Holdings was represented by two employees who visited St. Jude on March 22, 2018 to deliver the donation check in person. Elena (Ellie) Gentry, Office Manager for ACT Bakersfield, California and Tanya Roberson, Marketing Manager for ACT Holdings and the ACT Foundation, were led on a tour of the hospital. 

“It was such an honor to visit St. Jude and see what our fundraising dollars will do,” states Ellie Gentry. “I thought I might cry while there, but I found myself smiling and blowing kisses to the amazing and strong children. St. Jude is a place of hope, and I would love for ACT to support it again.”
