IBM Supports Act of Life

There is much to be said for dedicated service and sheer determination. That would be a simplified way of describing the way in which Bill Dunlap, Act of Life board member, achieves results such as this. Shown in the picture is Karen Nunn, APC System Integration Project Manager with IBM Global Business Services, Bill Dunlap and Lynda LeCompte, Act of Life's Executive Director.

Karen presents a check for $1,000 to Bill, who received the check on behalf of Act of Life. IBM have consistently shown support for Act of Life through regular giving, which Bill has brought about through his advocacy for our mission of advancing adoption awareness. IBM is able to donate through their community outreach program for retirees called, On Demand Community, which provides a grant in the form of cash or equipment for qualified charities.

Bill retired from IBM after 30 years of service and has been involved with Act of Life for the past three years. During this time, Bill has dedicated over 700 hours of voluntary service to Act of Life. This admirable effort has produced amazing results in the form of a steady stream of financial or in kind donations coming from corporations, retail stores and individuals.

Thank you IBM, for your faithful support and to Bill Dunlap for your unparalleled service and advocacy for adoption awareness.
