ChillaVino is a new product that elegantly displays and keeps your wine, champagne and other beverages chilled, without using water or ice!
ChillaVino has its sights set on making ice buckets obsolete, but not the challenge. The Ice Bucket Challenge was a social media phenomenon that brought global awareness to ALS. ChillaVino has joined forces with The Angel Fund and Compassionate Care ALS to bring you The ChillaVino Challenge.
These non-profit organizations, each uniquely address the entire spectrum of research and compassionate care for those living with ALS. They are coming together for the first time to raise $500 thousand dollars through The ChillaVino Challenge. Every time a ChillaVino is purchased though their selected promotions, the company will contribute $5 to these organizations through an exclusive marketing partnership.
ChillaVino can be customized for any decor, business, celebration or occasion. It’s an ideal gift that will compliment your home, office, brand or man-cave. It also saves water and is simple to use.
See Chrissy Eblin perform the ChillaVino Challenge for the first time on Kickstarter.com on May 18th and be one of the first to have this new product, while supporting ALS.

THE ANGEL FUND FOR ALS RESEARCH
Founded by the late Ginny DelVecchio in 1998, The Angel Fund is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to supporting Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) research at the Cecil B. Day Laboratory for Neuromuscular Research at UMass Medical Center in Worcester under the direction of world-renowned ALS researcher, Dr. Robert H. Brown, Jr.
Dr. Brown and the UMass Gene Therapy Center are working on exciting cutting-edge research using gene therapy to silence ALS genes. It’s the Angel Fund’s goal to bring the research to human trials as quickly as possible.
COMPASSIONATE CARE ALS (CCALS)
While most of the attention is focused on finding a cure, often overlooked are those living and coping with the debilitating effects of ALS. Compassionate Care ALS (CCALS) is a nonprofit organization that offers individualized support to those families impacted by ALS.
CCALS offers a variety of resources, such as informative workshops, trauma and grief support, equipment and living aid subsidies and even a handicapped accessible van program. For these families and their care givers, it’s this support system that allows them to live and cope with the effects of ALS. CCALS is committed to better equipping patients to face end-of-life issues with dignity and peace, while bringing comfort to their families.
