CEO Reveals Hidden Meanings in Name and Logo

If you haven't already guessed, there is quite a bit of hidden meaning in our name and logo design. "AlerG" if read with the capital G emphasized sounds like "allergy".

The short name is a reflection of our philosophy which is to minimalize allergens and unnecessary chemicals - though the use of purifiers, products that are non-allergenic, sealants and paints that reduce or eliminate the amount of allergens or toxic chemicals that we are exposed to.

The URL has fewer letters to type. The logo is an eye with a tear and the background is a mountain. this can be interpreted many ways. The teary eye is a typical symptom of hayfever, it can also represent the pain we allergy or chemical sensitivity sufferers are going through.

The mountain represents clean air and water, but can also represent the hurdles we have to deal with. Mountains are also considered a protective image in many cultures.

AlerG Launches Fundraising Division

I am happy to announce that AlerG, Inc has partnered with Fast Track Fundraising, Inc to provide Charity Groups, Churches and Religious Organizations, Schools and other organizations or people needing money (including yourself or your loved ones), with an effective, no upfront cost way to raise funds.

My primary purpose for forming this wholly owned division of AlerG, Inc. is to help people who have tapped their funds to the point they cannot afford the necessary products and treatment for their Allergies or Environmental sensitivities. However, we do not prevent organizations or individuals from using the site to raise money for other purposes.

The amount of money that can be raised is quite significant, see just a few of the actual results below (the total raised by the various groups and individuals is in the millions of dollars).

Little or no investment other than your organization's time is required. This plan works with individuals to groups of over 200+ people. It is one of the very few plans that allow you to start immediately by signing up online and/or downloading the forms. (I personally dislike plans that require you to wait days for a package to arrive or have to call and be "telemarketed")

Nevertheless, if you prefer the traditional method you can call and speak to a live person who can help you through the process.

Click on one of the following links to reach the site. (they all go to Funds.AlerG.com we have multiple addresses just to make it easier for you to remember)
funds.AlerG.com
AlerGfunds.com
allergyfundraising.com
allergymoney.com
mcsmoney.com

This is an initial launch and is in constant development to make it most effective for your particular organization or needs. Everything should be working.

Just a few groups that have raised money though this fund raising program :
Ddjc Civilian Welfare Fund Fundraised $3,500.00
Cub Scout Pack 211 Fundraised $4,625.00

This division will be announced and promoted via the AlerG site and other major press media soon. Readers of my Blog are getting a sneak preview.

This fund raising program is active and you can start fund raising immediately.
