In addition to his service on the board of ACT, Mr. Halleron has volunteered as the gala emcee and member of the charity gala planning committee. He traces his connection to ACT since its beginnings after seeing Peter Westerhaus defeat ulcerative colitis while working to inspire hope for others. When celiac disease struck Mr. Halleron, he determined there was no better place to put his time and resources than toward ACT.
