Anaheim, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/13/2014 -- 3 for 99 is pleased to announce acceptance into The Bank of America Charitable Foundation Matching Gifts program.

The Matching Gifts Program offers a chance for Bank of America employees to double contributions made to their favorite charitable organizations and thus improve their communities. Annually, the Bank of America Charitable Foundation provides more than $25 million in matching gifts on behalf of employee donations.

3 for 99 is the vision of Joe Debilio who was motivated to start a children's charity after watching a young family friend lose her battle against Freidreich's Ataxia, a little known life-shortening degenerative neuro-muscular disorder that affects about one in 50,000 people in the United States. When two other young people in Joe's life were also afflicted with debilitating diseases, Joe's charity evolved into 3 for 99, a charity that evenly divides an affordable $99 (or more) donation between three charities – Freidreich's Ataxia, Duchenne's Disease and Hemophilia. With just ONE CLICK, people can now donate to research to find a cure for three orphan diseases that are often overlooked by mainstream organizations.

Anaheim, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/18/2014 -- After watching a young family friend, Chelsea Lane, lose her battle against Friedreich's Ataxia, Joe DeBilio knew he had to continue fighting the disease. Two other disorders were affecting young people in Joe's life. Nathan Mermilliod is suffering with Hemophilia, and Hawken Miller is afflicted with Duchenne's Disease.

- Friedreich's Ataxia (FA) is a debilitating, life-shortening, degenerative neuro-muscular disorder.

- Hemophilia is an inherited blood clotting disorder, occurring primarily in young males, in which one or more of the 15 vital clotting proteins, called clotting factors, are either deficient or inactive.

- Duchenne Disease is a devastating muscular disease in children. Historically, most boys who have Duchenne's do not survive beyond their mid-twenties. Those that do will be wheelchair bound by age twelve.

Joe wanted to help find a cure for these life-shortening children's diseases. His vision evolved into the creation of a charity that evenly divides an affordable $99 (or more) donation between these three charities, making it easy to donate with just ONE CLICK. With the help of friends Cosmo Taormina, David Kantar, and a generous initial contribution by Al Barilla, the dream has finally come to fruition.
