Sandford, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - October 10, 2024) - Aion Therapeutic Inc. (CSE: AION) ("Aion Therapeutic" or the "Company"), through its water filtration subsidiary, Toppen Health, Inc. ("Toppen" or "Toppen Health"), announced today that it has donated multiple water filtration systems to Trinity Baptist Church to support Hurricane Helene recovery and relief efforts in western North Carolina.
Labeled one of the most deadly hurricanes to hit the United States mainland in over 50 years, Hurricane Helene has left communities in ruin from Florida's Gulf Coast to Tennessee, with western North Carolina being one of the hardest hit. According to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, over 160 boil water advisories remain in effect as of last Tuesday, October 1, with 27 water plants closed and not producing water.
Based in Sandford, Florida, Toppen's leadership team witnessed some of Helene's destruction firsthand, and is anticipating more from Hurricane Milton. News that Trinity Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina, is helping to build wells and addressing ongoing water quality concerns in the region mobilized the Toppen team. "It just makes sense that if neighboring communities need help getting access to clean water, we needed to step in," says Owen Boyd, CEO of Toppen. "So we sent some of our water filtration systems to Trinity Baptist Church to support their recovery efforts."
Toppen filters are made in the United States and can be installed at a water source's point of entry or via other source-specific options (i.e. under sink). They have a unique low-pressure, high-flow design that, combined with a proprietary outer filtration layer (MicronGuard), is effective at reducing bacteria by 99.9999999%, viruses by 99.9999%, as well as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance ("PFAS" or "forever chemicals"), micro-plastics, pesticides and pharmaceuticals.
Toppen also carries filtration straws ("UltraSafe Micro Straw") and personal water filtration bottles ("Ultra Water Bottle") that facilitate the same clean, safe water the company's whole-home or business filtration solutions offer, but for personal use.
