VIPorbit® IPhone Contact Manager Joins Actor Michael Muhney In The Fight Against Pancreatic Cancer

Online, August 25, 2011 (Newswire.com) - VIPorbit Software International, Inc., www.VIPorbit.com, today announced a campaign to express appreciation to actor Michael Muhney of the CBS daytime drama "The Young and the Restless" and his Twitter followers for their recent support of VIPorbit CEO Mike Muhney in the Small Business Influencer competition.

VIPorbit launches its VIPcause campaign, "Download to Donate" by donating one dollar for each paid download of the full version of the iPhone contact manager application. They will also donate $100 for every 1,000 downloads of the free version of the app.

Spurred by a sense of competition and camaraderie, actor Michael Muhney appealed to his Twitter followers asking them to vote for his dad, Mike in the Small Business Influencer competition. In a matter of days, Muhney's votes soared beyond expectation, and he eventually garnered the second highest number of votes in the Leader category and received honorable mention recognition.

In response to this honor, Mike Muhney and the rest of the management team at VIPorbit Software International wish to express their appreciation to Michael Muhney and his Twitter followers in a meaningful way by joining the actor in the fight against pancreatic cancer.

The cause has both personal and professionals significance to the daytime drama actor. Like his character Adam Newman, whose mother Hope died of pancreatic cancer, Muhney lost his favorite uncle to the disease.

Muhney said, "Since my uncle's passing, we've made progress in research, but we still have more to accomplish before a cure is found. I am determined to assist in any way I can to further research and eventually find a cure."

This October Michael Muhney will once again host the annual LA Cancer Challenge, benefitting the Hirshberg Foundation. In preparation for the event, VIPorbit hopes to raise awareness and donations with every download. VIPorbit® is available for USD 9.99. VIPorbit® Lite, a version limited to 100 contacts, is free. Both products can be downloaded from the App Store.
