TORRANCE, California, Sept. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Honda is debuting a brand marketing campaign highlighting the automaker’s deep-rooted and ongoing commitment to safety and the company goal of helping to create a collision-free society. The new “Safety for Everyone” campaign launches today with 60-second and 30-second commercials (https://honda.us/safetyforeveryone) that portray a “what if” vehicle-pedestrian collision scenario. Through emotional storytelling, the spot illustrates what could happen to the lives touched by a pedestrian had a collision not been avoided by Honda’s Collision Mitigating Braking System™, part of the Honda Sensing® suite of safety and driver-assistive technology that is now standard or available on every Honda model in the U.S.

“Safety for Everyone” represents Honda’s unique approach to safety — that everyone sharing the road should be able to safely and confidently enjoy the freedom of mobility. With nearly 40,000 lives being lost each year in the United States due to motor vehicle crashes, Honda is dedicated to not only improving the safety of drivers and occupants of its vehicles, but all road users such as pedestrians, motorcycle riders, cyclists and occupants of other vehicles, with the ultimate goal of eliminating crashes and vehicle-related fatalities completely.

“We wanted our new Honda brand campaign to capture the type of real-life scenario that inspires Honda engineers to pour their passion into creating technologies that work toward our ‘Safety for Everyone’ approach of protecting everyone sharing the road,” said Ed Beadle, senior manager of marketing for Honda. “Crash statistics alone simply can’t tell the story of how a single crash can have a significant and lasting effect on family, friends and loved ones of people involved in a collision.”

Directed by award-winning commercial director Ringan Ledwidge, Honda’s “Safety for Everyone” spot will first air during tonight’s Friday night college football matchup on ESPN/ABC. The commercial will run on national cable and network television through November 30 and on sports networks through January 2020 during professional football, hockey and basketball games. The commercial leads a multichannel campaign that will also feature creative across Honda’s website and social media through the fall.

In addition, and to further advance its vision for a collision-free society, Honda will roll out a safety-focused social media campaign next month that features actual Honda customers who have benefited from Honda’s active and passive safety technologies. These inspiring stories are pulled from customers’ social media posts and letters Honda has received from thankful customers.  

Honda “Safety for Everyone” Approach
On the basis of this “Safety for Everyone” concept, Honda is committed to developing innovative safety technologies and equipping them to its automobiles, motorcycles and other powersports products toward Honda’s vision for a collision-free mobile society where its customers, and everyone sharing the road, can safely and confidently enjoy the freedom of mobility. 

Honda Sensing®
Honda Sensing® helps provide greater awareness of conditions around the vehicle, and in some cases can help drivers maintain lane position and, under certain conditions, is capable of slowing or even stopping the vehicle if a potential frontal collision has been detected. Comprising the Honda Sensing® suite of safety and driver assistive technologies are:

Cacique® Announces Top Trends in Mexican Cuisine — Old World Techniques, Emerging Mixology Ingredients and More Coming to Tables Across the Country in 2020

Cacique

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Cacique® Inc. – one of the country’s top authentic Mexican food brands – is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month by partnering with some of the most respected voices in the culinary industry to unveil What’s Next in Mexican Cuisine. Spotlighting the profound influence Mexican cuisine has in America, the company’s second annual forecast includes food and beverage trends to watch for in 2020 alongside trend-inspired recipes developed by the panelists.

Cacique curated a panel of top culinary talent to develop this year’s predictions. Led by the company’s long-term partner, award-winning chef and TV personality Aarón Sánchez, the panel also includes the talents of James Beard Best Chef West semifinalist Chef Claudette Zepeda and Chef Thomas Ortega of Amor y Tacos in Los Angeles, as well as the unique perspectives of James Beard award-winning food writer and author Bill Esparza and Mixologist Alex Valencia of La Contenta in New York.

“We created What’s Next in Mexican Cuisine to extend our brand values – Family, Integrity, Quality and Authenticity – beyond the products that we craft every day, and shine a light on the impact Mexican cuisine has in our country during an important time for our community, Hispanic Heritage Month,” said Gil de Cardenas, Chief Executive Officer, Cacique, Inc. “We’re proud to celebrate authenticity in Mexican cuisine, and, at the same time, look ahead toward what’s to come – all in partnership with several of the most prominent voices in the culinary world today.”

The top Mexican food and beverage trends for 2020 include:

  • Mexican herbs like hoja santa, epazote and marjoram will rise to the top as a flavor trend, showing up in cocktails and dishes alike
  • Nixtamalization – an ancient process that transforms corn into masa – will enter the spotlight as a revered culinary technique when it comes to making fresh, homemade tortillas and tamales
  • Interest in plant-based cooking will extend into Mexican cuisine as chefs swap meat for popular and regional vegetables in traditional dishes
  • From chapulines to escamoles, more people will begin embracing insects as ingredients, particularly when incorporated into sauces
  • The Yucatan Peninsula and Central Mexico will stand out as hot spots influencing Mexican cuisine as a whole, and as culinary destinations
  • The Valle de Guadalupe will pick up steam as one of the world’s hottest up-and-coming wine regions
  • Pulque, tepache and Mexican whiskeys will heat up as trending cocktail ingredients
  • As access to more fresh and regional ingredients grows, home chefs will be more empowered to cook from scratch in their own kitchens
  • Young chefs will take inspiration from their family and regional heritage, but modernize these Mexican traditions with their own twists
  • Mexican cuisine will be more recognized as complex and layered – rather than always spicy and heavy

“As we look toward 2020, I’m excited to see a broad new appreciation for Mexican cuisine as its place within the culinary world continues to be elevated,” said Chef Aarón Sánchez. “There are so many talented chefs out there bringing back old school dishes, methods and ingredients with a spirit of reinvention or creating something entirely new. What’s Next in Mexican Cuisine provides a platform to showcase these trends and inspires those at home to explore our cuisine by creating meals that are made with authentic ingredients and embrace both our rich history and bright future.”

Each of the panelists designed a recipe that embodies their predictions, so that anyone can experience next year’s top Mexican food trends right in their own kitchens. The recipes include Tamales with Jackfruit “Carnitas” by Chef Aarón Sánchez, Celery Root and Potato Taquitos by Chef Claudette Zepeda, a Short Rib Birria QuesaTaco by Chef Thomas Ortega, a Mini Brefas Tlayuda by Bill Esparza and a Chorizo Old Fashioned by Mixologist Alex Valencia.

For more than 45 years, Cacique has remained a family-owned company dedicated to producing the highest-quality authentic products, including Mexican cheeses, creams, chorizos and yogurts. This year, the brand expanded its range of Mexican meal and snack-time essentials to include authentic Homestyle Salsas, Mexican-Style Queso Dips and Fully Cooked Chorizos.

FUD Celebrates Real Hispanic Heroes During Hispanic Heritage Month

Hispanic_Heroes_English

PHOENIX, Sept. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — During Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate culture, customs, and the achievements of Latinos living in the United States. For the second consecutive year, FUD (which stands for Fine, Unique, and Delicious) is recognizing a group of Latinos as “Real Hispanic Heroes” for their inspiring success stories and efforts to improve themselves and their communities.

FUD, a brand owned by Sigma, was born in Mexico nearly 70 years ago. In the late 90’s, FUD began to expand its reach into the U.S. by marketing meat and cheese products.

“FUD is a Hispanic brand and we know the challenges of reaching a culturally different country, of adapting to the circumstances, because we have experienced these situations and that is why we want to acknowledge these heroes,” says Rafael Amezcua, member of the marketing team at FUD in the U.S.

Sergio Sandoval is one of the Real Hispanic Heroes recognized by FUD. Sergio is a NASA Aerospace Engineer who works at the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) in Pasadena, California. To fulfill his dream of reaching the stars, Sergio had to live away from his family and learn a new language and new customs while maintaining his sense of self and Hispanic heritage.

FUD recognizes Sergio because on his journey to achieving his dream of working at NASA, he relied heavily on the support of the Hispanic community. He received the strength and inspiration that motivated him to overcome challenges because he knew he was not alone.

“NASA is not a U.S. organization, NASA is world organization, because everything we discover changes textbooks in any country. It is an example of what we can do when we are united,” said Sergio.

To learn more about FUD’s Real Hispanic Heroes of 2019, visit http://www.fudusa.com/heroes and FUD USA on Facebook every week, from September 15th until October 15th.

IRVINE, California, Sept. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Mazda announced today a three-year partnership with the National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame to support the William V. Campbell Trophy® presented by Mazda, college football’s premier scholar-athlete award.

Mazda North American Operations is headquartered in Irvine, Calif., and oversees the sales, marketing, parts and customer service support of Mazda vehicles in the United States and Mexico through nearly 700 dealers. Operations in Mexico are managed by Mazda Motor de Mexico in Mexico City. For more information on Mazda vehicles, including photography and B-roll, please visit the online Mazda media center at www.mazdausamedia.com.

“For three decades, the William V. Campbell Trophy® has recognized individuals who best reflect humility, dedication and inventive approaches to overcoming challenges. These individuals have a strong commitment to their teammates, academics and community,” said Dino Bernacchi, chief marketing officer for Mazda North American Operations. “Born out of Hiroshima, Japan, Mazda holds dear that same philosophy: pushing past boundaries, realizing potential and inspiring others to do the same.”

This college football season, Mazda is proud to launch its Power of Potential Platform, a program developed to honor individuals making a difference, pushing to their potential and inspiring others.  The platform will kick off by sponsoring The William V. Campbell Trophy® presented by Mazda, which ranks as one of college football’s most sought after and competitive awards, recognizing an individual as the best in the country for his combined academic success, football performance and community leadership. Past recipients have gone on to impressive careers, ranging from doctors to corporate executives, with gridiron greats such as Peyton Manning (Tennessee) and Christian Wilkins (Clemson).

Other past winners include John Urschel, a standout player at Penn State. Following a successful professional football career, he retired to pursue a Ph.D. in mathematics from MIT and is now a published mathematician. Urschel recently penned a New York Times op-ed, “Math Teachers Should Be More Like Football Coaches,” citing a lack of academic encouragement during his own childhood. He even works to inspire the next generation to drive their interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).

“At the heart of the National Football Foundation is the nation’s premier scholar-athlete award, The William V. Campbell Trophy® presented by Mazda – a distinguished honor bestowed to those who meet the highest standards of on-field performance, academic excellence and community leadership,” said NFF Chairman Archie Manning. “That same pedigree is required of our partners, which is why we are proud to work with Mazda, who shares our common mission of inspiring others to reach their full potential.”

First awarded in 1990, the trophy is named in honor of the late Bill Campbell, the former chairman of Intuit and a former player and head football coach at Columbia University. His impact and success was recently chronicled in the “Trillion Dollar Coach: The Leadership Playbook of Silicon Valley’s Bill Campbell,” co-authored by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt.

This year’s finalists will be announced on October 30th and the 30th William V. Campbell Trophy® presented by Mazda will be awarded during the 62nd NFF Annual Awards Dinner in New York City on December 10th.

Steeped in history and tradition, Arsenal Football Club has thrived on a pioneering and innovative spirit that has existed throughout its 133 years in existence. While society and football may have changed during this time, Arsenal has always served to create a sense of community for people in north London, across the UK and around the world.

Since 2015 Arsenal have operated a commercial office in Singapore, as well as at Highbury House, north London.

“The Honda CR-V is the best-selling CUV over the past two decades and the updates we’ve made to the 2020 model, including a new hybrid-electric variant, solidify its position as a leader in the compact SUV market,” said Henio Arcangeli, Jr., senior vice president of Automobile Sales at American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “The CR-V Hybrid also signifies our direction to bring Honda hybrid-electric technology to all core models and to invest in the production of electrified vehicles in America.”

Honda Electrification Initiative

Honda is targeting two-thirds of its global automobile sales to come from electrified vehicles by 2030. In North America, Honda is focusing on the expanded application of its advanced two-motor hybrid-electric technology as the most effective means to meet customer needs while realizing significant near-term gains in fuel efficiency and accompanying reductions in CO2 emissions that contribute to global climate change.

U.S. sales of electrified Honda vehicles are on track for a third consecutive year of growth. For the first eight months of 2019, sales of Accord Hybrid, Insight and Clarity have reached 42,270 combined sales, propelling Honda electrified vehicle sales to year-over-year gains of 67.9 percent. In 2018, Honda set a new record of 49,914 electrified vehicle sales in the U.S., which were nearly double 2017 results.

Advanced Powertrains

The 2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid promises substantially improved fuel efficiency while maintaining CR-V’s award-winning balance of interior space, driving dynamics and comfort that has made CR-V such a success with American buyers. The CR-V’s advanced two-motor hybrid powertrain, shared with the current Accord Hybrid, combines two electric motors with a 2.0-liter, 16-valve DOHC Atkinson cycle engine with greater than 40 percent thermal efficiency, the highest for any mass-produced Honda engine.

The CR-V’s two-motor system operates without the need for a conventional automatic transmission for smooth and seamless power delivery similar to a pure electric vehicle, and boasts a broad range of electric-only operation. The compact intelligent power unit (IPU), containing the hybrid battery pack and its control systems, is mounted under the cargo floor, allowing the new CR-V Hybrid to retain excellent cargo utility, including a 60/40 split rear seatback with a flat load floor. Peak total system horsepower is 212, up from 190 HP on the CR-V, along with an anticipated 50 percent increase in the EPA city fuel economy rating compared to the CR-V.

The CR-V Hybrid also marks the first application of all-wheel drive to Honda’s two-motor hybrid system in the U.S. When available traction is low, an electronic clutch activates, sending the appropriate level of power from the electric motor to the rear wheels. Detailed specifications on the new CR-V Hybrid, including EPA fuel economy ratings, will be provided closer to on-sale timing early in 2020.

Also for 2020, all non-hybrid CR-V models, including LX, are powered by the efficient 1.5-liter DOHC, direct-injected VTEC™ Turbo powerplant rated at 190 horsepower (SAE net), with responsive and refined performance across the engine’s full operating range. Available in front- or all-wheel drive configurations, power is transmitted through a smooth yet sporty continuously variable transmission (CVT) with Honda G-Shift control logic.

Sophisticated Interior and Exterior Styling

Exterior styling updates to the 2020 Honda CR-V result in a more upscale and rugged appearance. In front, broad openings for the fog lights are fully integrated into the bumper, giving the 2020 CR-V a more aggressive look, while the chrome grille is more pronounced. CR-V EX, EX-L and Touring trims get round LED fog lights, while CR-V Hybrid models in the same trims get distinctive bar-type fog lights with five LEDs.

CR-V Hybrid models will also get hybrid badging and a distinctive blue Honda logo in the center of the grille. In the rear, all CR-V trims feature sophisticated new dark-tinted taillights and a new dark chrome treatment for the garnish below the rear glass, better integrated with the more darkly tinted rear window. In addition to hybrid badges on the hatch, CR-V Hybrid Touring trims receive a unique rear bumper. CR-V Hybrid also has a hidden tailpipe, while non-hybrid CR-V Touring trims get new chrome exhaust finishers for a sporty appearance. All CR-V EX and EX-L trims, including Hybrid, get newly designed 18-inch wheels with a dark gray and machined finish, and Touring trims get a new, larger 19-inch wheel and tire (+1 inch).

Three new exterior colors are available for 2020: Sonic Gray Pearl and Radiant Red Metallic on standard and Hybrid models, and new Aegean Blue Metallic is available exclusively on non-hybrid models.

Inside, the new CR-V Hybrid is distinguished from non-hybrid models through its unique interior trim. Most apparent is the new push-button gear selector flanked by three switches for Econ, Sport or EV mode. Econ mode alters throttle inputs to help drivers maximize fuel efficiency, while Sport enhances throttle response for a more aggressive feel, with the engine sound enhanced by Active Sound Control for a sportier note. EV Mode allows the CR-V Hybrid to operate under electric-only power when the hybrid battery has a sufficient charge.

The instrument panel also is unique to CR-V Hybrid models, and features a display for power/charge status, as well as a driver-selectable display for power distribution and regeneration. CR-V Hybrid models also receive deceleration selector paddles on the steering wheel. By clicking the left paddle, drivers can increase the amount of regenerative braking from the hybrid system’s electric motor when decelerating.

All 2020 Honda CR-V models and trims benefit from a redesigned center console bin that is easier to use and offers more flexible storage options, and CR-V Touring trims now come standard with Qi-compatible wireless cell phone charging. Additional in-vehicle technology includes a color TFT driver-information interface (DII) center meter display, available 7-inch touchscreen Display Audio interface with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, and an available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™. Also available are remote engine start, dual-zone climate control, an Electric Parking Brake (EPB), rear USB charging ports, front passenger seat with 4-way power adjustment, driver’s seat with 8-way power adjustment and 4-way power lumbar support, and heated front seats. All CR-V models, including the hybrid model, continue to offer top-class interior space with legendary Honda versatility.

Advanced Safety and Driver-Assistive Technology

With the 2020 model year, all Honda CR-Vs now come standard with the Honda Sensing® suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies, including:

  • Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and pedestrian sensing capability
  • Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) with Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with low-speed follow
  • Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS)

Additional driver-assistive technologies include the available blind spot information (BSI), Rear Cross Traffic Monitor (CTM) and Auto High Beam headlights.

CR-V Hybrid models benefit from a new Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) designed to increase awareness by pedestrians when travelling under electric-only power. A speaker mounted in the front bumper generates a distinct audible alert that varies in volume depending on vehicle speed and is easily noticeable to pedestrians, but nearly inaudible to the driver or passengers under most circumstances.

The 2020 Honda CR-V also incorporates Honda’s next-generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, helping CR-V achieve the highest possible collision safety ratings, including an NCAP 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and targeting a TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

Chassis Technology

The 2020 Honda CR-V and CR-V Hybrid maintain the same agile and confident handling, greater refinement, additional ground clearance and superior overall versatility versus its competition. Its front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link suspension use specially tuned low-friction dampers, with both FWD and AWD models including tubular front and solid rear stabilizer bars that promote responsive turn-in and flatter cornering. Dual-pinion, variable ratio Electric Power Steering (EPS) also contributes to the CR-V’s direct and satisfying steering feel. For CR-V Hybrid, an electronic servo brake pedal maintains a firm and linear brake feel like its non-hybrid sibling.

The ANA’s AIMM Introduces the Cultural Insights Impact Measure™ (CIIM™) Proving that Cultural Relevance Drives Real Brand Results

ANA_AIMM_Cultural_Insights_Impact_Measure_Study

NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A breakthrough new study that proves the incremental value of genuinely reflecting culture in marketing creative was unveiled today by The Association of National Advertisers’ (ANA) Alliance for Inclusive and Multicultural Marketing (AIMM). The Cultural Insights Impact Measure™ (CIIM™) was developed by AIMM in partnership with NBCUniversal and AIMM member companies. CIIM™ evaluates advertising creative in various categories and identifies the impact and effectiveness of cultural insights in ads and programming on increased brand relevance, ad relevance, purchase intent lift, and loyalty. 

“CIIM™ points at the role that cultural insights play in forming deep consumer-brand connections that lead to significant value creation,” said Carlos Santiago, Co-Founder, AIMM and President, Santiago Solutions Group, who led the study team. “Genuinely mirroring cultural values, in the eyes of consumers, boosts their recall, interest, net promoter scores and purchase intent. These findings present marketers with a paradigm shift as to how culture can optimize growth opportunities.”

Released today, initial findings from CIIM™ – which included a survey of 10,000 individuals across demographics including Hispanics, African-Americans, Asians, LGTBQ+, the Disabled community, and Non-Hispanic White – found that culturally-relevant ads are a key driver of brand affinity and purchase intent. 

CIIM™ results revealed that consumers who perceive ads as culturally relevant, compared to those who do not, are: 

  • 1.5x more likely to learn more about the brand;
  • 2.8x more likely to recommend the brand to others;
  • 2.6x more likely to find the brand relevant to them;
  • 3x more likely to find the ad relevant to them;
  • 2.7x more likely to purchase a brand for the first time;
  • 50% more likely to repurchase a brand they have bought in the past.

Bob Liodice, CEO, Association of National Advertisers, said, “ANA is extremely proud of AIMM and NBCU for the rollout of CIIM. One of the cornerstones of ANA’s growth mission is measurement. The utilization of CIIM provides marketers and the industry with a powerful measurement tool that will enhance culturally relevant creative to engineer incremental brand and business growth.”

“At NBCUniversal, we have always known the value of diversity and multicultural representation in advertising and media,” said Laura Molen, President, Advertising Sales and Partnerships, NBCUniversal. “While we hear from marketers in every industry that reaching diverse and multicultural audiences is critical, we partnered with AIMM to create CIIM™ to show the broader media and advertising community what we already experienced to be true: culturally-relevant creative and environment drive real brand results.”

Insights from CIIM™ will also fuel the launch of #SeeALL, a movement that will course-correct the issue of representation and illuminate growth opportunities for brands within multicultural segments. Together, CIIM™ and #SeeALL will prove not only that culture matters, but that cultural relevance and inclusivity are good for both society and for business.

“People are thirsty for culturally relevant content and we have an obligation as marketers to follow both the head and the heart – to drive growth in our businesses and bring America with us – that’s why AIMM is launching the #SeeALL movement within the marketing industry,” said Tony Rogers, Chair, AIMM, and Chief Member Officer, Sam’s Club.

“Inclusion and authentic cultural representation are the right thing for our country; the right thing for our businesses and the right thing for the marketing community,” said Michael Lacorazza, Founding Chair, AIMM, and Head of Integrated Marketing, Wells Fargo.

In the coming months, AIMM, in partnership with NBCUniversal, will release the full scope of the results across all consumer segments.  To make the findings actionable for marketers, CIIM™ will also be developing a baseline, norms for industry, segments, and individual CIIM™ scores available for creative assets provided by advertisers.  In 2020, the study will provide learnings on how culture impacts ROI. CIIM™ will serve as an actionable tool in guiding marketers, advertisers and the entertainment industry on how to best reflect, understand and respect all consumers in order to drive profit and growth.

Revolutionary Mini-Pitch Brings Soccer to Underserved Areas

US_Soccer_Foundation___Logo

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Girls and boys across the country, including thousands in underserved communities, will gain new access to Safe Places to Play over the next seven years thanks to a new and enhanced Mini-Pitch System™ designed for youth soccer.

These modular pitches – designed by the U.S. Soccer Foundation and Musco Lighting – are complete with lights to increase the number of hours kids and adults can use the space, benches to watch the play unfold, lockable storage for equipment, and include a comprehensive, long-term warranty to eliminate maintenance costs. Together, the mini-pitch system provides a compact but versatile unit that provides a fast, trouble-free installation, fits into urban environments or other areas where space is at a premium, and provides a safer place to play for kids and for the community to gather.

Although participation in youth sports is definitively associated with better health and academic achievement, more than 80 percent of children living in households making less than $25,000 miss out on the benefits of team sports. Furthermore, one in three Americans don’t have a park within a 10-minute walk from home, leaving too many kids without access to a soccer program or safe place for free play.

To address these barriers, the Foundation and its partners are creating 1,000 new mini-pitches nationwide by 2026 and working to offer youth development soccer programming at these sites at no cost to participants. In addition to providing access, the creation of mini-pitches has lasting community benefits: 98% of communities report that the people in their community are more active and 96% report the community feels safer with the addition of mini-pitch. Further, soccer mini-pitches serve as neighborhood gathering places for families, and nearly one-third of the kids who come to play on them are new to soccer.

“There just aren’t enough safe places for kids to play, especially in underserved communities,” said Ed Foster-Simeon, President & CEO of the U.S. Soccer Foundation. “We’re creating these mini-pitches right in the neighborhoods where kids live and go to school, so they are easy for kids to access. The addition of lights to every mini-pitch, thanks to our partnership with Musco Lighting, will allow even more kids and families to play, especially in the darker, winter months. This means even more kids can benefit from all our game offers.”

“At the heart of the Foundation’s mission is empowering youth with confidence, teamwork, and life skills built through participation in soccer, and that’s a mission we believe in very strongly,” said Joe Crookham, President of Musco. “This mini-pitch system will improve our ability to expand these opportunities more efficiently to more communities that need them. We’re very proud to partner with the Foundation in this important endeavor.”

This model will be used for newly sourced U.S. Soccer Foundation mini-pitch projects. Over the past five years, the U.S. Soccer Foundation has created more than 200 mini-pitches nationwide, with 100 more to come in the next year. More than 15 of this new mini-pitch system are already in use in Cincinnati, OH; Columbus, OH; Dallas, TX; Manchester, NH; Newark, NJ; Oklahoma City, OK; Orlando, FL; and Phoenix, AZ.

Today’s announcement will be made at the grand opening of a new mini-pitch at Reynolds Middle School in the city of Fairview in metropolitan Portland. The mini-pitch was a gift from the W.J. Silverstein Family Trust and is the third mini-pitch that the Trust worked with the U.S. Soccer Foundation to create in the Portland area. Jake Silverstein, co-owner of MLS’s Houston Dynamo and NWSL’s Houston Dash, said, “We are so excited to witness the amazingly positive impact these Safe Places to Play are having across our communities. Playing soccer from a young age can be instrumental in fostering a lifetime of health and wellbeing.”

Musco Lighting is a national partner in the U.S. Soccer Foundation’s It’s Everyone’s Game movement, which is working to ensure that children living in underserved communities can enjoy the health and youth development benefits of the game. Other national partners include adidas, Major League Soccer, and Target. Each of these national partners has been critical to helping the Foundation increase access to the game and its benefits through the creation of mini-pitches.
