Not only will the show introduce Lucha Libre AAA to American viewers on a massive scale, but the date of September 15 is sentimental to the league for a number of reasons.

“The night of September 15 is very important for all Mexicans since it is the eve of Independence Day in Mexico, but this date is also recognized in the U.S. as the beginning of the Hispanic Heritage Month,” said Dorian Roldan, General Director of Wrestling AAA Worldwide. “We are excited to be working with FITE, and to have the opportunity to share our culture with their fan community through these two amazing shows.”

StarKist® Donates $100,000 To Feed The Children To Help End Childhood Hunger

July 23, 2019

PITTSBURGH, July 23, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — StarKist®, a food company that provides trusted, healthy seafood and chicken in the United States, is honored to donate $100,000 to Feed the Children. The nonprofit is dedicated to relieving child hunger, and StarKist has been a proud supporter of Feed the Children since 2009.

For more than 10 years, StarKist has contributed more than $1.45 million dollars in tuna product help to children and families across the U.S. and an additional estimated $400,000 for disaster and emergency response efforts over the past few years.

“One in six children goes to bed hungry in the United States. StarKist has heart for those in need, and we are proud to continue our partnership with Feed the Children.” said Andrew Choe, StarKist President and CEO. “We have seen, firsthand, how Feed the Children is making a tangible difference in the lives of children and families, and we appreciate everything they do in the fight against poverty and hunger. Through this partnership, we hope to decrease child hunger in surrounding areas with our financial support and by providing nutritious, shelf-stable protein.”

The 2019 partnership will officially kick-off in StarKist’s hometown of Pittsburgh, PA, on Tuesday, July 23, where StarKist employees will fill 700 backpacks with school supplies and snacks. An estimated 500 backpacks will be donated to school-aged children who participate in Light of Life Rescue Mission’s Women & Children’s program. Established in 1952, Light of Life Rescue Mission is a Christian nonprofit organization providing life changing recovery programs and food and shelter for Pittsburgh’s poor and homeless.  The additional backpacks will be distributed to 200 children who participate in the United Methodist Church Union’s Kids Meal Network program. The Kids Meal Network feeds food insecure children in the Greater Pittsburgh area, and StarKist is a sponsor of three summer-feeding locations.

The StarKist team will be in Rancho Cucamonga, CA on Thursday, July 25, with Abundant Living Family Church in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. During the west-coast event more than 400 pre-selected families will receive boxes of food and hygiene items, as well as backpacks filled with school supplies and StarKist products.

“We call the U.S. the land of plenty, and for most of us, that’s true. Yet, millions of boys and girls are going to bed hungry every night,” said Travis Arnold, Feed the Children president and CEO. “By combining efforts with generous partners such as StarKist and Light of Life Rescue Mission we are trying to put an end to that. These families are not only receiving food and necessities, but also the skills needed to break the cycle of poverty.”

About StarKist Co.
StarKist Co. provides trusted, healthy, food products in the United States. An industry innovator, StarKist was the first brand to introduce StarKist single-serve pouch products, which include Tuna Creations®, Salmon Creations® and Chicken Creations™. As America’s favorite tuna, StarKist represents a tradition of quality, consumer trust and a commitment to sustainability. StarKist’s charismatic brand icon, Charlie® the Tuna, swam into the hearts of tuna fans in 1961 and is still a fan favorite today. StarKist Co. is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Dongwon Industries Co., Ltd.

About Feed the Children:
At Feed the Children, we feed hungry kids. We envision a world where no child goes to bed hungry. In the U.S. and internationally, we are dedicated to helping families and communities achieve stable lives and to reducing the need for help tomorrow, while providing food and resources to help them today.

The Ad Council and Autism Speaks partner with Sesame Workshop to encourage early screening for autism in new multimedia public service campaign

July 23, 2019

NEW YORK, July 23, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Though autism can be reliably diagnosed as early as age 18 months, most children aren’t diagnosed until between 4 and 5 years old—and studies indicate that age is even higher for low-income and minority children. A new bilingual awareness campaign featuring Julia, a four-year-old Sesame Street Muppet with autism, launched today to promote early screening and diagnosis, which can open a world of possibilities for the estimated 1 in 59 children with autism.

Experience the interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/8577651-ad-council-sesame-workshop-early-autism-screening/

The multimedia campaign, including new video public service announcements, grew out of a partnership between the Ad Council, Autism Speaks and Sesame Workshop. The campaign stars Julia and her Sesame Street friends and family, helping parents to learn the signs of autism and understand the importance of early screening and diagnosis, ultimately making a meaningful difference in the lives of children with autism.

“Receiving an autism diagnosis is just the first step in creating a better future for a child on the spectrum, and there are multiple benefits to getting that early diagnosis,” said Autism Speaks President and CEO Angela Geiger. “Research shows that early intervention can have a positive impact in so many ways, and we are dedicated to helping parents learn the signs and feel empowered to help their children lead their best lives.”

While the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends screening for every child at the 18- and 24-month well-child visits, a recent survey conducted by the Ad Council and Autism Speaks found that 66 percent of parents of children ages 6 and under say their child has not been screened for autism. This prompted the creation of the campaign focused on promoting early screening and the resources and possibilities that are available once a child is diagnosed.

With pro-bono support from ad agency BBDO and sister agency Dieste, the English and Spanish-language videos show Julia taking on everyday activities in her unique way, whether it’s playing music with her friends or communicating with her family using a “talker,” an electronic tablet. Julia’s adventures show audiences that the more her family and friends understand her world, the brighter she shines.

“Early screening made a lifetime of difference for Julia and her family, and we’re thrilled to share her story with families through this campaign,” said Sherrie Westin, President of Social Impact and Philanthropy, Sesame Workshop. “Through our Sesame Street and Autism: See Amazing in All Children initiative, Julia has shown that all children are amazing in their own ways. With the right support, every child can reach their full potential.”

The spot encourages parents to visit ScreenForAutism.org or DeteccionDeAutismo.org, where they can find resources in both English and Spanish to help identify the signs of autism, access an autism screening questionnaire, seek information from Autism Speaks’ Autism Response Team and find supports for before, during and after diagnosis. The site also includes free, bilingual resources for families from the Sesame Street and Autism: See Amazing in All Children initiative. Building on the print, online and outdoor public service announcements released in April, the new videos will appear nationwide in donated media, in TV and digital formats.

“Innovative partnerships, like this one with Sesame Workshop and Autism Speaks, are critical to continuing the national dialogue about autism and helping parents understand the lifetime of difference early screening can make for children with autism,” Lisa Sherman, president and CEO of the Ad Council, said.

“Sesame Street has such an emotional and relatable connection with parents. By featuring Julia, we instantly become approachable for a topic that can sometimes be intimidating for them,” said Kevin Mulroy, Creative Director at BBDO NY. “Julia’s positivity and spirit help bring levity while communicating the signs of autism.”

The CDC reports the overall prevalence of autism in the U.S. is 1 in 59 children, yet the reported prevalence among white children is 7 percent higher than African-American children and 22 percent higher than Hispanic children – pointing to potential missed or delayed diagnosis in those groups. The campaign aims to help lower the age of diagnosis for all children, no matter their ethnicity or socioeconomic status. Studies show that early diagnosis and intensive behavioral intervention improves learning, communication and social skills in young children with autism spectrum disorder.

Autism affects an estimated 1 in 59 children.

July 22, 2019

Its proprietary Seed to Seal(R) process ensures exacting standards are met every step of the way, from seed to seal. This commitment stems from the company's stewardship towards the earth and its people all over the world. For more information, visit: www.youngliving.com .

Clean Kisses Make Their Debut in a Big Way

LEHI, Utah, July 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Young Living Essential Oils, the world leader in essential oils, today announced that they’ve successfully broken a world record for the most contributions to a lipstick mural! At the International Grand Convention, Young Living’s premier event for members of the organization, members put on Young Living’s Savvy Minerals^® lipstick and left their mark on a 20′ × 20′ Young Living banner. The record-breaking attempt is part of the Clean Kisses campaign, a global branding initiative for the Savvy Minerals by Young Living makeup line.

Always setting industry standards in the wellness industry, Young Living is now setting The NEW Standard in Clean Beauty™ by not only banning questionable mainstream ingredients, but also by taking a deeper look at what women should really be putting on their skin to nourish it. This means that Savvy Minerals has banned even more ingredients than the 1,328 prohibited by the European Union. In fact, Savvy Minerals has banned more than 2,500 ingredients and even some “natural ingredients” other clean makeup companies use.

Kristen Knight, Senior VP of Product Management Marketing, said, “Many people may not realize that because lipstick is worn all day, every day, and lip skin is so delicate, that what they put on their lips is critical. If lip color isn’t pure and nourishing, it can be a problem! At Young Living we are passionate about delivering the next level in clean lip color with products that not only keep known toxins off lips, but also nourish the skin with natural ingredients like therapeutic-grade tangerine oil. We’re excited to be standing proud with our members and drawing attention to the importance of clean beauty through this record-breaking effort!”

A Young Living-branded 150′ airship that flew over Utah County and Salt Lake County for the duration of the 2019 International Grand Convention had the honor of make the victorious reveal. When the record was officially achieved, the airship unfurled the banner above the tens of thousands of Young Living convention attendees during their final day of general session.

The GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ officials were in attendance to record the attempt and verified that the successful Clean Kisses campaign broke the previous record for most contributions to a lipstick mural, making Young Living the newest world record holder.

July 22, 2019

MIAMI, July 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Súbete A mi Moto (Get on my motorcycle), the series about the life of the Puerto Rican band Menudo co-produced by SOMOS Productions (the production company of SOMOS Group) along with Piñolywood Studios and Endemol Shine Boomdog, will start production in Mexico City on July 29, to then continue filming in Puerto Rico. This marks the beginning of the production phase of this long-awaited series, which has caused great stir in the industry, since it narrates the story of one of the most popular pop music bands of the 70s and a hotbed of internationally famous artists.

Súbete a Mi Moto tells the saga and the unprecedented success of the Puerto Rican band that launched the careers of music stars such as Ricky Martin, Draco Rosa, Johnny Lozada, Ricky Meléndez and others. The band achieved an unprecedented international projection guided by Edgardo Díaz, creator of the idea. There is a lot of expectation to see the talents that will assume the challenge to represent a group with so much scene and vocal appeal and that managed to conquer markets all over the world. There is also anticipation as well about the narrative style of a story of so many angles and details.

Luis Villanueva, president and CEO of SOMOS Productions, shared his satisfaction: “Once the scripts are finished and the casting selected, we enter fully into a project that has captivated us. It is a unique story for its time and unforgettable for those who lived the rage of menudomania. We know this story has a prior acceptance among the audience and we have made an important commitment with our partners to deliver a first class product. We are sure that Súbete A mi Moto will satisfy the demands of the fans and will do justice to a fascinating history of the music in Spanish in all audiences. It’s a complex but very satisfying project for a team that has already accumulated much recognition in the independent production industry. “

Endemol Shine Boomdog CEO Alejandro Rincon added, “This was truly a ground-breaking band that took the world by storm. The story behind them is one that has never been told in this fashion and we are excited to start production with our friends at Somos and Piñolywood Studios.”

Carlos Nido, President of Piñolywood Studios, commented: “Throughout the series we are documenting the entire history and trajectory of the Puerto Rican musical group that opened the way to success for many other musicians, a space that great stars of the international music industry have later passed. This is a great privilege for the whole team and we are very excited to start the project. We will also give the opportunity to new young talents of the country to be globally shown through this series. “

Súbete a Mi Moto consists of 15 episodes of 60 minutes. The audience will witness the evolution of the band from its participation in small celebrations, to become a massive international phenomenon.

EFX logo - Powering the World with Knowledge

ATLANTA, July 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Equifax Inc. (NYSE: EFX) today announced a comprehensive resolution of significant U.S. consumer-related litigation and regulatory matters facing the company related to its 2017 cybersecurity incident.

The $671 million resolution includes settlement agreements that would resolve the multi-district consumer class action litigation, as well as investigations by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the Attorneys General of 48 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, and the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS).

If approved by the Court, a consumer restitution fund of up to $425 million will be available to pay for three-bureau credit monitoring for consumers whose information was impacted in the 2017 breach, actual out-of-pocket losses related to the breach, and other consumer benefits such as identity restoration services. Equifax has been providing free credit monitoring services to consumers since September 2017.

“This comprehensive settlement is a positive step for U.S. consumers and Equifax as we move forward from the 2017 cybersecurity incident and focus on our transformation investments in technology and security as a leading data, analytics, and technology company,” said Equifax Chief Executive Officer, Mark W. Begor. “The consumer fund of up to $425 million that we are announcing today reinforces our commitment to putting consumers first and safeguarding their data – and reflects the seriousness with which we take this matter. We have been committed to resolving this issue for consumers and have the financial capacity to manage the settlement while continuing our $1.25 billion EFX2020 technology and security investment program. We are focused on the future of Equifax and returning to market leadership and growth.”

As part of the resolution, Equifax has agreed to continue the significant steps it has taken in the wake of the cybersecurity incident to enhance its information security and technology program. It also has agreed to make payments totaling $290.5 million directly to certain state and federal regulatory agencies and to pay attorneys’ fees and costs in the multi-district litigation. Equifax recorded an accrual of $690 million in the first quarter of 2019 and expects to increase its accrual by approximately $11 million in the second quarter of 2019 principally related to the comprehensive consumer settlement, resulting in a total $701 million accrual related to the 2017 cybersecurity incident.

If the Court approves, members of the settlement class will receive notification of their rights and options as part of the multi-district litigation. More information can be found at www.equifaxbreachsettlement.com.

Latino Business Lending Group, Préstamos Comerciales Ahora capitalized with $12 million to issue funding to US Latino owned businesses

July 22, 2019

Préstamos Comerciales Ahora is a B2B lender dedicated to bridging the financing gap for Latino owned American small businesses. PCA plans to contribute heavily to the recent growth in the Latino market by providing affordable loan products to stimulate their success.

NEW YORK, July 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Préstamos Comerciales Ahora (PCA www.prestamoscomercialesahora.com), a company solely funding Latino owned businesses, was recently backed by B2B lender Cast Capital for $12.3 million. According to a 2018 report published by Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, the Latino business community generates roughly $510 billion in sales annually. However, there is still a shortage of financing options for owners in regards to traditional banking. PCA is committed to aiding in the continuous growth of this market with its new financing programs.

The report also revealed that since 2007 the Latino owned business market has seen a staggering growth of 46% and that and currently represents 12% of all firms in the US. Even though this market has evidently been growing strong, banks and lending institutions commonly have an extensive and somewhat unrealistic list of qualifications needed for their products. The combination of extensive qualification standards from the banks and misinformation on the proper loan application process, has created The Latino Entrepreneurship Gap.

PCA is an alternative and licensed online lender dedicated to shrinking this gap. Their mission is to service Hispanic business owners in the language of their preference, all while contributing to the growth of Latin entrepreneurship in America.

Provide financing options for Latino owned business to create bridge of opportunity
Educate owners on how to improve their credit profile and financial status
Stimulate the ever-growing market of Latino owned businesses
Create an easy process and excellent service in the language of preference

In the words of Senior Funding Specialist Jennifer Dominguez, “We are committed to helping every single one of the Latino Business Owners to improve their businesses and achieve the American dream.”
