Estrella Jalisco Partners with Universal Music Latin Entertainment to Pay Tribute to Mexican Music Legend Pedro Infante for Día de Los Muertos

October 23, 2017

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Estrella Jalisco, a premium pilsner beer with more than 100 years of Mexican brewing tradition, announced today that it will honor Golden Age singer and actor Pedro Infante as part of Hollywood Forever’s 2017 Day of the Dead celebration. This homage, in partnership with Universal Music Latin Entertainment (UMLE), will come to life in the form of a special performance by Mexican musical artists Kinky, El Dasa and Pedro’s own daughter Lupita Infante who will reinterpret the legend’s songs live on stage at the Hollywood Forever Día de los Muertos Celebration in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 28, 2017.

“This year marks 100 years since Pedro Infante’s birth and his memory has transcended generations because he is the cultural symbol of the Mexican spirit, something that’s very important to a proud Mexican beer like Estrella Jalisco,” said Yonathan Bendesky, Senior Brand Director for Anheuser-Busch, Mexican Imports. “Our brand started a tradition of honoring iconic stars with Mexican heritage last year for Día de Los Muertos and we look forward to continuing that tradition this year by honoring Pedro Infante.”

Pedro Infante fans who are not able to attend the Los Angeles celebration can also participate in the homage by livestreaming the performance on the Estrella Jalisco Facebook page. In addition, in honor of his life and musical legacy, UMLE will release a tribute album titled “Pedro Infante 100 Años” on Friday, October 27. The album will feature artists of various genres paying tribute to one of Mexico’s most important musical figures, also known as “The Idol of Guamúchil.” Pancho Barraza, Chuy Lizárraga, José Manuel Figueroa, Alicia Villarreal, Emir Pabón, José María Napoleón, Kinky, El Dasa and Lupita Infante are some of the artists that will contribute to 12 musical memorials.

“It’s no doubt that artists today are still influenced by Pedro who continues to be one of the most important Mexican artists in history,” said Jesus Malverde Gonzalez, Senior Vice President, Brands & Partnerships at UMLE. “This tribute CD “100 Años” and the celebratory concert maintain his essence while offering fresh arrangements to attract a new generation of Pedro Infante fans now and for another 100 years.”

As Día de Los Muertos in the United States has gone beyond remembrance to become a celebration of Mexican culture and art, Estrella Jalisco has looked pay homage to those Mexican artists who have impacted Mexican music not only in Mexico but internationally. Last year, the brand paid tribute to the late Jenni Rivera by launching the first-ever Hispanic 3D hologram during the event. More than 40,000 witnessed the departed La Mariposa del Barrio retake the stage to sing “Cuando Muere una Dama” or “When a Lady Dies.”

Día de Los Muertos is typically celebrated on November 2 in Mexico. In the U.S. and throughout some parts of Latin America, celebrations included parades and acts of remembrance that include food and music.

In its second year as sponsor of the largest Día de Los Muertos celebration in the U.S., Estrella Jalisco will also sponsor a Pedro Infante-themed art installation with pieces by Mexican L.A.-based artist Ricardo Soltero.

ANN ARBOR, Michigan, Oct. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Domino’s Pizza (NYSE: DPZ) is launching its 14th annual St. Jude Thanks and Giving^®campaign to raise “dough” for the kids of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital^®. The recognized world leader in pizza delivery’s campaign begins today, Oct. 23, 2017, and runs through Jan. 7, 2018.

Domino’s will ask customers online, over the phone and in stores to support St. Jude by adding a donation to their order or rounding up their order total to donate the change. Select customers enrolled in Domino’s Piece of the Pie Rewards^® loyalty program will be offered an opportunity to earn bonus points by donating. Details will be emailed to eligible customers during the campaign.

Customers can also help the kids of St. Jude by purchasing the St. Jude Meal Deal – a bundle that includes two medium one-topping Hand Tossed pizzas, a 16-piece order of Parmesan Bread Bites, an eight-piece order of recently-introduced Cinnamon Bread Twists, a two-liter of Coca-Cola^® and a $1 donation to St. Jude – for $19.99.

“Everyone at Domino’s is looking forward to coming together to raise awareness and funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, an organization that has grown to be a key part of our culture over the last 14 years,” said Patrick Doyle, Domino’s president and CEO. “We hope customers will join us in making this the most prosperous fundraising campaign yet.”

In 2016, Domino’s and its customers raised $7.3 million. This year, Domino’s is hoping to raise $7.5 million with the help of customers across the country.

The Domino’s team has also embraced St. Jude as its national charity partner outside of the St. Jude Thanks and Giving season.

“I am so grateful for our continued partnership with Domino’s and their commitment to the children of St. Jude,” said Marlo Thomas, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital national outreach director. “Because of the incredible support from Domino’s and their customers, holiday shoppers can help raise awareness and funds that directly support the research that leads to lifesaving treatments for these precious children across the country and around the world.”

Created by Marlo, Terre and Tony Thomas – children of St. Jude founder Danny Thomas – the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign asks people to “Give thanks for the healthy kids in your life, and give to those who are not” in order to help St. Jude continue its lifesaving mission: Finding cures. Saving children.^® St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since it opened more than 50 years ago, and they won’t stop until no child dies from cancer.

How One Bale Of Hay Can Save The World

October 20, 2017

SANTA CLARITA, California, Oct. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Gentle Barn has more than 100 animals who eat organic hay at their three locations in California, Tennessee and Missouri. With increasing headlines of violence and social disparity, it is easy to become discouraged. Founders Ellie Laks and Jay Weiner are very aware of the challenges our world faces and are dedicated to making it better through a variety of animal-therapy based programs.

Daisy Fuentes and Bella

“When supporters donate toward the purchase of a bale of hay for Gentle Barn animals, it allows us to use our “general funds” to do our work, rescuing animals and bringing in groups of children who desperately need our programs,” says Ellie. “People are losing hope! We work every day to restore faith in humanity and help people become gentle and respectful in their daily lives. By supporting The Gentle Barn you’re supporting peace on this planet.”

“When you donate towards a bale of hay, you’re not just feeding a rescued animal you’re also healing their hearts and showing them the power of a gentle world,” says Ellie. “In turn, once the animals recover and learn to trust humans again, they are able to give back unconditional love and hope through our many programs to wounded warriors, victims of domestic violence, children escaping gangs and drug and alcohol abuse. Please help us complete this vital circle of healing.”

Jimmy Smits Joins Stand Up To Cancer In New Public Service Announcement

October 20, 2017

LOS ANGELES and NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) has created a new cancer immunotherapy public service announcement (PSA) campaign, supported by a charitable donation from Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, and featuring award-winning actor and SU2C Ambassador Jimmy Smits. The print, TV, radio, out-of-home and digital PSAs will begin airing in October.

Photo – https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/587451/SU2C_Jimmy_Smits.jpg

The PSA, titled “Your Body Your Hope,” is aimed at increasing awareness about immunotherapy, a revolutionary new approach to cancer treatment in which a patient’s own powerful immune system is harnessed to attack and destroy cancer cells. One of the most exciting and rapidly evolving areas of cancer research, immunotherapy is already being used to effectively treat several forms of cancer, and is being actively researched in additional cancers.

The PSA encourages patients to visit StandUpToCancer.org/immunotherapy to learn more about immunotherapy and start the conversation with their doctor to find out if it is a viable treatment option for them. Jimmy Smits recorded the PSA in both English and Spanish in the hope of reaching a broad audience with this vital information.

“I am proud and honored to join Stand Up To Cancer in this critical initiative,” said award-winning actor Jimmy Smits, who guest stars in the new season of “How to Get Away With Murder,” the hit TV series. “Immunotherapy is on the cutting edge of cancer treatment and many patients who have been treated with immunotherapy have seen such promising results. Through this PSA, we hope to empower people diagnosed with cancer to ask their doctor if immunotherapy may be the right treatment option for them.”

In the English and Spanish language PSA, Smits says immunotherapy “is bringing hope to cancer survivors everywhere. Immunotherapy works by empowering your body’s own immune system to correctly identify and eradicate cancer cells. This approach has been used to successfully fight many types of cancers, with new research leading to greater hope each day.”

“Immunotherapy is one of the most promising developments in cancer research today,” said Stand Up To Cancer President and CEO, Sung Poblete, Ph.D., RN. “We are thrilled to have the support of this Bristol-Myers Squibb charitable donation, and to have the powerful voice of Jimmy Smits to help raise awareness about the increasing role of immunotherapy as a an effective option for cancer treatment.”

“As a long-standing supporter of Stand Up To Cancer, we share their commitment to advancing groundbreaking research and collaboration, particularly in the field of Immuno-Oncology,” said Johanna Mercier, president and head, U.S. Commercial, Bristol-Myers Squibb. “We are pleased to support their efforts to educate patients and their loved ones about the potential of the body’s immune system in finding and fighting cancer.”

Generac: Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Electrical Storms. How To Continue With Your Life And Your Business?

October 19, 2017

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Recently, hurricane Irma made landfall in Puerto Rico and the consequences were devastating. According to the island’s Emergency Management Agency, almost one million people ran out of electricity and there are more than 50,000 without water; 14 hospitals used generators due to loss of power, and some roads were obstructed by fallen trees and poles. The director of the agency warned that some areas could be without power for up to 6 months due to the deterioration of infrastructure.

It´s an earthquake, it’s an earthquake!

Recently Mexico City suffered one of the most damaging earthquakes since ’85. An earthquake of 7.1 shook the cities of Puebla, Mexico City and Morelos, causing fallen buildings, destroyed homes, homeless people, offices and evacuated companies for inspection of buildings’ infrastructure to see whether or not they can continue their activities.

In response to this incident, there was damage to the infrastructure of 93 telecommunications service sites in CDMX, which resulted in the loss of voice services. In the State of Mexico, the damages reached the infrastructure of 44 places and 7 in Morelos.

“Facing natural disasters with the force of an earthquake or hurricane, a culture of prevention is necessary, which means that we have the right tools for our day-to-day continuity. For this reason, it is important to always be prepared and have backup energy systems that allow for coping with the worst natural phenomenon or a failure in the supply of the public network”, said Samara Salgado, Marketing Director for Latin America of Generac.

Back-up units or a power generation system to prevent a power outage from putting the operation at risk in a home, businesses, schools and even large enterprises with critical applications are key equipment, which from Generac’s point of view must be considered in any continuity theme.

According to Samara, “In this context, electric power backup systems are no longer just a system for critical loads; nowadays they’ve become the system of systems, the backbone and a strategic tool for companies, either because the business is considered mission critical or just because it pretends to achieve a competitive advantage, while for the public sector, servicing and guiding the citizenry is not optional. The idea is to consider it as strategic within the business continuity and emergency service plan.”

The American Heart Association hosts inaugural summit on social determinants of health; addresses barriers and solutions to healthy living and wellbeing in urban communities

October 19, 2017

DALLAS, Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The American Heart Association, the world’s leading voluntary organization dedicated to building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke, hosted its inaugural EmPOWERED To Serve™ Summit in Washington, D.C. on October 17 and 18. As part of the Association’s EmPOWERED To Serve movement, which was developed to build a sustainable culture of health in diverse communities across America, leading experts and thought-leaders convened to discuss and address:

Community transformation and the root causes that impact social determinants of health.
Why and how your zip code may increase your risk of stroke, high blood pressure and other types of heart disease.
Engaging unconventional partners to drive creative solutions for collaborative health impact.

According to the Association, individual behaviors aren’t the only factors that affect health. Community environments play a determining role in health outcomes. People living just five miles apart can have a difference in life expectancy of more than 20 years. That’s why the Association will collaborate with a variety of organizations to create solutions to our communities’ most complex social issues through collective impact.

Additionally, as a part of the summit, 10 finalists in the American Heart Association’s EmPOWERED To Serve Urban Business Storytelling Competition, which sought innovative solutions to remove barriers to health and wellbeing, presented innovative, urban business solutions to a judging panel. Three winners were selected to receive financial awards ranging from $10,000 to $30,000:

When we focus and each bring our own talents and ideas to the table, we can truly make a difference. We assembled leaders this week to strengthen their alliance with the AHA, transferring what we discussed into meaningful action for the communities we are serving. Putting our thoughts and words into practice will ultimately deliver a sustainable culture of health and wellbeing.”
