WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease

WASHINGTON, May 24, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease announced today the donation of $1.8 million from the national off-price retailer Burlington Stores. This is the most significant donation since the partnership commenced in 2012. Funds raised will advance the organization’s mission of providing education and support services to women living with or at risk for heart disease – the nation’s leading cause of death in women

Since 2012, Burlington Stores and its customers have donated more than $6 million to WomenHeart, the nation’s first and still only patient centered organization solely devoted to advancing women’s heart health. The five year partnership has resulted in the expansion of education, awareness and free patient support services nationwide for women to empower them to take charge of their heart health.

Thanks to funds raised by Burlington Stores, WomenHeart has been able to enhance its National Hospital Alliance capacity-building program to reach women heart patients in underserved communities across the country, and establish and develop its Hispanic outreach and education initiative, Para la Mujer Hispana.  

To kick off this year’s campaign, Burlington Stores & WomenHeart were joined by Wendy Williams, Talk Show Host and heart health advocate, to serve as the voice and supporter of a #HealthyHeartSelfie Challenge. Each day throughout February, people were encouraged to check the hashtag for fun and easy heart health tips from Wendy Williams, Burlington Stores and WomenHeart. They were then encouraged to snap a photo of how they are using that tip or simply show what heart health means to them using the hashtag. For every photo posted with #HealthyHeartSelfie, Burlington donated $1, up to $25,000, to benefit WomenHeart.

The campaign also included a heart health panel discussion in New York City, featuring Wendy Williams, along with Mayo Clinic’s Sharonne N. Hayes, MD, Professor of Cardiovascular Diseases and Founder of the Women’s Heart Clinic at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, and four WomenHeart Champions — women heart disease survivors trained by WomenHeart as community educators, spokespersons and advocates — as well as an in-store campaign that launched in all 526 Burlington stores across the country. Customers had the opportunity to donate $1 or more at check out at any Burlington store location through March 31, 2016 to further the organization’s mission.

Additionally, on February 5th, National Wear Red Day, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., 46 Burlington stores across the country (a store in each state/US Territory/District where Burlington has locations) hosted free women’s heart health screenings in partnership with WomenHeart. Customers had the opportunity to get their blood pressure, pulse, cholesterol and BMI checked by a certified health professional, talk with WomenHeart Champions, and receive bi-lingual (English/Spanish) women’s heart health information and tips for living heart healthy.

“We are truly grateful for the commitment of Burlington and their customers to women’s heart health, and for continuing to make this important partnership a growing success year after year,” said Mary McGowan, Chief Executive Officer of WomenHeart. “Through education and support, we can empower women to take charge of their heart health and prevent heart disease — the leading cause of death in women. The Burlington Stores collaboration with WomenHeart helps us extend our reach to more women, especially African American and Hispanic women, who are at greater risk of heart disease.”

“I am proud of the commitment and generosity demonstrated by our associates and customers nationwide. This year’s women’s heart health initiative was highly successful, raising the most funds ever in one year. The donation will help to save lives and further education women about the importance of their heart health,” said Tom Kingsbury, chairman and CEO of Burlington Stores.

Hispanic Evangelicals Point Presidential Candidates To Issues That Matter Most: Education, Life, Religious Liberty, Immigration

National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference logo.

SACRAMENTO, California, May 23, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC/CONEL), the nation’s leading organization for 16 million Hispanic American Evangelicals, drew the attention of presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton over the weekend. More than 1,000 pastors and church leaders, representing 40,000 U.S. churches, watched the candidates’ video greetings during a main session Friday night. Both Trump and Clinton touched on the top priorities of Latino voters: the economy, education and immigration. During the NHCLC convention, Hispanic Evangelicals focused attention on similar topics: education, life, religious liberty and immigration.

Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120912/CL72800LOGO

“As politicians court the vote of Hispanics in our nation, they should pay close attention to the heart of Hispanic voters: their children. No other issue matters matter more than this one,” explains Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, President of the NHCLC, as he highlights the warm heart of Latino voters. “Hispanic parents rank education as a top priority, ahead of immigration and second only to the economy, because they still believe in the American dream. Hispanic families value hard work, education and faith – a powerful trifecta that is sure to yield a stronger America. So candidates who say they love Hispanics should reflect that conviction in their words and in their actions.”

A recent internal survey of NHCLC members revealed that Hispanic evangelicals remain undecided. No candidate from either party has a lock on their support, and more than one-third of those polled say there is no one who clearly represents them at this point in the race. They also noted that the candidate’s policies mattered more than rhetoric.

In his video greeting to NHCLC members, Trump promised, “we’re going to create good schools, and I mean, in some cases, hopefully, great schools.” Hillary Clinton invited, “let’s work together to . . . give everyone a quality education regardless of their zip code. Let’s . . . make sure every young person in America has the chance to live up to his or her God-given potential.”

Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, founder and president of NHCLC/CONEL and a former public school educator, views education equity as a matter of biblical justice. “It’s time to remind Americans that we are not only one nation under God, but we are also a nation of liberty and justice for all. We will bring biblical justice to our nation’s public classrooms when academic achievement is no longer dependent upon a student’s zip code, ethnicity or income. And we will truly love our neighbors as ourselves when we love their students as our own.”

The NHCLC, which values Education as one of its core directives, advocates for Hispanic student success including education equity and high academic standards for all students as a part of its mission as a Christian organization. Education resources for parents and churches, including information on Education Sunday, are available at www.FaithandEducation.com.

NHCLC is the world’s largest Hispanic Christian organization, serving as a representative voice for the more than 100 million Hispanic Evangelicals assembled in over 40,000 U.S. churches and another hundreds of thousands of congregations spread throughout the Spanish-speaking diaspora.

Hinchcliffe, Honda Claim Indy 500 Pole

370635

INDIANAPOLIS, May 22, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — After a thrilling final-hour performance on Saturday, James Hinchcliffe again delivered when it mattered the most, claiming the pole Sunday for next weekend’s Indianapolis 500, edging Josef Newgarden and fellow Honda driver Ryan Hunter-Reay by the narrowest of margins in the final qualifying run of the day.  It is Hinchcliffe’s first “500” pole, and the ninth for Honda at the historic Brickyard.

370635

Hinchcliffe’s run of nearly 231 mph on Saturday secured first-round qualifying honors, and meant he would be the last of five Honda drivers vying or the pole during today’s “Fast Nine” shootout.  The fourth driver to make a run, Newgarden posted a four-lap average of 230.700 mph that moved him to the top of the speed chart.  After both Helio Castroneves and Will Power came up sort, the next-to-last qualifier, Hunter-Reay came close to toppling him, but ended his four-lap run fractionally slower, at 230.648 mph.

That left Hinchcliffe as the final driver to qualify, and just over a year after a practice-session crash resulted in life-threatening injuries, “Hinch” produced a four-lap average speed of 230.760 mph around the 2.5-mile Indianapolis oval to claim the pole for himself, his Schmidt Peterson Motorsports team, and Honda.  It was Hinchcliffe’s first Indianapolis 500 pole, after qualifying second in 2014.

Behind Hinchcliffe and Hunter-Reay, Andretti Autosport drivers Townsend Bell and Carlos Munoz claimed the fourth and fifth positions, respectively, and Hinchcliffe’s teammate, Mikhail Aleshin, will start seventh.  Honda drivers also dominated today’s second-round qualifying – for starting positions 10-33 – with Oriol Servia, Alexander Rossi, and Takuma Sato qualifying 10th through 12th; and Marco Andretti, 14th.  The Indianapolis 500 will take place on Sunday, May 29, with live coverage on ABC starting at 11 a.m. EDT.

James Hinchcliffe (#5 Schmidt Peterson Motorsports Honda) pole qualifier for the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500, his first “500” pole:  “I mean, I try not to think about [what it means to qualify on the pole] too much. We still have a long race to get through one week from today.  One day, I’ll appreciate it a lot more.  It all starts right here, with Sam [Schmidt] and Ric [Peterson].  They built this incredible team. It starts from the top, but goes to all the crew guys who build and run these cars.  This is a point of pride today for the team, for Honda and all the incredible work they’ve done. It [qualifying] was a great run, the car was stellar.  I have to thank my teammates a huge amount, we communicated well all week long. The car definitely was on the ragged edge, it was getting free-er and free-er every lap and I was moving the weight jacker all the time.  But that’s what it takes to win the pole here.  I kinda feel bad for Josef, but not THAT bad. I’ve been there before (narrowly missing the pole in 2014).  There’s still one big thing to check off the box before we start talking “movie rights”, and that’s next Sunday.  I hope a week from now we have an even better story to tell.”

Art St. Cyr (president, Honda Performance Development) on today’s ninth Indianapolis 500 pole or Honda: “It’s a great day for Honda. This is culmination of 12 months of incredibly hard work and focus on the Indy 500.  Congratulations to everyone at HPD, who has worked so tirelessly to not just close the gap we experienced last year, but to back put us on top.  Our partners at Schmidt-Peterson, Andretti Autosport, Rahal Letterman Lanigan, and all of our teams have worked equally hard to achieve this common goal.  A special congratulations to ‘Hinch’ and Ryan for putting it all on the line for the pole and front-row starting positions.  But we all know, the true goal arrives next Sunday:  to win the 100thIndianapolis 500.”

Located in Costa del Este, Avenida Centenario, Rada Plaza, Ciudad de Panamá, the restaurant is expected to bring 150 new jobs to the economy as well as additional tax revenue and ongoing local spending on supplies, ingredients and marketing and other services.

“We are delighted to bring the world famous IHOP menu and hospitality to our guests in Panama,” said del Olmo.  “We’ve been interested in being part of this vibrant and growing market for some time, but wanted to ensure that we found a franchise partner that shared our commitment to bringing the very best of the brand to the country.  We’re confident that with the Collins Rada Group, IHOP will bring its heritage of ‘Spreading Happiness Since 1958’ to this location and others to come.”

“We have been fans of IHOP’s unparalleled breakfast offerings and lunch and dinner entrees for years,” said Wendy Collins, Collins Rada Group Inc. “We’ve always felt that the unique IHOP experience and food would be a great match for Panama and we are delighted and excited to bring it here.  We look forward to many years of ‘spreading happiness’ in Panama City and around the country and we are already actively looking for our next location.”

The IHOP restaurant will be the latest “California Heritage” model which pays tribute to the brand’s heritage given that the first IHOP restaurant opened in Southern California in 1958.  The new design is part of an innovative 360 degree brand evolution that also includes new brand positioning and marketing, menu items and presentation and a service culture that has been created as a result of the largest international research study in the company’s history, and is now being implemented internationally.  DineEquity franchises two top brands that are leaders in their categories—Applebee’s Grill and Bar is a leader in the casual dining category and IHOP restaurants is a leader in the family dining category. The last two years have seen record growth internationally for both DineEquity’s brands both in terms of new restaurants in existing markets as well as the addition of new countries and territories including Indonesia, Guam, the Philippines and now Panama.

The restaurant will seat approximately 205 guests and will be open daily from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm
