Mary Kay Dedicates 20th Nature Explore Classroom Designed to Help Children Heal After Witnessing Domestic Violence

October 12, 2015

0

Since 2009, Mary Kay has built and dedicated 20 unique outdoor learning environments, or Nature Explore Classrooms, in 13 states. Nature Explore Classrooms serve as an alternative to schools, parks or child care centers for children who are living in domestic violence shelters and whose safety could be jeopardized in public spaces.

DALLAS, Oct. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — They are the smallest and youngest victims of the domestic violence epidemic – an estimated 3-4 million children in the United States who witness abuse in their homes each year. To help them learn, play and heal, Mary Kay Inc. and The Mary Kay Foundation(SM) partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation to build 20 Nature Explore Classrooms at domestic violence shelters across the country as part of a first-of-its-kind program. The outdoor learning spaces provide a safe environment in an effort to bring nature into the daily lives of thousands of children.

The Spring, a domestic violence shelter providing aid to women and children in Tampa Bay, Fla., became the 20^th shelter selected to receive the unique learning environment. Research shows that nature helps reduce stress and lessen or eliminate anti-social behavior common in children who have witnessed abuse. Nature Explore Classrooms serve as an alternative to schools, parks or child care centers for children who are living in domestic violence shelters and whose safety could be jeopardized in public spaces.

“One in four women in the United States experiences domestic violence in their lifetime and far too often, children are exposed to the abuse,” said Crayton Webb, Vice President of Corporate Communications and Corporate Social Responsibility for Mary Kay Inc. “Through the culmination of the Nature Explore Classroom program, we have been able to provide safe places for children across the country to play and learn while also helping them to heal and overcome a painful experience.”

Since 2009, Mary Kay has built and dedicated 20 Nature Explore Classrooms in 13 states. In addition to the outdoor space, each Nature Explore Classroom includes a multi-faceted curriculum with details on how to fully maximize the educational opportunities and healing effects of the outdoor environment.

“Working with advocates like Mary Kay allows the Arbor Day Foundation and Dimensions Educational Research Foundation to collaborate on programs such as Nature Explore, which transforms children’s lives through research-based outdoor classroom design services, educator workshops and natural products,” said Dan Lambe, President of the Arbor Day Foundation. “The building and dedication of 20 Nature Explore Classrooms will provide a calm refuge for mothers and their children for years to come.”

Mary Kay has a long-standing commitment to prevent and end domestic violence. Over the past 15 years, Mary Kay Inc. and The Mary Kay Foundation(SM) have given more than $50 million to domestic violence prevention and awareness programs to women’s shelters across the country in an effort to end the cycle of abuse.

NBC UNIVERSO Will Air The Mexico vs Honduras Championship Match Of The CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament

October 12, 2015

0

MIAMI, Oct. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ —

WHO:
Third Place Match – THE UNITED STATES vs. CANADA

WHEN:
On Tue., Oct. 13 at 7:00p ET / 4:00p PT

WHAT:
This game is a rematch of the U.S. and Canada’s initial group stage contest that took place just a little more than one-and-a-half weeks ago. The Stars and Stripes defeated the Canucks 3-1 while on their way to racking up two more decisive victories during group play. However, the U.S fell prey to a feisty Honduras team in this past weekend’s semifinal game – losing 0-2. While Canada’s performance was not as authoritative as the U.S. throughout the tournament (1-1-1- in group play), it was good enough for the team to earn a trip to the semifinals. With an Olympic berth on the line, the Canadians hopes were dashed after they ran into a determined Mexico squad that ended up defeating the team from north of the boarder 2-0.

For both the U.S. and Canada, this game is a must win. Simply stated, the loser will not go the Rio 2016 Olympics. The winner will travel to Brazil next March for a one-game playoff against Colombia to decide the final berth in next summer’s tournament.

Fans can check their local TV listings, or visit www.nbcuniverso.com/encuentra, to find channel information for NBC UNIVERSO on their cable, satellite and telco systems.

WHO:
Championship Final – HONDURAS vs. MEXICO

WHEN:
On Tue., Oct. 13 at 10:00p ET / 7:00p PT

WHAT:
El Tri will defend its Olympic Gold Medal. Mexico defeated Canada during the semifinals of this tournament this past weekend and earned a berth in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. But, before Mexico makes the trip to Brazil next summer to begin its bid as back-to-back Olympic Champion, the squad is first looking to repeat as CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying Champion. Mexico will face Honduras and a victory would add a seventh Pre-Olympic Qualifying Tournament title to the young Mexicans’ resume. Honduras can claim its third overall qualifying tournament title with a win over Mexico. Los Catrachos defeated the U.S. during their semifinal match to earn its trip to Rio. The 2016 Games will be the Hondurans third consecutive Olympic tournament and fourth overall.

MAKING THE CALL:
Award-winner and internationally acclaimed sportscaster Andres Cantor will bring his unique style and soccer expertise to the broadcast booth for NBC UNIVERSO. Cantor will headline a talented roster of sports broadcasters, including Emmy-award winner Sammy Sadovnik; and former Mexican soccer players Carlos Hermosillo.

About NBC UNIVERSO:
