NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Join Lancome for the fifth annual Genifique Day to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Today and tomorrow, Lancome will donate $7 directly to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for every bottle of Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate, Genifique Eye Light-Pearl and Genifique Yeux sold, to underscore Genifique’s 7-day radiance results. The brand has tapped Celebrity Makeup Artist Mickey Williams to host events at select Lancome counters around the country to support Genifique Day.

Each year, in honor of national Genifique Day, hundreds of thousands of dollars in vital donations are raised for St. Jude. Each Genifique bottle sold helps the hospital fulfill its mission to find cures and save children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases. It costs $2 million a day to operate the hospital, and your individual contribution can help in so many ways:

21 bottles could pay for one night of family housing
9 bottles could cover one blood count test
5 bottles could buy a day of meals
3 bottles could pay for one bone marrow needle

Additionally, the brand will continue its social media campaign through this final weekend—Instagram or Tweet your hands in the shape of a heart and post to social media with the #LancomeGivesBack hashtag, and the brand will make a $1 donation to St. Jude (up to the $20,000 goal).

“I’m honored to be affiliated with a brand such as Lancome that supports such a worthy and meaningful cause,” Lancome ambassadress Lupita Nyong’o states. “Growing up, I witnessed doctors in my own family work tirelessly to restore the health of people around them. I understand how important it is to support efforts to find cures for critical diseases, and I therefore proudly support the work that St. Jude is doing, especially in pediatric cancer, to help the children there lead better, healthier lives.”

The Genifique collection serves as the epitome of Lancome’s commitment to helping women look and feel their overall best. Inspired by cutting edge science, Genifique’s award-winning formula infuses skin with radiance while visibly reactivating the 10 key signs of youth.

“Thanks to Lancome and other supporters, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases,” says Richard Shadyac Jr., President and CEO of ALSAC/St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “Our founder Danny Thomas believed that no child should die in the dawn of life. To fulfill this promise, St. Jude depends on initiatives like national Genifique Day to support the life-saving reseach and treatment conducted at the hospital, and ensure that no family ever receives a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.”

About St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other deadly diseases. St. Jude has the world’s best survival rates for the most aggressive childhood cancers, and treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to 80 percent since we opened more than 50 years ago.

St. Jude freely shares the breakthroughs we make, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.

As the only Hispanic food company to offer consumers an entire line of low sodium, organic, diet and sugar free products, the 250,000 square foot facility will boost Goya’s distribution capabilities of healthy and authentic Latin food and strengthen the company’s position and growth in the West. “Based on our current sales and the influence of Latin culture on the food industry, it’s an opportune time to expand in California, a marketable region that represents high-growth for Goya,” says Robert A. Unanue, who spearheaded the expansion of Goya California and whose great grandfather Don Prudencio founded Goya Foods in 1936. “The new California facility will allow us to accelerate our reach and secure our position in one of the top regions of the United States while simultaneously allowing us to focus on the expansion of our healthy product lines.”

The new center features a new warehouse management system, increased capacity for packing, freezing, and railroad transportation that strategically runs through the West Coast and links to Goya’s new facility in Houston, Texas.

As part of Goya’s 2011 collaboration with First Lady Michelle Obama’s MyPlate / MiPlato campaign, Goya has focused on expanding its healthy product lines that feature a variety of over 40 low sodium and organic beans, organic rice, brown rice, quinoa, beans, vegetables, frozen vegetables and fruits, coconut water, diet beverages, as well as household staples like olive oil and low sodium condiments. “Goya’s new California facility is part of the company’s $300 million global expansion of four new state of the art manufacturing, production and distribution facilities in Texas, Georgia, and New Jersey, and will play a significant role in supporting our efforts to provide healthy products,” says Bob Unanue, President of Goya Foods. “Since our collaboration with First Lady Michelle Obama, we’ve printed over 336 million cans marked with the MyPlate logo. We’ve not only provided consumers with healthy options that have ‘good taste, are good for you and of good value,’ key elements that resonate with our popular tagline ‘If It’s Goya, It Has To Be Good,’ but we’ve provided the educational materials and aligned our overall communications in order to really make a difference in the well-being of our consumers.” Each of Goya’s new facilities will help reach new consumers and strengthen the Goya brand throughout the United States and internationally.

Announcing the launch of Understood: A comprehensive resource to help parents of the 1 in 5 children with learning and attention issues


Three-year national ad campaign kicks off for new, free resource that empowers parents through personalized support, daily access to experts, specially designed tools and an online community to help millions of children go from simply coping to truly thriving


NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Understood.org, a comprehensive, free nonprofit resource, is launching today to help parents of children with learning and attention issues. One in five children struggles with issues related to reading, math, writing, focus and organization. Understood’s mission is to help parents understand these issues and support them with strategies that can enable their children to go from simply coping to truly thriving in school and in life.

Starting today, a three-year public-service advertising (PSA) campaign developed in partnership with the Ad Council will begin to raise awareness nationwide about learning and attention issues and connect parents to Understood’s one-stop, easy-to-use online resource and community. In addition to the PSA campaign, Understood is working with leaders in a variety of fields including entertainment, sports, media and politics to help inspire parents on their journey and remind them that they’re not alone. Understood’s Board of Advocates includes Robert De Niro, Grace Hightower De Niro, Harry Belafonte, Ari Emanuel, Brad Falchuk, Whoopi Goldberg, Daymond John, Kenny Johnson, Lisa Ling, Greg Louganis, Howie Mandel, Steve McQueen, Alyssa Milano, Holly Robinson Peete and California Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom.

Available in English, Spanish and read-aloud mode, Understood provides parents with clear explanations about learning and attention issues. It also offers practical advice for parents on everything from how to partner with their child’s teachers and help with homework to how to explain their child’s issues to friends and relatives and plan family gatherings that are less stressful and more fun for everyone.

Through personalized content that is tailored according to a child’s grade and issues, Understood is designed to cut through the confusion and give parents a clear path to confidence. Because many children with learning and attention issues do not have—and may never get—a diagnosis, information is presented in plain language as often as possible. Using design that works equally well on a smartphone, tablet or computer, Understood offers customized support to parents who don’t know yet why their child is struggling as well as to parents who have been on this journey for years.

Created by 15 nonprofits, Understood developed many of its key features based on its survey of more than 2,000 parents of children with learning and attention issues. These parents provided important insights about the best ways to meet their needs. Understood offers free daily access to experts through chats and webinars, a safe online community that encourages parents to reach out to and learn from each other, and a suite of specially designed, first-of-their-kind tools including:

  • Through Your Child’s Eyes: A series of interactive simulations and videos that enable parents to experience firsthand how smart people can struggle with a seemingly simple task when they have reading, writing, math, organization or attention issues.
  • Tech Finder: Expert-approved apps and games searchable by a child’s grade and issues.
  • Just For You: An opt-in system that provides additional levels of personalized content recommendations. (Parents don’t need to sign in to start getting customized recommendations on Understood; all they need to do to hit the ground running is check the boxes about their child’s grade and issues.) Parents who choose to complete a secure, confidential profile will receive recommendations for each child in their profile as well as for topics they’ve expressed interest in, such as siblings, travel and communicating with family and friends. 
  • Parenting Coach: Practical, age-specific strategies to help with everyday challenges, such as getting ready on time in the mornings and setting the stage for homework success.
  • Decision Guide: Key questions to help parents think through big topics, such as whether it’s time to request a formal evaluation, let a child start dating or decide which path to pursue after high school.

For parents whose children have a diagnosis or want to learn more about specific conditions or special services available in schools, Understood offers in-depth information about Individualized Education Programs, 504 Plans, ADHD, auditory processing disorder, communication disorders, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, dyslexia, dyspraxia, executive functioning issues, nonverbal learning disabilities, sensory processing issues and visual processing issues.

The three-year PSA campaign will include television, radio, print, outdoor and digital PSAs in English and Spanish. The PSAs will be distributed to more than 33,000 media outlets nationwide and will run in time and space donated by the media. The campaign was developed in partnership with the Ad Council and created pro bono by Publicis Kaplan Thaler.

“In our work, we always try to show empathy and understanding,” said Rob Feakins, President and Chief Creative Officer of Publicis Kaplan Thaler. “This campaign shines a light on the significant learning and attention issues that affect one of every five children by making them completely relatable and instantly understood. We are delighted to partner with the Ad Council and Understood.org to help make a difference in the lives of so many families.” 

“Understood.org and this campaign provide crucial information and resources for parents throughout the country who may not know where to turn to get support,” said Peggy Conlon, President and CEO of the Ad Council. “We are proud of the breadth of this partnership and the extraordinary resource—Understood.org—and believe that together we will create a national conversation about the importance of addressing learning and attention issues.”

“Understood’s founding partners are united by a common belief that the most effective way to help children with learning and attention issues is by informing and empowering their parents,” said Ned Hallowell, a world-renowned psychiatrist and bestselling author who is also a member of Understood’s team of experts. “I have been waiting 30 years for a resource as simple and life-changing as Understood. This really is the dawn of a new era.”

Alcopops Day of the Dead

Youth Protest Deadly Alcohol Products


SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Oct. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire- HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — According to Alcohol Justice, in remembrance of youth who have fallen victim to alcohol-related harm, Youth for Justice are leading a Day of the Dead procession to Mi Pueblo Food Center and Circle K in San Rafael. They will be asking these local Canal-neighborhood retailers to voluntarily stop selling dangerous youth-attractive flavored malt beverages (FMBs) known as alcopops. Each year 4,300 people under age 21 die from alcohol-related injuries while costs of underage drinking (including medical, loss of work, and quality of life costs) run as much as $60 billion annually. This is the 5th time that Circle K has been targeted and the 4th time for Mi Pueblo. Previous attempts to meet with corporate leaders of both businesses have been met with indifference.
