About Curacao
Curacao is a large-format retail department store chain. Founded in 1976 by Jerry Azarkman, Curacao is headquartered in Los Angeles with retail locations in California and Arizona.  The company is said to be uniquely positioned to serve Hispanic and Latino Americans. The stores feature Spanish/English-language signs and bilingual salesclerks. Curacao sells most of its merchandise on credit to over two million private label cardholders. The company’s services include Curacao Travel, Internet service, and money transfer. Azarkman opened La Curacao, a consumer-product door-to-door sales company, in Burbank, California. It became popular among Hispanics without access to credit. Salesmen allowed their customers to buy goods by placing a down payment and then returning to the customer’s residence to collect payments on a regular basis. This service evolved into Curacao’s credit-card business. Azarkman’s brother, Ron Azarkman, joined the company in 1981. By 2007 Curacao had ten locations in the Southwestern United States, with nine stores in California and two in Arizona. With more than 2,000 employees Curacao plans more openings across the United Sates. Visit www.icuracao.com for more information.

Kmart Is March Of Dimes #1 Partner For Health Of Moms And Babies


Retail Giant’s Participation in March for Babies Raises a Record Amount


WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., July 22, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A few dollars given individually might not seem like much, but through many such small acts of generosity, Kmart’s Shop Your Way(℠) members, customers and associates have donated an unprecedented $11 million this year to the March of Dimes annual March for Babies® to give more babies a healthy start in life.

Kmart’s record-breaking achievement set a new standard for the successful relationship between the two organizations. Tim Austin, Kmart’s senior vice president of retail services and the 2014 March for Babies National Chairman, joined an enthusiastic crowd of 10,000 walkers at the Chicago Lakefront March of Babies in April where he shared how this year’s effort became more personal than ever.

“Kmart’s commitment to the March of Dimes is historic,” Austin said. “Helping babies clearly resonates with our customers and associates, and personally, it brings me immense joy. The mission of the March of Dimes has touched my own family this year as my grandson was born prematurely. Kmart’s ongoing efforts to support March of Dimes helps fund education programs and research initiatives that can help more babies receive the healthy start in life they deserve.”

Kmart has been a March of Dimes partner for more than three decades, and its annual fundraising campaigns have raised more than $125 million, more than any other corporation.

“Because of Kmart’s support, more women will get the prenatal care they need, and 92,000 families of babies in newborn intensive care all across the country will get comfort and guidance,” said Dr. Jennifer L. Howse, president of the March of Dimes.  “With Kmart as our partner, hundreds of scientists now are working together to discover the unknown causes of premature birth. Our work has helped reduce the US preterm birth by more than 10 percent since 2006, sparing thousands of babies from death and disability. We are truly grateful to everyone at Kmart for their remarkable contributions to this effort.”

The July 21 event featuring Demi Lovato’s World Tour Preview on the Honda Stage will begin at 6:00 p.m. Fans in attendance not only will have the opportunity to preview sounds from the highly anticipated World Tour, which begins on September 6 in Baltimore, but will have the opportunity to experience interactive activations from partners including Pandora, Spotify and Tumblr, take custom photo booth photos and check out the all-new 2015 Honda Fit in a variety of colors and models.

“We’re excited to bring custom Honda Stage events to fans in iconic locations across the U.S.,” said Russell Wallach, president, Live Nation Media & Sponsorship. “Honda has shown a deep commitment to music, and we are ecstatic to help them reach millennials through these marquee events, starting with Demi Lovato at the Queen Mary.”

Honda Stage is a unique 360-degree, multi-platform music program designed to meet music fans where they are already searching for and consuming music. This new music platform brings together an unprecedented group of entertainment and technology leaders, including Live Nation, to produce and distribute some of the best original, high-quality, music content available under the new Honda Stage name, through dozens of live events and exclusive online content.

Honda and Music
Honda has a deep history in music programming and music marketing through the development of engaging programs and sponsorships aimed at reaching music fans through their love of music. The Honda Civic Tour was created in 2001, and since its inception, 3.5 million fans have attended Civic Tour concert events and the program has become one of the nation’s most compelling, successful music concert tour franchises. Concert goers have had the chance to experience their favorite bands up-close-and personal, including live and interactive performances by Maroon 5, Linkin Park, blink-182, The Black Eyed Peas, Paramore, Incubus, Fall Out Boy and many more. Each year, the Honda Civic Tour’s headlining artist customizes a Civic vehicle for one lucky tour fan to win.

In 2009, Honda began partnering with the biggest and brightest music festivals across the U.S., including Sasquatch, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits Music Festival and The Governors Ball in New York. The automaker’s festival activations have included a Honda-sponsored stage with performances by some of the festivals’ best artists, opportunities to win VIP tickets and Honda vehicles, interactive onsite vehicle displays and more. This summer Honda’s music festival partnerships continue and will become part of the Honda Stage music program which began with The Governors Ball in New York June 6-8, and will debut at Music Midtown in Atlanta September 19-20 and return to Austin City Limits Music Festival the first two weekends in October.
