Alley Cat Allies Delivers Emergency Water and Cat Food to Support San Juan Cats and Caregivers During Puerto Rico Water Crisis

PR Newswire

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Aug. 12, 2026

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — To provide urgent aid to San Juan cats and their caregivers during the ongoing drought and water crisis, Alley Cat Allies, the leader of the global movement to protect cats and kittens, is on the ground delivering emergency cases of water and wet cat food.

The Alley Cat Allies San Juan Cat Protection Team funded the supplies and is working with San Juan organization Save A Gato to distribute them at no cost in the community. For cats who need them, Alley Cat Allies is also providing veterinary care and additional support. The relief effort comes as San Juan residents face rotating 48-hour water shutoffs that limit access to water for everyday needs, including caring for cats.

“Alley Cat Allies has been regularly on the ground protecting San Juan’s community cats for years, and we are also very in tune with the needs of the people who dedicate so much of their lives to them,” said Coryn Julien, program communications officer at Alley Cat Allies. “By delivering vital supplies at this critical time of drought and water crisis, we’re providing some much-needed relief for both cats and those who love them.”

“Continuous access to water is so important, especially during the record-breaking heat in Puerto Rico,” said Ana María Salicrup, secretary of the board of directors at Save A Gato. “We are working to help meet the community’s needs, including our cats whose wellbeing depends on us, in this emergency.”

The emergency response is part of the organizations’ wider commitment to establishing key resources for the people who care for San Juan’s cats, and to protecting and improving cats’ lives.

Since 2023, Alley Cat Allies has been working in Puerto Rico to save the community cats of the famous Paseo del Morro from a National Park Service (NPS) plan to remove and kill them. Alley Cat Allies has provided comprehensive care for the Paseo cats and recently negotiated an agreement with the NPS to ensure they are no longer at risk of being killed.

Now, the organization is collaborating with local officials and organizations, including Save A Gato, to create meaningful long-term change for cats throughout San Juan.

Mazda Becomes Official Automotive Partner of Trek’s North American Off-Road Teams and Events

WATERLOO, Wis., Aug. 11, 2026

Partnership brings together two brands united by performance, design, and helping people discover the outdoors.

WATERLOO, Wis., Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Trek Bicycle and Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today announced a multi-year partnership, naming Mazda the official exclusive automotive partner of Trek’s off-road race teams.

Mazda North American Operations is headquartered in Irvine, Calif., and oversees the sales, marketing, parts and customer service support of Mazda vehicles in the United States and Mexico through nearly 700 dealers. Operations in Mexico are managed by Mazda Motor de Mexico in Mexico City. For more information on Mazda vehicles, including photography and B-roll, please visit the online Mazda media center at www.mazdausamedia.com. (PRNewsFoto/Mazda North American Operations)

The partnership will support the Trek-Unbroken XC and DH mountain bike teams, the Trek Driftless gravel program, and Trek events as they strive for world-class results.

Mazda’s significant investment into Trek’s off-road racing programs will ensure that athletes have every resource to thrive at the highest levels of their disciplines. In addition, Mazda will supply outdoor-adventure-ready CX-50s for Trek athletes, staff, and operations at events throughout North America. That support is critical: When racing in remote locales where conditions are unpredictable, capable, and reliable transportation is a must.

“Partnering with Mazda just makes sense,” Tim Vanderjeugd, Trek’s Global Director of Sports Marketing said. “Having the support of a dependable brand that’s as passionate about the outdoors as Trek will be a huge boost to our race day operations. We can’t wait to get started.”

In addition to supporting Trek’s race teams in North America — including at WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series stops in Soldier Hollow, Utah, and Lake Placid, New York — Mazda will have a presence at several of the continent’s premier cycling events, such as Trek’s Supper Club Gravel Series and the Wisconsin Off Road Series (WORS).

Both Trek and MNAO make products that help people explore new places, spend more time outside, and create memorable experiences along the way. Whether it’s taking on a favorite back road or driving to the next trail ride, both brands are united by a love of adventure.

“Movement has always been at the heart of the Mazda brand, not simply to get from one place to another, but as a way to enrich our lives. Trek shares that belief, making this partnership a natural fit,” said Brad Audet, chief marketing officer, Mazda North American Operations. “Together, we’ll support the incredible athletes and communities that make off-road cycling such an inspiring expression of adventure and human potential.”

Fans can expect to see Mazda vehicles at events throughout the year, connecting with riders, racers, and cycling communities across North America.

Medicare Card Fraud: “The Medicare Fraud of the Month for August”

PR Newswire

ALBANY, N.Y., Aug. 12, 2026

ALBANY, N.Y., Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The New York StateWide Senior Action Council (StateWide), a 54-year-old non-profit organization dedicated to serving the needs and well-being of our State’s more than 3.6 million senior citizens, today announced its Medicare Fraud of the Month for August: Medicare Card Fraud.

The StateWide Fraud of the Month is a component of the Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP), the definitive resource for New York State’s older adults and caregivers to detect, prevent, and report healthcare fraud, errors, and abuse. StateWide is New York’s grantee/administrator for this Federal Program.

Maria Alvarez, Executive Director of StateWide, explains, “Scammers are using multiple tricks to gain your trust and steal your Medicare number.”

Medicare Card Scams include:

  • SENIORS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A PLASTIC MEDICARE CARD!
    • FACT: Medicare is not calling beneficiaries offering new plastic Medicare cards.
  • MEDICARE CARDS ARE EXPIRING!
    • FACT: Medicare Cards NEVER expire.
  • MEDICARE RECIPIENTS QUALIFY FOR FREE GROCERIES!
    • FACT: Be cautious of “free” benefit offers in exchange for Medicare numbers, it’s most likely a Scam.
  • ACT NOW TO GET A NEW MEDICARE CARD!
    • FACT: Medicare does not use pressure or create deadlines to motivate recipients.

Scammers are using multiple tricks to obtain Seniors’ Medicare information. Scammers may offer free medical equipment, extra Medicare benefits, or a new Medicare card to gain trust and steal Medicare numbers.

“If an offer related to Medicare sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t. It’s important to verify all information before responding to these offers,” Alvarez concluded.

Seniors suspecting fraud should contact the New York State Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) at 800-333-4374 or visit www.nysenior.org. StateWide has trained counselors to help Medicare beneficiaries in the fight against Medicare fraud.

StateWide also provides information and educational presentations, assistance regarding any Medicare questions, plan comparisons, appeals, billing issues and patients’ rights to all seniors throughout New York State.

It is estimated that Medicare fraud costs taxpayers over $60 billion dollars nationally per year. To help combat this illicit industry StateWide announced its Fraud of the Month program in 2022 to highlight these scams being perpetrated on the State’s seniors.

MONTEREY, Calif., Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — New icons meet old at the 2026 Monterey Car Week, where GAZOO Racing will showcase the GR GT sports car and its racing sibling, the GR GT3 racecar.

GR GT, GR GT3 Make North American Dynamic Debut During 2026 Monterey Car Week

During the car-packed car week, GR GT and GR GT3 prototypes will run their first public, un-camouflaged hot laps on track in North America at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. Iconic Japanese motorsports vehicles from throughout history are being represented as the featured marque at this year’s Reunion event, making it an ideal venue for the GR GT and GR GT3 to make their runs.

The GR GT launches around 2027 powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine supported by single-motor hybrid system. Total output is expected to be 641 hp or greater, and 627 lb-ft of torque or greater, sent to the rear wheels via a carbon-fiber torque tube and a rear-mounted eight-speed automatic transaxle.

GR’s new GT forms the basis for the GR GT3 racecar, created in accordance with FIA GT3 regulations—the top category for production vehicle-based customer motorsports. Like the GR GT, the GR GT3 employs a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, but trades the GR GT’s eight-speed automatic transmission for a purpose-built racing transmission.

The two cars are closely linked, however, with the GR GT3 developed in tandem with the GR GT—benefitting both, with the GR GT in particular bringing true links to motorsports to the road.

Citadel Credit Union Announces Third Philadelphia Branch Coming to Hunting Park in 2027

PR Newswire

EXTON, Pa., Aug. 11, 2026

Developed in partnership with Esperanza, the new location will bring financial education, community programming and full-service banking to this North Philadelphia neighborhood.

EXTON, Pa., Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Citadel Credit Union, a not-for-profit, member-owned financial institution, today announced it has signed a lease for its third Philadelphia branch, located in the Hunting Park section of North Philadelphia. Slated to open in 2027 at 133 W. Hunting Park Ave., the branch will be developed in partnership with Esperanza, one of the nation’s largest Hispanic, faith-based nonprofit organizations and the building’s landlord. The location continues a Philadelphia expansion strategy built around neighborhoods, relationships and long-term community investment.

Citadel Credit Union, Building Strength Together

Like its two Philadelphia predecessors, the Hunting Park branch is designed to be more than a place to bank. It will serve as a space where residents, families and small businesses can access financial services, financial education and meaningful community programming rooted in the neighborhood it serves.

“We’ve always believed the most important thing we can do is show up,” said Bill Brown, president and CEO of Citadel Credit Union. “Not just to open a branch but to genuinely earn a place in a community. Hunting Park has deep roots, proud people and real opportunity. Partnering with Esperanza means we’re not arriving as an outside institution. We’re coming in as neighbors, ready to listen and grow alongside the people we’re here to serve.”

Building on a Philadelphia Commitment
The Hunting Park announcement is the next chapter in Citadel’s expanding Philadelphia presence. After opening its first Philadelphia branch in Overbrook Park in January 2026, the credit union welcomed the community to a grand opening celebration in May, marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony and block party, attended by elected officials, neighborhood leaders, and residents. A second location, set to open later this year in Cedar Park, at 4900 Baltimore Ave., will bring Citadel’s community-centered model to a well-established West Philadelphia corridor.

Hunting Park extends that footprint into North Philadelphia, where more than 17,000 Citadel members already live, work, and study. Each Philadelphia branch is designed to function as a community hub offering financial resources, space for local partnerships, and programming that strengthens the neighborhoods Citadel calls home.

A Partnership Grounded in 40 Years of Community Work
Esperanza has been transforming Hunting Park for four decades. The organization has invested more than $300 million in community resources, serving approximately 35,000 low-income Philadelphians annually through programs that span housing counseling, workforce development, education, economic development, and the arts. Esperanza treats Hunting Park as an “opportunity community,” a neighborhood of strength and potential at every income level, and has built its work around a bilingual, culturally reflective approach that centers the Latino community and supports families across the district. That shared belief in place-based investment is what drew Citadel to the partnership.

“Trust in Hunting Park is built block by block. That’s what forty years here has taught us,” said Rev. Luis Cortés Jr., founder and CEO of Esperanza. “Citadel showed up ready to invest the same way. This branch gives our neighbors a place to build wealth in their own neighborhood. That’s what real investment looks like.”

More Than a Place to Bank
The branch will offer Citadel’s full range of personal and business banking, mortgage-lending services, and financial counseling. Beyond traditional banking, it will serve as a gathering place for financial education workshops, community events and neighborhood programming.

Philadelphia City Councilmember Quetcy Lozada, who represents the 7th District and is a lifelong resident of the neighborhoods she serves, welcomed the announcement.

“I’ve spent my whole life in this district, and before I was a council member, I spent years working with Esperanza to strengthen it,” said Councilmember Lozada. “I know the difference between a financial institution that shows up and one that’s truly invested. Citadel is coming in alongside Esperanza, with the right intentions and the right partner. Hunting Park deserves that kind of commitment, and I’m proud to welcome them to the 7th District.”

Growing Alongside Philadelphia
The Hunting Park branch is Citadel’s third Philadelphia location, reflecting a deliberate, long-term approach to expanding financial access across the city. The goal isn’t just to open branch doors. It’s to build real relationships in the neighborhoods where those resources are needed most. That’s what it means to grow with the community, not just alongside it.

About Citadel Credit Union
Citadel Credit Union is a not-for-profit, member-owned financial institution providing banking, investment, and insurance services to more than 290,000 members. With approximately $6.9 billion in assets and 25 branches, Citadel is one of the Greater Philadelphia region’s largest credit unions, serving individuals, families, and businesses in southeastern Pennsylvania, with membership eligibility throughout Pennsylvania and neighboring states, including Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Ohio, and West Virginia.

Esperanza carries out this mission through programs in education, housing and economic development, arts and culture, and social change.
