Tanger Outlets Joins the Civic Alliance to Encourage Participation in November Election, Offers Paid Time Off to Employees Who Work the Polls

GREENSBORO, N.C., Oct. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. (NYSE: SKT), a leader in the outlet industry, announced it has joined the Civic Alliance, a non-partisan coalition of businesses whose aim is to support safe, healthy and trusted elections and inspire civic engagement amongst its employees and customers.

Through its work with the Civic Alliance, Tanger will participate in Power the Polls, an initiative to address the nationwide poll worker shortage by recruiting and training the next generation, with the goal of securing at least one million volunteers by November. As part of the effort, Tanger is encouraging its regular full-time employees to utilize available paid time off through the volunteerism program to serve as poll workers in their communities.

Tanger’s participation in the Civic Alliance is part of the company’s recent efforts to support civic engagement and its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council’s leadership and action goals ahead of the 2020 election. Last month, Tanger began a partnership with HeadCount, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting voter registration amongst young people, installing voter registration stations at 24 of its open-air locations nationwide. This partnership encourages employees and shoppers to check their registration status, register to vote, find a local polling place, access information about how to vote early and review registration deadlines state by state.

«At Tanger, we believe our democracy works best when we all participate. We value civic engagement, especially exercising the right to vote, which is why we have taken a number of steps to help our employees and customers navigate this election season,» said Stephen Yalof, Chief Operating Officer and President of Tanger Outlets. «We are excited to join the Civic Alliance and continue our partnership with HeadCount ahead of the upcoming election. I’m proud of Tanger’s continued commitment to supporting civic engagement among our employees and shoppers. By working together, we can ensure everyone’s voices are heard this November.»

PointsBet and Genius Sports Group expand partnership with Streaming deal

NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — PointsBet and Genius Sports Group, via its Betgenius business, have expanded their wide-ranging sportsbook content partnership to include the supplier’s Streaming service.

<img…

The new agreement makes PointsBet the first U.S. operator to sign-up to Streaming, adding thousands of live streams across a broad range of sports and geographies, complete with official data-powered in-game pricing for every fixture.

Local players in New Jersey, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Colorado can watch the live streams via the PointsBet app and website, exclusively, as they wager.

Streaming primarily offers content played at off-peak times and will allow PointsBet to drive handle and retention around-the-clock, including while the major leagues are out of action.

As a long term partner to PointsBet, Betgenius will continue to provide fully customizable in-game pricing for an array of sports and competitions.

Together, the data and streaming services offered by Genius Sports Group will enable PointsBet to provide its customers with access to the highest-quality official data and streaming services.

Ron Shell, VP Customer & Insights at PointsBet USA, said: «The average U.S. sports bettor currently shows almost a perfect 50/50 split of placing bets prior to the start of competition versus placing bets in-play. Industry experts and the PointsBet team agree that wagering will trend more and more toward in-play as the U.S. market matures – a natural shift given the consistent overlap of U.S. sporting events, as well as the structure of U.S. sports allowing for micro markets like the next ‘at bat’ in baseball or the ‘next drive’ in football.

«While this partnership with Betgenius is just the tip of the iceberg for PointsBet in terms of streaming, it is an important first step toward strengthening our foundation for success as the popularity of in-play wagering increases.»

Bill Anderson, SVP – U.S. at Genius Sports Group, the parent company of Betgenius, said: «We’re thrilled to launch Streaming with our first U.S. customer. Offering a unique and differentiated betting experience has allowed PointsBet to grow impressively in the U.S. over the last two years. With competition fierce, standing out in the market is more important now than ever, and our Streaming service provides an exciting and powerful way to do that.»

Se anuncia oportunidad de acceder a subvenciones educativas con motivo del Mes de la Herencia Hispánica

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia, 9 de octubre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Este 31 de octubre, la Fundación para la Pesca y Navegación…

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia, 9 de octubre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Este 31 de octubre, la Fundación para la Pesca y Navegación Recreativas inaugurará su ciclo de subvenciones 2021 para el Fondo Educativo George H.W. BushVamos a Pescar™. Las subvenciones financiarán programas clave para apoyar a las instituciones locales de todo el país en sus iniciativas para convocar a la población hispanoamericana a las actividades de pesca, navegación y conservación de nuestras vías fluviales.

Una cifra récord de hispanoamericanos, un total de 4,4 millones, participa en la pesca recreativa, según el Informe especial sobre pesca 2020 de la RBFF. A pesar de este logro, los hispanoamericanos todavía no tienen una representación suficiente en esta actividad. Los hispanoamericanos constituyen el 18 % de la población estadounidense, pero solo el 9 % de ellos participa de la pesca.

«Especialmente en pleno Mes de la Herencia Hispánica de este año, cuando la gente pasa más tiempo al aire libre que antes, nos entusiasma celebrar la cifra récord de hispanoamericanos que disfrutan de las actividades de pesca y navegación en los EE. UU.», señaló Stephanie Vatalaro, vicepresidenta ejecutiva de Marketing y Comunicaciones de la RBFF. «Diversos estudios demuestran que la pesca y la navegación contribuyen al bienestar en muchos sentidos, por lo que es fundamental garantizar el acceso equitativo a estas actividades. El agua está abierta para todos y las subvenciones del Fondo Educativo George H.W. Bush Vamos A Pescar™ constituyen un medio importante para dar la bienvenida a quienes recién se integran a la comunidad de pesca y navegación.

En 2020, el Fondo Educativo recibió una donación de $50.000 de Bass Pro Shops que se destinó a financiar las subvenciones 2021. En homenaje al presidente George H.W. Bush, Johnny Morris, fundador y director ejecutivo de Bass Pro Shops, hizo una donación inicial en 2014 para impartir educación en materia de conservación y llevar las experiencias de pesca y navegación a las familias hispanas de todo el país.

«Nos complace seguir brindando nuestro apoyo para que más familias hispanas descubran el placer de la pesca y la navegación», señaló Bob Ziehmer, director de Conservación de Bass Pro Shops. «Tenemos el objetivo de ayudar a todas las familias a conectarse con la naturaleza y a crear vínculos entre sí a través de actividades recreativas divertidas al aire libre».

A partir del 31 de octubre de 2020 podrá descargarse la Guía de Subvenciones 2021. Las instituciones interesadas pueden visitar www.TakeMeFishing.org/EducationFund para obtener más información. El sitio web también ofrece recursos para principiantes, como guías prácticas para iniciarse en la pesca y la navegación, un mapa interactivo de lugares donde pescar y navegar, además de enlaces a pautas de seguridad para COVID-19.

Acerca de la Fundación para la Pesca y Navegación Recreativas (RBFF)
La RBFF es una organización sin fines de lucro cuya misión es aumentar la participación en la pesca con caña y la nevagación recreativas, protegiendo y recuperando así los recursos acuáticos naturales del país. La RBFF desarrolló las premiadas campañas Take Me Fishing™ y Vamos A Pescar™ para crear consciencia en torno a las actividades de pesca, navegación y conservación, e instruir a la gente sobre los beneficios de la participación. Take Me Fishing y Vamos A Pescar ayuda a los navegantes y pescadores con caña de todas las edades y niveles de experiencia a aprender, planificar y equiparse para pasar un día en el agua. Los sitios web de las campañas, TakeMeFishing.org y VamosAPescar.org, ofrecen videos prácticos, información sobre cómo obtener una licencia para pescar y el registro de la embarcación, y un mapa interactivo de cada estado, que permite a los visitantes encontrar lugares de pesca y navegación en la localidad.
