Education Grants Opportunity Announced in Honor of Hispanic Heritage Month

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia, Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation will open its 2021 grants cycle for the <a target="_blank"…

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia, Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation will open its 2021 grants cycle for the George H.W. Bush Vamos a Pescar™ Education Fund by October 31, 2020. The grants will provide key program funding to support local organizations nationwide in their initiatives to engage Hispanic Americans in fishing, boating, and conserving our waterways.

A record breaking number of Hispanic Americans — a total of 4.4 million — participate in recreational fishing, according to RBFF’s 2020 Special Report on Fishing. Despite this achievement, Hispanic Americans are still underrepresented on the water. Hispanics make up 18 percent of the U.S. population but only 9 percent of Hispanic Americans are fishing participants.

«Especially in the midst of this year’s Hispanic Heritage Month, when people are spending more time outdoors than ever before, we’re excited to celebrate the record number of Hispanics enjoying fishing and boating in the U.S.,» said Stephanie Vatalaro, RBFF’s Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications. «Fishing and boating have been shown in studies to contribute to many wellness benefits, so it’s essential to ensure equitable access to these activities. The water is open to everyone, and the George H.W. Bush Vamos A Pescar™ Education Fund grants are an important means of welcoming diverse newcomers to the fishing and boating community.

In 2020, the Education Fund received a $50,000 donation from Bass Pro Shops to help fund the 2021 grants. In honor of President George H.W. Bush, Bass Pro Shops Founder and CEO Johnny Morris initially donated in 2014 to bring conservation education and fishing and boating experiences to Hispanic families across the country.

«We are pleased to continue our support to help more Hispanic families discover the joy of fishing and boating,» said Bob Ziehmer, Conservation Director for Bass Pro Shops. «We’re dedicated to helping all families connect to nature, and each other, through fun, outdoor recreational activities.»

The 2021 Grant Guidelines will be available for download by October 31, 2020. Interested organizations can visit www.TakeMeFishing.org/EducationFund to learn more. The website also features beginner resources, including how-to guides for getting started fishing and boating, an interactive map of places to fish and boat, as well as links to COVID-19 safety guidelines.

About the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation (RBFF)
RBFF is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to increase participation in recreational angling and boating, thereby protecting and restoring the nation’s aquatic natural resources. RBFF developed the award-winning Take Me Fishing™ and Vamos A Pescar™ campaigns to create awareness around boating, fishing and conservation, and educate people about the benefits of participation. Take Me Fishing and Vamos A Pescar help boaters and anglers of all ages and experience levels learn, plan and equip for a day on the water. The campaign websites, TakeMeFishing.org, and VamosAPescar.org, feature how-to videos, information on how to get a fishing license and boat registration, and an interactive state-by-state map that allows visitors to find local boating and fishing spots.

Despite 2020’s Best Efforts, the Holidays Are Approaching

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — It’s that time already? The days have blended this year more than usual due to daily-routine changes courtesy of the pandemic. But now it’s time to focus on happier times ahead over the next few weeks as the holidays get closer, and who isn’t excited to do that?

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — It’s that time already? The days have blended this year more than usual due to daily-routine changes courtesy of the pandemic. But now it’s time to focus on happier times ahead over the next few weeks as the holidays get closer, and who isn’t excited to do that?

As always, the U.S. Postal Service has you covered with all the important mailing deadlines you need to know for the expected delivery of cards and gifts to your loved ones, whether they’re overseas or across the country. 

2020 Holiday Shipping Deadlines
The Postal Service recommends the following mailing and shipping deadlines for expected delivery by Dec. 25 to domestic addresses and Air/Army Post Office/Fleet Post Office/Diplomatic Post Office addresses*:

  • Nov. 6   — APO/FPO/DPO (all ZIP Codes) USPS Retail Ground service
  • Dec. 9   — APO/FPO/DPO (ZIP Code 093 only) Priority Mail and First-Class Mail
  • Dec. 11 — APO/FPO/DPO (all other ZIP Codes) Priority Mail and First-Class Mail services
  • Dec. 15 — USPS Retail Ground service
  • Dec. 18 — APO/FPO/DPO (except ZIP Code 093) USPS Priority Mail Express service
  • Dec. 18 — First-Class Mail service (including greeting cards)
  • Dec. 18 — First-class packages (up to 15.99 ounces)
  • Dec. 19 — Priority Mail service
  • Dec. 23 — Priority Mail Express* service

*Not a guarantee, unless otherwise noted. Dates are for estimated delivery before Dec. 25. Actual delivery date may vary depending on origin, destination, Post Office acceptance date and time, and other conditions. Some restrictions apply. For Priority Mail Express shipments mailed Dec. 22 through Dec. 25, the money-back guarantee applies only if the shipment was not delivered, or delivery was not attempted, within two business days.

Skip the Trip and Ship Online
Consumers don’t even have to leave home to ship their packages, simply visit usps.com. The Postal Service anticipates Dec. 14 will be the Postal Service’s busiest day online with more than 13 million consumers predicted to visit usps.com for help shipping that special holiday gift. And usps.com is always open.

It’s estimated nearly 500,000 consumers will use the Click-N-Ship feature and other online services on Dec. 14 to order free Priority Mail boxes, print shipping labels, purchase postage and even request free next-day Package Pickup.

Busiest Time
While holiday shopping is going to be different this year for many reasons, one thing hasn’t changed. The Postal Service still has its busiest time, which starts two weeks before Christmas. Beginning the week of Dec. 7, customer traffic is expected to increase, with the week of Dec. 14-21 predicted to be the busiest mailing, shipping and delivery week.

More tips for a successful holiday mailing and shipping season:

  • Use free Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes. They are available at local Post Offices or online at usps.com/freeboxes.
  • Make it easy with Click-N-Ship. You can create shipping labels and pay for postage online at usps.com/ship.
  • Schedule a free Package Pickup when the carrier delivers your mail. It’s free regardless of the number of packages. Or, pickups can be scheduled at usps.com/pickup.
  • Mail and packages that weigh more than 10 ounces and/or are more than a half-inch thick using stamps as postage cannot be dropped into a collection box or left for a carrier to pick up. Instead, take them to a window clerk at a Post Office.

Additional news and information, including all domestic, international and military mailing and shipping deadlines, can be found at the Postal Service Holiday Newsroom: usps.com/holidaynews.

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.

Education Grants Opportunity Announced in Honor of Hispanic Heritage Month

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation will open its 2021 grants cycle for the <a target="_blank"…

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation will open its 2021 grants cycle for the George H.W. Bush Vamos a Pescar™ Education Fund by October 31, 2020. The grants will provide key program funding to support local organizations nationwide in their initiatives to engage Hispanic Americans in fishing, boating, and conserving our waterways.

A record breaking number of Hispanic Americans — a total of 4.4 million — participate in recreational fishing, according to RBFF’s 2020 Special Report on Fishing. Despite this achievement, Hispanic Americans are still underrepresented on the water. Hispanics make up 18 percent of the U.S. population but only 9 percent of Hispanic Americans are fishing participants.

«Especially in the midst of this year’s Hispanic Heritage Month, when people are spending more time outdoors than ever before, we’re excited to celebrate the record number of Hispanics enjoying fishing and boating in the U.S.,» said Stephanie Vatalaro, RBFF’s Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications. «Fishing and boating have been shown in studies to contribute to many wellness benefits, so it’s essential to ensure equitable access to these activities. The water is open to everyone, and the George H.W. Bush Vamos A Pescar™ Education Fund grants are an important means of welcoming diverse newcomers to the fishing and boating community.

In 2020, the Education Fund received a $50,000 donation from Bass Pro Shops to help fund the 2021 grants. In honor of President George H.W. Bush, Bass Pro Shops Founder and CEO Johnny Morris initially donated in 2014 to bring conservation education and fishing and boating experiences to Hispanic families across the country.

«We are pleased to continue our support to help more Hispanic families discover the joy of fishing and boating,» said Bob Ziehmer, Conservation Director for Bass Pro Shops. «We’re dedicated to helping all families connect to nature, and each other, through fun, outdoor recreational activities.»

The 2021 Grant Guidelines will be available for download by October 31, 2020. Interested organizations can visit www.TakeMeFishing.org/EducationFund to learn more. The website also features beginner resources, including how-to guides for getting started fishing and boating, an interactive map of places to fish and boat, as well as links to COVID-19 safety guidelines.
