OAKLAND, Calif., 1 de marzo de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Blue Shield of California contribuyó $40 millones a Blue Shield of California Foundation en apoyo a su lucha contra la violencia doméstica y a sus esfuerzos por lograr que California sea el estado más saludable. En los últimos cuatro años, el plan de salud no lucrativo ha aportado más de $150 millones a su fundación.

Blue Shield of California Logo

Blue Shield of California Foundation es una organización independiente y no lucrativa que se financia íntegramente con las donaciones de Blue Shield of California. Blue Shield es un plan de salud no lucrativo con un estado tributario no exento y atiende a más de 4 millones de personas en California con la misión de ayudar a todos sus habitantes a tener acceso a una atención médica de alta calidad a un precio razonable. Blue Shield limita sus ingresos netos al 2% y se compromete a devolver a la comunidad y a sus miembros el dinero que gane por encima de ese límite.

«Nos complace apoyar y seguir apreciando la gran labor de Blue Shield of California Foundation», dijo Paul Markovich, presidente y director ejecutivo de Blue Shield of California. «La fundación tiene un impacto increíblemente positivo a través de sus programas y alianzas con grupos comunitarios en todo el estado».

Debbie Chang, presidenta y directora ejecutiva de Blue Shield of California Foundation dijo: «Agradecemos el apoyo de Blue Shield of California, el cual nos permite avanzar en el cumplimiento de nuestros audaces objetivos de convertir a California en el estado más saludable y terminar con la violencia doméstica. Al trabajar en estrecha colaboración con nuestros beneficiarios, aliados y las comunidades más afectadas por la violencia doméstica y la desigualdad en materia de salud, nos esforzamos por lograr un impacto a nivel del sistema, con el fin de crear un cambio duradero y sostenible para más personas. Además, podemos actuar con rapidez en momentos de gran necesidad, como nuestro apoyo a las comunidades más afectadas por la pandemia».

El año pasado, la fundación otorgó 113 subvenciones por un total de $26.5 millones para mejorar vidas, entre ellas:

  • Subvenciones por un total de $12 millones para ayudar a los californianos más afectados por la pandemia. La financiación inicial de la fundación ayudó a poner en marcha el Immigrant Resilience Fund a nivel estatal para ofrecer ayuda directa a los inmigrantes indocumentados excluidos de la asistencia federal. La fundación también se sumó a otros 12 financiadores para lanzar Together Toward Health, una iniciativa estatal que respalda la respuesta, el contacto y las oportunidades laborales en las comunidades más afectadas por el COVID-19. Otras subvenciones incluyeron la ayuda de emergencia a las personas afectadas por la violencia doméstica durante la pandemia.
  • Liderazgo e inversión continuos en la prevención de la violencia doméstica. Esto incluye la financiación del programa Domestic Violence Housing First de California, un modelo innovador que utiliza una ayuda monetaria flexible para evitar que los sobrevivientes de la violencia doméstica se queden sin hogar. La fundación también es donante fundadora de All In For Kids, un fondo dedicado a prevenir los traumas infantiles y terminar con la violencia doméstica en el Área de la Bahía. Otras subvenciones se enfocan en fomentar la participación de las niñas y las mujeres de color en la curación y la seguridad, y en el fortalecimiento de una red de hombres y niños de color que trabajan para poner fin a la violencia de género.
  • Innovaciones para mejorar la seguridad económica de los californianos, especialmente de las personas de color y de los trabajadores con bajos ingresos. Considerando la estrecha relación entre la posición económica y la salud y el bienestar, la fundación invirtió en iniciativas para mejorar las condiciones económicas de los trabajadores de guarderías, de los padres que estudian en colegios universitarios comunitarios y de los sobrevivientes de la violencia doméstica. La fundación también respaldó soluciones políticas que aumentan los ingresos y otorgan tiempo para el cuidado de la salud, como la ampliación de los permisos familiares pagos y el crédito fiscal por ingresos del trabajo.

Blue Shield of California Donates $40 Million to its Foundation

OAKLAND, Calif., March 1, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Blue Shield of California has made a $40-million contribution to Blue Shield of California Foundation to support its efforts to end domestic violence and to make California the healthiest state. The nonprofit health plan has contributed more than $150 million to its foundation over the past four years.

Blue Shield of California Logo

Blue Shield of California Foundation is an independent, nonprofit organization that is funded entirely by contributions from Blue Shield of California. Blue Shield is a tax paying, nonprofit health plan that serves more than 4 million people in the Golden State with a mission to help all Californians have access to high-quality health care at an affordable price. Blue Shield caps its net income at 2% and has a commitment to return money it earns above that target to the community and its members.

«We are pleased to support, and continue to appreciate, the great work by Blue Shield of California Foundation,» said Paul Markovich, president and CEO of Blue Shield of California. «The foundation has an incredibly positive impact through its programs and partnerships with community-based groups across the state.»

Said Debbie Chang, president and CEO of Blue Shield of California Foundation: «We are grateful for the support of Blue Shield of California, which enables us to make progress toward our bold goals of making California the healthiest state and ending domestic violence. By working closely with our grantees, partners and the communities most affected by health inequity and domestic violence, we strive to make impact at the system level, in order to create lasting and sustainable change for more people. In addition, we can move swiftly in times of great need, such as to support the communities hardest hit by the pandemic.»

Last year, the foundation awarded 113 grants totaling $26.5 million to improve lives, including:

  • Grants totaling $12 million to support Californians hardest hit by the pandemic. The Foundation’s seed funding helped launch the statewide Immigrant Resilience Fund to provide direct relief to undocumented immigrants that were excluded from federal relief efforts. The Foundation also joined 12 other funders to launch Together Toward Health, a statewide initiative to support response, outreach and job opportunities in the communities most affected by COVID-19. Additional grants included emergency support to those facing domestic violence during the pandemic.
  • Continued leadership and investment in domestic violence prevention. This includes funding California’s Domestic Violence Housing First program, an innovative model that uses flexible cash assistance to prevent homelessness for domestic violence survivors. The Foundation also is a founding donor of All In For Kids, a fund to prevent childhood trauma and end domestic violence in the Bay Area. Additional grants focus on engaging girls and women of color in healing and safety, and strengthening a network of men and boys of color working to end gender-based violence.   
  • Innovations to improve the financial security of Californians, particularly people of color and low-income workers. Given the close connection between economic position and health and well-being, the Foundation invested in efforts to improve economic conditions for childcare workers, student-parents at community colleges and domestic violence survivors. The Foundation also supported policy solutions that increase income and give time for health such as expanding paid family leave and the earned income tax credit.

Bridgestone Retail Operations Raises $3.6 Million in 2020 for Boys & Girls Clubs of America

NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Bridgestone Retail Operations (Bridgestone), a subsidiary of Bridgestone…

NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Bridgestone Retail Operations (Bridgestone), a subsidiary of Bridgestone Americas, announced it raised more than $3.6 million in 2020 for Boys & Girls Clubs of America as part of their nationwide Driving Great Futures partnership. A large portion of the 2020 funds went to help Club kids and teens gain access to high-impact, out-of-school support amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Included in the $3.6 million is a $200,000 donation from the Bridgestone Americas Trust Fund to help fund technology gaps and support ongoing virtual programming needs.

«Boys & Girls Clubs of America is always a critical resource for kids and families, but even more so as they pivoted to provide essential services like meal delivery and Wi-Fi hot spots for Club kids who abruptly moved to new ways of learning due to COVID-19,» said Marko Ibrahim, president, Bridgestone Retail Operations. «Despite these challenging times, the generosity of our customers and teammates did not waver, and we are grateful for their support as we continue to drive great futures together.»

In addition to contributing $1.6 million to the Boys & Girls Clubs COVID-19 Relief Fund in 2020, Bridgestone awarded 40 transportation grants in December to Boys & Girls Clubs across the country. The grants were used to help with maintenance and repairs of existing vehicles or the purchase of new Club vehicles. The $200,000 donation from the Bridgestone Americas Trust Fund, combined with $300,000 in Q4 customer donations, will provide half a million dollars toward technology grants that will provide Clubs with equipment, enhanced internet access, hotspots and other resources needed to keep Club kids connected to their schoolwork and after-school programming.

«This has been a difficult year for all of us, and Bridgestone continues to help us with the biggest obstacles we face—getting kids to and from our Clubs, and helping those kids get and maintain access to technology while remote learning,» said Jim Clark, president and CEO, Boys & Girls Clubs of America. «The Bridgestone Driving Great Futures program gave us a lift in 2020, and we are excited to also provide additional technology support to many of our Club youth thanks to the Trust Fund donation and additional in-store donations.»

El Museo de Naturaleza y Ciencia de Denver presenta la exposición Stonehenge, con 400 objetos originales y avances científicos revolucionarios

DENVER, 1 de marzo de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — La exposición «Stonehenge» abrirá sus puertas en el Museo de Naturaleza y Ciencia de Denver este viernes 12 de marzo, con la presentación de 400 objetos y los avances científicos revolucionarios detrás de algunos de los últimos descubrimientos acerca de este monumento prehistórico.

DENVER, 1 de marzo de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — La exposición «Stonehenge» abrirá sus puertas en el Museo de Naturaleza y Ciencia de Denver este viernes 12 de marzo, con la presentación de 400 objetos y los avances científicos revolucionarios detrás de algunos de los últimos descubrimientos acerca de este monumento prehistórico.

Stonehenge the exhibition opens at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science Friday, March 12.

Designado patrimonio histórico de la humanidad, y descrito como inspirador, mágico y sagrado, Stonehenge, en Wiltshire, Inglaterra, es uno de los monumentos más famosos del Reino Unido. El monumento alguna vez estuvo compuesto por aros y herraduras de rocas erguidas, algunas coronadas con «dinteles» horizontales. Las rocas más grandes tienen aproximadamente 23 pies (7 metros) de altura, 9 pies (2.7 metros) de ancho y pesan más de 50,000 libras (22,680 kilogramos). Los análisis científicos han revelado que algunas de las rocas fueron transportadas desde las montañas Preseli en Gales, a una distancia increíble de más de 150 millas (240 kilómetros), sin disponer de medios modernos de transporte.

«Grandes misterios e intriga rodean a Stonehenge», señaló Erin Baxter, curadora de antropología del Museo de Naturaleza y Ciencia de Denver. «Esta exposición de clase mundial les permite a los visitantes explorar y vivenciar todas esas preguntas, así como toparse con lo más reciente en las investigaciones científicas».

Los visitantes explorarán este entorno ancestral y podrán aprender cómo vivían las personas de la zona, cómo se construyó el monumento y sus cambios a lo largo del tiempo, y cómo la ciencia moderna sigue puliendo la historia.

«Tenemos la fortuna de traer esta exposición de clase mundial a Denver y de compartir sus maravillas con la comunidad de Colorado y muchas personas más», expresó George Sparks, presidente y director ejecutivo del Museo de Naturaleza y Ciencia de Denver. «Lo verdaderamente admirable es la profundidad del conocimiento que tenemos ahora con respecto a lo que nos cuentan estas enormes y silenciosas rocas. Estamos ansiosos por compartir con nuestros visitantes este viaje extraordinario a través de misterios ancestrales y descubrimientos modernos».

Durante siglos, académicos y visitantes por igual se han preguntado acerca de este monumento prehistórico único. Gracias a las últimas investigaciones científicas, los arqueólogos estiman que Stonehenge se construyó entre el año 3000 a.C. y el 2000 a.C.

La exposición es curada por Mike Parker Pearson, profesor de Prehistoria Tardía Británica en el Instituto de Arqueología del University College de Londres.

Esta exposición es producida por MuseumsPartner en Austria en colaboración con English Heritage.

DENVER, March 1, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — «Stonehenge» the exhibition will open at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science on Friday, March 12, featuring 400 artifacts and the breakthrough science behind some of the latest discoveries about this prehistoric monument.

Denver Museum of Nature & Science

Designated as a World Heritage Site and described as inspiring, magical and sacred, Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England, is one of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom. The monument once consisted of rings and horseshoes of standing stones, some topped by horizontal «lintels.» The largest stones are around 23 feet high, nine feet wide and weigh over 50,000 pounds. Scientific analysis has revealed that some of the stones were transported an incredible distance from the Preseli Mountains in Wales, over 150 miles away, with no modern means of transportation.

«Much mystery and intrigue surrounds Stonehenge,» Erin Baxter, Denver Museum of Nature & Science curator of anthropology said. «This world-class exhibition allows guests to explore and experience all of those questions and encounter the very latest in scientific research.»

Guests will explore the ancient landscape; how people of the area lived; how the monument was constructed and changed through time; and how modern science continues to refine the story.

«We’re fortunate to bring this world-class exhibition to Denver and share its wonder with the Colorado community and beyond,» George Sparks, Denver Museum of Nature & Science president & CEO said. «What is truly remarkable is the depth of knowledge we now have regarding what the silent and massive stones tell us. We can’t wait to share this fantastic journey through ancient mysteries and modern discoveries with our guests.»

Scholars and visitors alike have puzzled over this unique prehistoric monument for centuries. Thanks to  the latest scientific research, archaeologists believe Stonehenge was constructed from 3000 BCE to 2000 BCE.

The exhibition is curated by Mike Parker Pearson, professor of British Later Prehistory at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London.

This exhibition is produced by MuseumsPartner in Austria in collaboration with English Heritage.
