Jet Linx Commences Sixth Year Of Breast Cancer Support With The Tutu Project

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Jet Linx, the leading private jet management and Jet Card membership company in the United States, and <a target="_blank"…

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Jet Linx, the leading private jet management and Jet Card membership company in the United States, and The Tutu Project, a nonprofit that provides financial and emotional support to breast cancer patients, has launched their sixth year of partnership in an effort to raise funds and provide critical aid for breast cancer patients and their families during the COVID-19 health crisis. The announcement was made by Jamie Walker, President & Chief Executive Officer of Jet Linx.

«It is an honor to kick off another year of partnership with The Tutu Project following last year’s #Dare2Tutu campaign, which culminated in raising a record-breaking $92,000 for those affected by breast cancer,» said Jamie Walker. «Our continued involvement with The Tutu Project has provided an inspiring and engaging way for our team, clients and loved ones to contribute to wonderful cause that aligns with our core values. We recognize that this year’s fundraising efforts are more important than ever before given the inevitable stress and concern created by the COVID-19 pandemic for immunocompromised populations, and are dedicated to encouraging as many people as we can to participate in the #Dare2Tutu campaign throughout the month of October.»

Founded by Bob and Linda Carey in 2003, The Tutu Project is a non-profit organization devoted to providing financial assistance for expenses not covered by insurance, such as groceries, utility bills, and transportation to doctor appointments. When Linda was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003, Bob began taking photos of himself wearing only a pink tutu in public places to put a smile on Linda’s face. The project went viral in 2012 after an appearance on The Today Show, and led to the establishment of The Tutu Project. As The Tutu Project’s single-largest corporate sponsor in both 2018 and 2019, Jet Linx has raised over $180,000 for The Tutu Project’s #Dare2Tutu campaign since their partnership began in 2015. Due to the incredible success of the 2019 campaign, in January 2020, The Tutu Project was able to launch a pilot grant program to provide financial assistance directly to individuals and families currently fighting breast cancer, instead of distributing funds solely through charity partners.

In response to the pandemic, this summer The Tutu Project also launched an emergency assistance program, and received over 800 assistance applications in the first week. «We have seen requests for support increase by as much as 43% due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as breast cancer patients have found themselves not only at a higher risk for infection, but facing new financial woes brought on by the global health crisis,» said Linda Carey, Co-Founder of The Tutu Project & President of the Carey Foundation. «We are incredibly grateful and thankful for Jet Linx’s continued and unwavering commitment, especially at a time when the need for support is more critical than ever.»

This October, Jet Linx is again spearheading a #Dare2Tutu campaign, during which the company donates $10 for every photo submitted of participants in tutus. Jet Linx also collaborated with the charity to create a limited edition, jet-themed photo featuring Project founder Bob Carey alongside a Jet Linx aircraft for silent auction at all Jet Linx Base locations nationwide. To further encourage direct-giving to The Tutu Project, the company also launched it’s first-ever direct donation match, up to $15,000 for 2020.

PointsBet Offering Extremely Favorable +86 Spreadline For Chicago Bears Vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers On Thursday Night Football

CHICAGO, Oct. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — PointsBet, official sports betting partner of the Chicago Bears and the fastest growing sportsbook in Illinois, is back again with an innovative «On the House Booster» promotion for sports bettors in the Prairie State.

<div…

For this week’s Thursday Night Football matchup vs. Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, PointsBet will offer the Bears at an extremely favorable +86 spreadline representing the 1986 Chicago Bears Superbowl victory.

In addition to this week’s «On the House Booster,» PointsBet is offering the best price in market for all Chicago Bears games this season across both the pregame spreadline and moneyline bet types. The operator also recently announced a partnership with Chicago Bears legend, Devin Hester, highlighting the symbiotic element of Hester’s world-class speed on the field and PointsBet’s unmatched speed and ease of use off it, thanks to PointsBet owning their technology end-to-end and placing an emphasis on an in-house development approach.

This marks the third time this season that PointsBet Illinois has offered a «Can’t Lose» Bears Booster. For Week 1 at the Lions, the Bears spread was boosted five points with every 200 bets placed from its starting position of +3, resulting in a final line of +100. For Week 2 vs. the Giants, PointsBet’s On the House Bears Booster started and remained at +89, representing the distance of brand ambassador Devin Hester’s longest punt return for a touchdown.

PointsBet and Hawthorne Race Course recently partnered together to open Illinois’ newest retail sportsbook and the closest in-person sports betting destination to downtown Chicago. PointsBet, a premium global sportsbook operator, debuted its mobile app and digital sports betting product in Illinois at the start of the NFL season. The brick and mortar sportsbook at Hawthorne is the first of four Chicagoland locations that the companies will open as Illinois partners, and is a precursor to the premium PointsBet Sportsbook that will be a part of Hawthorne’s historic $400 million casino development, scheduled to open in late 2021 (pending final regulatory approval).

About PointsBet
PointsBet is one of the fastest growing sportsbooks in the country and is rapidly expanding its U.S. footprint, now bringing its best-in-market proprietary technology, modernized and premium brand mentality, expert trading practices and proven growth marketing strategies to both the Illinois sports betting market and the notoriously passionate Chicago-area sports fans. Originally founded in Australia, PointsBet is a cutting-edge bookmaker that prides itself on having the quickest and most user-friendly app (iOS and Android) while also providing the best content and experience for sports bettors. PointsBet is the only U.S. online bookmaker to offer PointsBetting – a unique and innovative way to bet – and has also introduced a slew of well-received, bettor-first initiatives. PointsBet offers the most markets on all four major U.S. sports (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL) and PointsBetting in the world, including up to 1,000 markets per NBA game.

This Election Season, Live Under a Rock (Literally!) With Hotels.com

DALLAS, Oct. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The 2020 news cycle has generated enough negative headlines for 1,000 years. And with the upcoming election season…it’s likely going to get much worse. As it is, nearly two-thirds of Americans* are worn out by the sheer volume of news they’re inundated with daily.

<a…

For those of you experiencing any and all forms of election stress disorder (it’s a real thing!), Hotels.com is helping you escape the chatter to go live under a rock — literally!

After you’ve cast your ballot (by mail, absentee, early voting, etc.!), you can check out of the newsfeed negativity and check in to a man-made cave built 50 feet below ground for a five-night stay from November 2 – 7, 2020. This off-the-grid overnight experience in New Mexico will have you saying, «2020 who?» as you embrace the cave’s amenities, or lack thereof. Go ahead! Relax and cut all access to Wi-Fi, cable TV, and daily newspaper service. We won’t blame you!
