[ad_1]
Press Release

Jul 28, 2022
TORONTO, July 28, 2022 (Newswire.com)
–
Stadium Live, the leading platform for Gen Z sports fans, today announced its $10 million Series A funding round led by KB Partners and Union Square Ventures. Kevin Durant’s 35 Ventures, Blaise Matuidi’s Origins Fund, Dapper Labs Ventures, Position Ventures, Valhalla Ventures, 6th Man Ventures, Alumni Ventures, and Breakout Capital also participated in the round.The company previously raised a $3 million seed round from Union Square Ventures, as well as Golden Ventures, Maple VC, Intonation Ventures, and Secocha Ventures.
“Throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand Gen Z sports fans’ desire to connect with their teams and fellow supporters on a deeper, more interactive level,” said Blaise Matuidi, co-founder of Origins Fund and 2018 FIFA World Cup Champion. “Stadium Live is the most relevant way for fans to gather and engage in the sports ecosystem. I’m very happy to be part of the Stadium Live adventure alongside an incredible champion like Kevin Durant.”
Stadium Live emerged on the tech scene with an innovative sports platform, garnering over 500,000 users1 to date. The company is quickly becoming the go-to platform for a new generation of Gen Z sports fans.
Traditional sports viewership among Gen Z is on the decline, with Gen Z sports fans increasingly favoring short-form content on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok2. They also increasingly identify themselves as gamers, with 87% of Gen Z playing games on their smartphones weekly, if not daily3. Gen Z is also an early adopter of vertical social networks centered around a specific interest. Vertical communities like Stadium Live are among the fastest-growing social platforms in the world4.
Stadium Live combines elements of a social network with short-form sports-focused gameplay meant to appeal to a new generation of sports fans. The company is making waves in the sports tech space, particularly among the Gen Z audience which has clung to the platform for its unique combination of social features and sports gameplay. Ninety-three percent of Stadium Live’s users are Gen Z sports fans.
“We are thrilled to partner with Stadium Live on their mission to create new and unique experiences for a new generation of sports fans,” said Lance Dietz, Partner at KB Partners. “The future of fandom is evolving rapidly and Stadium Live is pushing the envelope on how fans engage with their communities, sports properties, and brands.”
Stadium Live is a digital world where Gen Z sports fans express their fandom. Users create a custom avatar, collect unique items, chat and make friends with other sports fans, and participate in sports-focused gameplay and livestreams to earn coins and level up their avatar. Users then spend their coins on unique items for their avatar and power-ups to use in matches, and in one-on-one battles to test their sports knowledge against other players.
“Stadium Live is providing this new generation of sports fans with a novel and mobile-first way of expressing their fandom,” said Andy Weissman, Managing Partner at Union Square Ventures. “We’re excited to continue to partner with Stadium Live as they continue to grow and redefine the sports industry.”
A recent partnership with Fan Controlled Football, an up-and-coming alternative football league also taking a Gen Z-focused approach to football, was just announced with Stadium Live, playing a key role in enhancing the ways the league engages with its fans digitally.
“The sports industry has been slow to adapt to a new generation of digitally native fans,” said Kevin Kim, CEO of Stadium Live. “We pride ourselves on developing a platform for the community and with the help of the community. Sports is more than just sports to Gen Z — it is culture, music, fashion, and so much more. Our focus is on building the tools to let people interact with each other within the metaverse. We’re building more than just an environment, we’re building a community.”
Stadium Live is available today on iOS, with an Android release slated for Q4 2022.

The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament Makes Sporting History With a Record Payout
[ad_1]
Virginia Team Wins Over 3.4 Million Dollars in Prize Money with the Event’s Top Catch
Press Release

Jul 12, 2022
MOREHEAD CITY, N.C., July 12, 2022 (Newswire.com)
–
The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament recently celebrated 64 years of competition with a record-breaking purse and top prize payout. This year, 266 teams and over 1,500 competitors vied for a piece of the impressive $5,858,875 purse, and the winning team was able to stack up a total payout of $3,489,813 – a record only surpassed by one other event in all of billfishing’s tournament history.Day 1 of the tournament started off hot, with Captain Neil Sykes of the 72-foot Viking, “MERCENARIA”, and angler Matthew Brown weighing a 572.6-pound blue marlin. Their entry into the Fabulous Fisherman division of the tournament immediately ensured them at least $777,750 for bringing the first blue marlin to the scales weighing over 500 pounds.
Teams fish four of six days (captain’s choice) of the tournament and can enter as many of the 11 eligible divisions as they prefer, each with unique payout opportunities. Although seven additional blue marlin were brought to the scales at Big Rock Landing throughout the six-day tournament, none could unseat the 572.6-pound fish weighed by “MERCENARIA” on the first day. The team’s first-place blue marlin along with their Fabulous Fisherman prize added up to winnings of $3,489,813. Other popular billfish tournaments have had larger participant fields and total purses available, but only once has a single participating team won a calcutta of prizes this large.
Former NBA and North Carlina basketball superstar Michael Jordan added to the Day 1 excitement, backing into Big Rock Landing in Morehead City aboard his 80-foot Viking yacht, “CATCH 23” and weighing a 24-pound dolphin fish (mahi). Jordan went on to release two blue marlin during the tournament.
While multi-million-dollar winnings are commonplace in the world of professional sports, fishing tournaments like the Big Rock attract entrants from all walks of life and experience levels, with Lady and Junior angler divisions also offering distinct payouts. In the 64 years of tournament history, fishing for blue marlin off North Carolina has truly evolved from a novel hobby to an epic sporting event rewarding anglers with millions of dollars.
This year, nearly 1 million listeners from 60 countries tuned in to Big Rock Radio to keep tabs on the action. Big Rock TV also features daily live stream video sessions and racked up over 2 million viewers in 71 countries.
The Big Rock is not just a week-long sportfishing tournament or unique spectating destination, it is also a charitable foundation that gives to the local community throughout the year. Total charitable contributions since The Big Rock Foundation was formed in 1986 exceed $7.5 million.
As the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament continues to grow its global following and offshore participant base, so will the charitable efforts throughout the communities the Big Rock Foundation serves. The Big Rock Board of Directors is grateful for the support of so many world-class teams, businesses and organizations, and look forward to June 12, 2023, for the kick-off of the 65th Annual tournament! Read Full Recap
# # #
The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament‘s mission is to work diligently to promote sportfishing and conservation while also raising charity funds for regional & international communities. This is accomplished through sponsorships of not only the main tournament, but the Big Rock, Big Hero program, the Keli Wagner Lady Angler (KWLA) Tournament, and the Big Rock Kids Tournament.

U.S. Polo Assn., the official brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), in collaboration with its UK licensee Brand Machine Group (BMG), was the Official Apparel Partner for the British Beach Polo Championships 2022, played July 8-9 at Sandbanks Beach in Poole, England.Through this partnership, U.S. Polo Assn. outfitted the polo players in custom jerseys, provided staff attire as well as branded caps for attendees, social media competitions, and global promotion of the event across various digital platforms. This is the second consecutive year U.S. Polo Assn. has partnered with the British Beach Polo Championships tournament.
Now in its 15th year, the British Beach Polo Championships, also known as Sandpolo, is the largest beach polo event in the world. Sandpolo is a unique way to watch and play the sport of polo on the stunning shores of Sandbanks Beach, a prestigious destination known for its luxury properties and pristine sand. A twist on traditional polo, Sandpolo is played with an oversized orange ball designed to be easily seen in the sand but still move at a high speed.
In the sold-out Sandbanks Beach Arena, thousands of Sandpolo fans were close enough to the action to see all the fast-paced competition between Team Whispering Angel and Team Singha during the two-day event. In the end, it was Team Whispering Angel (Chris Gregory, Adolfo Casabal & Hazel Jackson) that took the British Beach Championships 2022 title with a 19-11 victory against Team Singha (Garrie Renucci, Ollie Cork & Jimmy Wood).
“The UK continues to be one of U.S. Polo Assn.’s fastest growing markets, and we are thrilled to again partner with the British Beach Polo Championships to showcase another version of polo in a great destination,” said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global Licensing, which manages the global, multi-billion-dollar U.S. Polo Assn. brand. “Aligning our growth strategy with Sandpolo is an opportunity to expose new fans and global consumers through an amazing experience to the sport of polo and the authenticity of the U.S. Polo Assn. brand.”
Celebrating the 15th anniversary of Sandpolo, the entertainment for players and attendees over the two-day event included glamorous after-parties with themes of ‘Boogie on the Beach’ and ‘Encore Beach Party.’ Musical entertainment included a 14-piece Ibiza Classics Orchestra, The Real Thing, Soul II Soul’s Jazzy B, and an array of DJs.
“We’d like to thank U.S. Polo Assn. for partnering with the British Beach Polo Championships as the Official Apparel Sponsor for the second year in a row,” said Johnny Wheeler, the Founder and Director of Sandpolo. “Now celebrating our 15th year at Sandbanks, the Sandpolo event continues to receive great exposure and be an incredible experience, thanks in part to U.S. Polo Assn. and the love for polo from sports fans around the world.”
Worth noting, U.S. Polo Assn. and BMG has an aggressive growth strategy in the UK, opening its first retail store at the McArthurGlen Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet, which houses the latest men’s and women’s collections from the global, sport-inspired brand. The elevated store design concept is set over 2000 sq. ft., complete with aspirational imagery, the brand’s signature stripe detailing, tech-driven touchless pay, and LED screens for streaming photoshoots and some of the world’s most exciting polo games.
Additional photos from the event are available upon request.

The TK20R V2.0 features virtually indestructible Luminus SFT70 LED, intuitive dual rear switch, hidden and inner waterproof USB-C charging port, and proprietary Fenix’s innovative APF system.“Over the past few years, we have been devoted to making a flashlight both compact and powerful, the TK20R V2.0 revolutionizes the idea of a compact, super-bright flashlight for outdoor activities,” said Fenix Product Manager, Vincent Tseng.
Checking the officially released specifications, the TK20R V2.0 is capable of projecting 3,000 lumens with a useful and far-reaching beam of 475 meters. Machined from durable aluminum with a textured grip surface, the light measures 25.4 mm in diameter and weighs 204 g, so you can easily hold the light single-handed. And with its dual rear switch, you can just operate the light for momentary-on/off, brightness selection, and strobe. This upgraded model redefines maximum versatility. Use it as an everyday carry light for self-defense or an improvised tactical light for the military – it can tackle either job with authority.
“We heard the complaints from the consumers that the common USB cap is easy to be torn off due to aging. Taking the consumers’ voice into consideration, we made the USB Type-C charging port of TK20R V2.0 inner waterproof and concealed, users only reveal it when charging, maintain a clean appearance, and create a dustproof and waterproof seal,” said the Product Project Manager, Mattew Leung. “We hope users will be pleasantly surprised when they pick up the TK20R V2.0, ‘Yes, this is exactly the flashlight I’m looking for.’”

The East Orlando Preds Cancel 2020 Fall Football and Cheer Season
[ad_1]
Nation’s Largest AAU Youth Football and Cheer Club Cancels Fall Season Due to COVID-19 Concerns
Press Release
–
updated: Jul 14, 2020
ORLANDO, Fla., July 14, 2020 (Newswire.com)
–
The East Orlando Preds, the nation’s largest AAU Youth Football and Cheer Club, has always been committed to the health, safety, and the positive development of its athletes and families. For that reason, the Preds have made the very difficult decision to not participate in the 2020 Fall football and cheer season due to the negative effects of COVID-19 in its community and the country.Since being established in 2013, the East Orlando Preds football and cheer programs have had tremendous success. The Preds football program has captured five FYFCL Super Bowl championships, including back-to-back 14U undefeated championship seasons (2018, 2019), and have played in a total of 10 FYFCL Super Bowls. In 2019, the Preds 14U football team finished 17-0, AAU National Football Champions, and were featured Super Bowl Sunday on Fox News’ Fox & Friends telecast on its South Beach Super Bowl set. Today, more than 15 Preds student-athletes are playing or entering their first year of collegiate athletics, while another 10 high school players have current collegiate sports scholarship offers.
On the cheer mat, the Preds Cheer Program has dominated youth cheer in the Central Florida region with over 50 first-place finishes, and over 100 second- and third-place finishes over the past six seasons, including being named Grand, Spirit or Arena champion over 25 times. In the past two years, the Preds cheer squads have won three UYFL National Cheer Championships at the 14U and 12U levels.
While the Preds love to compete and are committed to excellence on and off the football field and cheer mat, they have always done so with health and safety at the forefront.
“Unfortunately, COVID-19 is having a devastating and disproportional impact on multi-generational and lower-income households,” says East Orlando Preds President Shawn Seipler. “Cases of diabetes, asthma, obesity, heart disease, and hypertension exist at higher rates in these at-risk communities. Individuals with these underlying conditions have the greatest health risk to COVID-19. With so little information about the long-term impacts of the virus and the number of cases and infection rates rising among younger individuals who can carry the virus, we do not feel it is prudent to have youth football and cheer this fall. We can wait until early 2021, after proven treatments and a potential vaccine are available, to do our part to stop the spread and to keep our families safe.”
Shawn Seipler, President of the East Orlando Preds and Head Coach of the 14U football team, is also the founder and CEO of Clean the World, a global impact, social enterprise that distributes soap and provides WASH education to at-risk populations across the U.S. and worldwide. Clean the World has been a leading organization distributing soap and hygiene kits globally during the COVID-19 pandemic. Six members of the East Orlando Preds Board of Directors are Clean the World team members, including the reigning Arena Bowl Champion Head Coach Rob Keefe, who serves as the Preds football commissioner.
“When you see what the NFL, college football and other professional sports leagues are doing around the country right now in an effort to stem the spread of COVID-19 with tremendous resources at their disposal, it just did not feel right for us to proceed this year, knowing we do not have the same resources and medical experts in place to protect our families,” said Head Coach Rob Keefe. “We encourage all youth football and sports organizations to take a hard look at what they are accomplishing right now by attempting to have fall sports. It may be time for us to concentrate on delivering safe classroom education while finding healthy alternatives to mental and physical engagement for our youth that incorporates the necessary precautions to stop the spread of COVID-19.”
The East Orlando Preds, now the proud feeder program to Colonial High School, will be back and will proceed with the 2021 season when things are safe to do so.
About the East Orlando Preds:

LOS ANGELES, April 22, 2020 (Newswire.com)
–
Two college freshmen from the George Washington University have launched a platform where college basketball fans can donate on behalf of their team to the front-liners fighting COVID-19. The website is called “Bracket of Hope”, where in the light of the NCAA tournament’s cancellation this year, fans can instead go and donate on behalf of their team on a mock-up bracket, and the team that raises more money moves to the next round. In each match-up, 20% of the money raised by the winner of the round will go back to the school’s scholarship fund, and 10% of the money raised by the team that fell short will also go to their scholarship fund. The rest of the money will go to each respective team’s COVID-19 related charity of choice. The way teams are seeded is predominantly based on how they performed this year, with the exception of a few lower seeds consisting of teams with huge fan-bases but have not met the tournament’s required credentials.Farid Adibi, a co-founder of Bracket of Hope, talks about the purpose behind the project: “In light of the pandemic, we wanted to unite this nation in a fun way all the while fighting COVID-19. We figured that March Madness has always brought people of different walks of life together, and people still want to show their school spirit even though the tournament was canceled. We hope that fans donate money on behalf of their team and show their true colors even in the darkest of situations.”
Despite limited resources, these two freshmen still managed to bring up the website in a short amount of time in order to receive donations as soon as possible. They are excited about this project and can’t wait for the website to take off.

Uplifting Athletes Non-Profit to Host Third Annual Young Investigator Draft Presented by CSL Behring on Saturday, March 7, 2020 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia
[ad_1]
An Event Celebrating the Next Generation of All-Star Researchers Who Are Working on Breakthrough Treatments and Cures for Rare Diseases

PHILADELPHIA, February 27, 2020 (Newswire.com)
–
Uplifting Athletes, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit organization that inspires the Rare Disease Community with hope through the power of sport, announced plans today for the third annual Young Investigator Draft, presented by CSL Behring, taking place on Saturday, March 7, 2020 at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL).The football theme of the Young Investigator Draft is inspired by the NFL Draft. Instead of drafting emerging young football talent, this unique draft turns the spotlight on the next generation of promising young medical researchers who are “drafted” and awarded research grants by Uplifting Athletes in order to help them pursue new treatments and potential cures for many of the world’s rarest diseases.
“The Young Investigator Draft serves as a powerful celebration of research within the field of rare diseases, providing a platform to distribute research funding to up-and-coming young researchers and honoring our ‘Rare Disease Champion Team’,” says Rob Long, Executive Director of Uplifting Athletes. “We’re proud to have already awarded $180,000 in grants over the past two years alone and look forward to continued success. With every new year, we discover brilliant young researchers who help us learn more about these underserved diseases.”
“CSL Behring is proud to continue sponsoring this innovative program that supports emerging science and rare disease research,” added Kevin Kovaleski, Vice President, Global Commercial Development, Transplant, CSL Behring. “The Young Investigator Draft reinforces our promise to patients by empowering researchers to focus on the rare disease community.”
Uplifting Athletes and its annual Young Investigator Draft focus on rare diseases because they are often underserved and so diverse. Rare diseases are so prevalent that 1 in 10 Americans are affected by rare diseases. That’s a higher percentage than cancer and AIDS combined. Additionally, they transcend gender, race, age, sexual orientation and socioeconomic status. Unfortunately, due to the large variety and complexity of rare diseases, there is very little support for rare disease research, especially compared to funding for more common diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. Uplifting Athletes exists to close this significant funding gap.
Uplifting Athletes emphasis for the 2020 Young Investigator Draft is on building greater audience participation for the draft event on Saturday, March 7, 2020, as well as inviting more medical research-related corporate sponsorship and involvement in the event. By doing so, Uplifting Athletes believes it can help transform the way society views, engages with and supports the research that will benefit many future generations. If you are not able to attend the event in person, please tune into the live stream on our Facebook page at bit.ly/2020YID at 7 p.m. EST.
ABOUT UPLIFTING ATHLETES
Founded in 2007, Uplifting Athletes fulfills its mission to inspire the Rare Disease Community with hope through the power of sport with a powerful network of over 20 college football student-athlete led chapters, Uplifting Ambassadors and Team UA participants.
Since its inception, Uplifting Athletes has raised more than $5 million to support the mission of Uplifting Athletes and its charitable programs: Rare Disease Awareness, Rare Disease Research, Uplifting Experiences and Uplifting Leaders. To learn more, please visit upliftingathletes.org

College of DuPage Becomes First NJCAA Program to Adopt PlaySight’s Smart Sports AI Technology
[ad_1]
Press Release

updated: May 20, 2019
GLEN ELLYN, ILLINOIS, May 20, 2019 (Newswire.com)
–
Today, the College of DuPage and PlaySight are excited to announce a new technology partnership – PlaySight’s SmartCourt sports AI technology will be coming to the Chaparrals coaches and student-athletes. The Chaparrals will have access to live streaming and automated production technology, as well as video and performance analysis tools. PlaySight officially partnered with the NJCAA in November of last year, and College of DuPage is the first member-school to adopt the technology for its athletic department.Top athletes and teams across the sporting world have been training and playing with PlaySight for several years now, including the NBA’s Golden State Warriors, Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons, several leading NCAA basketball programs, including the University of North Carolina and Wake Forest University, and over 70 other NCAA programs across tennis and other varsity sports. PlaySight also works with leading high schools, prep schools and academies throughout the country and around the world.
PlaySight was the first company to develop advanced artificial intelligence (AI) software for sports that has enabled a pro-level platform to be brought to all levels of athletics. PlaySight makes courts, gyms, fields and rinks ‘Smart’ by installing its software and connected camera technology. Once set up, SmartCourts provide several benefits to athletes, coaches, teams and fans, from automated HD broadcast live streaming and advanced coaching tools to instant replay video, VAR, and a content platform to store, manage and share video quickly and seamlessly.
Greg McVey, the director of Athletics and Recreational Programs at College of DuPage expects PlaySight to help his program engage with both its student-athletes and community in new ways. “Technology allows athletic departments to reach out in new and creative ways all of the time. By partnering with PlaySight and its Smart technology and becoming its first community college client, this will enhance College of DuPage and its student-athletes and programs in ways that we haven’t achieved before. We’re excited about delivering our message to our athletes and community with this new platform.”
“As a company, we are focused on bringing technology to all teams and levels, and that is why we were so excited last year to officially partner with the NJCAA,” said PlaySight Director Erik Gormley. “DuPage has established itself as a sports technology leader within the community college level and we’re excited to see the impact that our Smart platform will have on the school, alumni, community, coaches and athletes. We’re leveling the playing field with our affordable platform and our goal is to give every team the same experience with our video technology.”
Both PlaySight and the NJCAA expect DuPage to be the first of many community colleges to add this technology heading into next season. “It is exciting to see the innovative technology from PlaySight starting to grow with our member colleges,” said Brian Luckett, Chief External Affairs and Development Officer of the NJCAA. “The autonomous video production and SmartCourt technology has a significant impact for NJCAA programs when they are expected to do more with less. This technology helps to do just that.”

ATF: The Struggle Towards College Starts for Some People Before They’re Even Enrolled in School
[ad_1]
ROHNERT PARK, Calif., November 20, 2018 (Newswire.com)
–
Gearing up for college doesn’t just begin in high school for a lot of people. Sometimes it begins before they’re even born. Parents saving up for college may begin as soon as they hear they’re expecting, especially if they have multiple children they hope will attend college. Even with years of saving, and years of extracurricular activities to try and spruce up a college application in hopes of scholarships, individuals still often struggle to afford college. Ameritech Financial, a document preparation service company, says that even with extra activities early on, many college hopefuls will have a hard time affording a higher education.Continual sports games mixed with never-ending practices, music lessons, volunteer work, almost anything that can be added later on to a college application story and letter, wind up being a focal point of many children’s lives. Cramming in something to every possible moment fits in well with the narrative of the hardworking American, but children often don’t take well to the extreme stress of being overloaded like that. Some parents who have their children’s schedules filled up do understand that it’s extreme, but their driving need to help them succeed in life makes it difficult to stop.
Wanting the best for your kids is the sign of a good parent, and a lot of hard work goes into trying to get the best things for them.
Tom Knickerbocker, Executive Vice President of Ameritech Financial
All the work parents and children put in to be accepted into the top schools then comes with the price tag of an elite school. The majority of college attendees need financial assistance of some sort to attend, leading to the $1.5 trillion debt for student loans in America. Many of those student loan borrowers will struggle at one point or another with repayment. Ameritech Financial helps struggling student loan borrowers apply for federal income-driven repayment programs, which can potentially lower their monthly payments and get them on track for forgiveness after 20-25 years of being in the program. “We believe student loan repayment shouldn’t have to be a struggle, that’s why we’re so committed to our clients and being a student loan advocate,” said Knickerbocker.
About Ameritech Financial
Ameritech Financial is a private company located in Rohnert Park, California. Ameritech Financial has already helped thousands of consumers with financial analysis and student loan document preparation to apply for federal student loan repayment programs offered through the Department of Education.
Each Ameritech Financial telephone representative has received the Certified Student Loan Professional certification through the International Association of Professional Debt Arbitrators (IAPDA).
Ameritech Financial prides itself on its exceptional customer service.

Her friends think she is crazy but Erica is determined (even if a little nervous) and decides she is going to swim from Europe to Africa no matter what. But when she gets to Spain, her plans are interrupted by the winds and another group of swimmers, who befriend her and ask her to swim with them. But ultimately, she and the other swimmers are all set to swim. They reach their goal to swim from Europe to Africa but not without a lot of activity during the swim!
Erica has written an incredible story for children of all ages (and adults!)…it’s a story of inspiration and perseverance and proves that you can accomplish your dreams if you only believe in yourself and be dedicated to your goals. As a fellow swimmer I was touched by this heart warming story.
