Uno Pizzeria and Grill Initiates Fundraiser for Maui Relief Effort

UNO Pizzeria & Grill

Restaurant chain Uno Pizzeria and Grill, known as the birthplace of Deep Dish pizza, has launched a fundraiser that will benefit the Maui Strong fund. The pizza pioneer has collaborated with Anheuser Busch brand Kona Brewing to make a donation to the cause with a purchase of Kona Big Wave Golden Ale from Sept. 11th through 17th. An in-restaurant purchase of a Kona Big Wave during that period will trigger a 20% donation of the total guest check going to this fundraiser. The program will be run through most of the company’s 70 locations, which are a combination of franchise and company-owned restaurants. The Support for Maui fundraiser, known at Unos as a ‘DoughRaiser’, is an effort that is near and dear to Uno’s CEO Erik Frederick. Frederick was stationed on Pearl Harbor during his time serving in the United States Navy. “The Aloha Spirit becomes part of anyone who lives in Hawaii and leaves an indelible mark on their life and soul. I even met my wife in Hawaii, so it has always been a meaningful part of my life”. Frederick continued “Upon hearing of the tragic wildfires in Maui, I felt very strongly that we as a brand could contribute to the fundraising efforts as the recovery process will last for many years. We found a real partner in Anheuser Busch and their brand Kona Brewing whose roots are in Hawaii. It was just a natural partnership and quite frankly the right thing to do.” “This DoughRaiser allows guests of Uno Pizzeria and Grill to contribute in their own small way” stated Uno’s Director of Marketing, Chris Dellamarggio. “People always want to support when there are worthy causes, but may not know how get involved. Allowing them to contribute as part of their everyday activities gives them an easy way to give to the cause. When those contributions are pooled together across a brand like Uno’s, they can add up to a large donation.” The Maui Strong Fund is a new fund that has been set up by the well-regarded Hawai’i Community Foundation that works to get funds directly to organizations that need funding no matter their size as part of their regular every day mission. The Maui Strong Fund has been set up get immediate relief to multiple organizations that need the funds to take action now. Information about the foundation and the Maui Strong Fund can be found at hawaiicommunityfoundation.org.

Twang Teams Up with Spencer Boyd for the 2023 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Season

Twang Partners LLC

Twang, creators of the original Beer Salt and premium flavored salt, sugar and spice blends, is proud to announce its sponsorship of Spencer Boyd for the 2023 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season with upcoming races in Kansas City, Bristol, Talladega, Miami and Phoenix. The partnership marks an exciting collaboration that resonates with the spirit of competition, innovation, and celebration that both Twang and NASCAR embody. Throughout the 2023 season, Twang's iconic logo will adorn Spencer Boyd's truck, prominently displayed in five exhilarating races. On September 14th for the race at Bristol Motor Speedway, Twang will take center stage with a fully wrapped Beer Salt branded truck! For the remaining four races, Twang’s logo will proudly find its place alongside other sponsors on the vehicle. "We're revving up for an electrifying partnership with Spencer in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Season," said Edmundo Macias, Director of Marketing of Twang. "Just like the fast-paced action on the track, Twang's flavorful offerings bring joy and excitement to food and drink enthusiasts nationwide. This collaboration perfectly aligns with our upcoming expansion into 3,500 Walmart stores across the country with our Lime & Lemon-Lime Beer Salt, and we're eager to amplify our presence in the hearts of NASCAR fans." Twang's partnership with Spencer Boyd goes beyond the racetrack. As part of this dynamic alliance, Twang will also engage fans through unique experiences and giveaways. Fans will have the opportunity to sample Twang’s wide array of products, adding a dash of flavor to their NASCAR experience. Additionally, Twang will take part in e-blast giveaways, offering fans the chance to win exclusive prizes and immerse themselves in a world of flavor with Twang. Spencer Boyd's journey in NASCAR is a testament to his determination and passion. With a racing background that started on dirt bikes and evolved through go-karts and short-track venues, Boyd has consistently demonstrated his prowess on the racetrack. His dedication to excellence aligns perfectly with Twang's commitment to delivering premium products that elevate eating and drinking experiences. As Twang continues to celebrate its rich heritage and legacy, this partnership marks a thrilling chapter in the brand's story. From its humble beginnings in a garage to becoming a nationwide sensation, Twang's journey mirrors the resilience and spirit of both Spencer and NASCAR. In 1986, Twang Founder Roger Treviño Sr. left his career after experiencing an epiphany while on a business trip in Mexico. Visiting a Mexican street vendor selling citrus salt, he was reminded of his childhood in San Antonio, with its abundance of Latino flavors. He returned home inspired to create a variety of flavored salts to share with friends and family. Launching the Twang business out of his family garage and together with the Treviño children to help, his first product (and claim to fame) was Twang Beer Salt, an integral product in the Southern trend of “dressing” beers and other libations. From these humble beginnings, the Treviños have since expanded Twang product lines into flavored salt for food, cocktail rimmer blends, michelada mix, and more to come!

10 Reasons You May Want To Have Mainz Biomed (NASDAQ: MYNZ) On Your Radar

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga The WHO reports that colorectal cancer is the second most fatal cancer around the world. However, it is also the most preventable, with early detection leading to survival rates above 90%. Alarming statistics reveal that new cases of colorectal cancer in individuals under the age of 50 have been steadily rising over the past few decades. Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death for Americans between the ages of 20 and 59 years old according to the National Cancer Institute. However, younger adults are not routinely screened for colorectal cancer as it is still relatively uncommon in their age group. Mainz Biomed (NASDAQ: MYNZ), a company that specializes in developing molecular genetic diagnostic solutions for life-threatening conditions, has created ColoAlert, an innovative product that addresses the need for easier and more accessible cancer screenings for quick detection and treatment of colorectal cancer. This non-invasive and user-friendly test aims to make colorectal cancer screening fast, simple and precise. The company seems to be gaining momentum in the industry, and here are 10 reasons you may want to keep your eye on them. Flagship Product For Early Detection Mainz Biomed has developed a flagship product, ColoAlert, which has the potential to establish the company as a frontrunner in the early detection of colorectal cancer. By providing a highly sensitive and accurate screening tool, ColoAlert has the capacity to revolutionize the way colorectal cancer is detected and treated. The test is the first DNA-based screening test for colorectal cancer in Europe, which sees the highest incidence rate for colorectal cancer. Tapping into A Multi-Billion Dollar Market While this innovative screening tool will be useful to young people who don’t get regular screenings, is not limited to younger ages. In fact, ColoAlert may have an annual market opportunity of around $3.7 Billion in the U.S. for testing populations aged 50 and above every three years, as recommended by the FDA. ColoAlert's unique genetic profiles allow for tailored treatment for each individual patient, leading to better health outcomes for patients with colorectal cancer. This revolutionary product is a major stride in combating colorectal cancer and has the potential to save countless lives. As GenX individuals age into their 40s and 50s, they become part of the age group recommended for colorectal cancer screening. This demographic shift presents a significant market opportunity as the demand for screening and related services continues to rise. Experienced Leadership Team Mainz Biomed has successfully attracted former executives from major pharmaceutical giants to its leadership team. CEO Guido Baechler, a former Roche Molecular Diagnostics executive, brings invaluable expertise to the company's strategic development. Additionally, Chief Commercial Officer Darin Leigh's extensive executive commercial experience across leading life science and healthcare firms further strengthens the company’s leadership. Positive Feedback And Upcoming Studies Mainz Biomed has already received encouraging feedback for its lead product, ColoAlert. This feedback serves as an endorsement of the product's effectiveness and potential impact on early detection. Furthermore, the company expects upcoming study data to validate the clinical benefits and efficacy of ColoAlert, further bolstering its role as an essential tool in colorectal cancer screening. Detecting Precancerous Conditions The company's focus on detecting advanced adenoma represents a significant stride in identifying colorectal cancer at a precancerous stage. By identifying and removing these precursors during screening, Mainz Biomed helps prevent the progression of the disease and reduces the risk of developing colorectal cancer. This early intervention can have a profound impact on patient outcomes and survival rates. Strong Price Target Analysts have set an $11 price target for MYNZ, reflecting the positive sentiment surrounding the company's growth potential. This price target implies confidence in Mainz Biomed’s ability to capture a significant share of the market and generate value for investors. The company has seen significant revenue growth in 2023 -- the revenues generated by ColoAlert in the first half of 2023 surged by 108% when compared to the same period in 2022 as the company expanded international commercialization for ColoAlert and entered new markets in Europe. This remarkable growth further solidifies Mainz Biomed's position in the industry and showcases its ability to develop groundbreaking products that meet the needs of healthcare professionals and patients alike. Flagship Product Competes With Large Players Mainz Biomed's ColoAlert competes with Cologuard from Exact Sciences Corporation (NASDAQ: EXAS), a well-established company that commands a market cap of over $10 billion. It’s clear that even in the earlier stages, Mainz Biomed is shaping up to be a formidable player in the field of early detection for colorectal cancer. Expanding International Presence The company is actively pursuing international commercial activities to introduce ColoAlert to a global market. By expanding its reach, it aims to increase accessibility to its innovative screening product, ensuring early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer on a global scale. Strong Financial Position The company also boasts of a stable financial position due to ample cash reserves, enabling the company to fund ongoing operations and drive growth initiatives effectively. In June, the company secured up to $50 million in new funding. This financial strength provides Mainz Biomed with the stability and resources necessary to invest in research and development, expand its portfolio and bring innovative products to market. Strategic Partnership For Novel Biomarkers The company has established a strategic partnership with Microba Life Sciences to explore the discovery and integration of novel microbiome biomarkers into its pipeline asset, PancAlert. By leveraging Microba's expertise, the company aims to develop PancAlert into a potential first-in-class screening test for pancreatic cancer, addressing a critical need for early detection of this challenging disease. The Future For Mainz Biomed And Cancer Diagnostics Mainz Biomed is on a mission to become a leading global provider of easy-to-use diagnostic solutions for patients and healthcare providers everywhere. The company heads into the second half of 2023 confident of future growth as ColoAlert gains more traction in Europe and select international markets. The company also has a busy pipeline. It is ramping up enrollment planning for ReconAAsense – the company’s U.S. pivotal study for its flagship product – and executing clinical trials evaluating a portfolio of proprietary novel gene expression (mRNA) biomarkers for potential inclusion into ReconAAsense. Through its partnership with Microba Life Sciences, Mainz is also advancing PancAlert, its next-generation pancreatic cancer detection test. Interested investors may want to watch out for data from the company’s two feasibility studies. With a combination of innovative products, experienced leadership, an active pipeline and strategic collaborations, Mainz Biomed seems well-positioned to make a significant impact on the early detection of colorectal and potentially other markets like pancreatic cancers. Their commitment to pushing the boundaries of diagnostic technology and growth trajectory seems to be making them a force to be reckoned with in the industry, setting them apart from their competitors.

Technology Touchdown: The Denver Broncos Score Big with Comcast Business

Comcast Colorado

Comcast Business today announced that it is providing the Denver Broncos with a suite of network solutions to help the sports franchise run its operations smoothly – whether it’s a game day or a training day – as well as keep fans connected to their favorite technology-enabled applications when they attend a game at Empower Field at Mile High. Whether it’s managing the plethora of merchandise sales, replaying nail-biting tackles on stadium screens, or asking Miles, the Broncos’ virtual assistant, a question during a game, employees and guests alike can expect reliable experiences backed by Comcast Business. Technology continues to revolutionize the sports industry, transforming experiences for fans and the operations of teams like the Broncos. Fans now expect real-time viewing experiences – regardless of whether they’re in the stadium or watching at home – and are actively participating in gamedays through social media engagement and personalized streaming services. On the backend, technology has ushered in new revenue streams for sports organizations through e-commerce platforms and digital ticketing and point-of-sale applications, and has made it easier to analyze players’ performances during training or game days. All these technology-driven offerings require a strong and reliable network backbone to make them a reality. Solutions provided by Comcast Business include SIP Trunking, between Empower Field at Mile High and the Centura Health Training Center. Additionally, Comcast Business is providing two 10 gig ethernet circuits and Comcast Business Hospitality HD Video for thousands of screens at Empower Field at Mile High. “When it comes to football, players and fans alike know that every second counts, and the same holds true for the technology within sports facilities – if it isn’t fast and reliable, fans and athletes could miss out on exciting experiences,” said Robert Thompson, vice president of business services for Comcast’s Mountain West Region. “We are proud to support the Broncos with technology solutions that not only assist the team’s employees as they work hard to bring these experiences to the Denver community, but that keep fans connected and engaged with the Broncos.” Comcast Business is the Broncos’ main internet provider for employees, players, staff, and media that attend game days. In addition to supporting stadium operations, the 10 gig circuits power the Broncos TV studio to quickly capture and create real-time content – like player interviews, commentator segments, or fan giveaways within the stadium – then broadcast it on TV screens across Empower Field at Mile High. SIP trunking provides reliable phone lines. The strong network backbone created by the combination of these solutions ultimately contributes to a more connected and convenient game day experience for fans, as well as fast, reliable back-end operations for staff. Between 2008 and today, the Broncos have seen its network of connectivity solutions and devices grow exponentially, going from roughly 400 devices supported on its network to 8,000. Despite this growth, the organization’s goal has remained the same – to deliver an uninterrupted technology experience for fans and Broncos staff. By partnering with Comcast Business, the Broncos ensured that its network was flexible, and capable of handling future growth as the sporting industry continues to evolve. “We need to make sure that our back-end network can provide it all, and Comcast Business has created a runway for us that helps ensure our daily operations will be successful,” said Russ Trainor, senior vice president of IT for the Broncos. “We trust Comcast Business to deliver the solutions and support we need every day, not just on game days. And, as we add more services to our existing network, we know Comcast Business will help us deliver them.” In the Denver area, Comcast Business also supports the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field with an enhanced network infrastructure and end-to-end network management solutions. Additionally, in December 2022, Comcast expanded its network throughout the Denver Metro Area, launching an additional multi-gig internet speed tier for Xfinity and Comcast Business customers. The upgrade is delivering download speeds up to two gigabits-per-second and up to 5x to 10x faster upload speeds to customers in select areas. About Comcast Business Comcast Business offers a broad suite of technology solutions to keep businesses of all sizes ready for what’s next. With a range of offerings including connectivity, secure networking, advanced cybersecurity, and unified communications solutions, Comcast Business is partnering with business and technology leaders across industries and integrating Masergy, a leader in software defined networking, to help drive businesses forward.

It not only provided privileges such as priority purchase and free reservation of sunrise sessions for "Tao Piao Piao" and "Damai" joint members under the industry's first "Movie + Performance" membership system called "Taomai VIP", but also offered "Seven Special Gifts" for "Taomai VIP" members, including 30-minute early entry for Black Diamond members, free customized drinks by redeeming Black Diamond member points, and free on-site photography. These privileges gave "Taomai VIP" users a unique sense of exclusivity. In addition, separate women's toilets were set up at the music festival venue, demonstrating a warm and considerate response to the needs of female attendees, which was praised by many female music fans. The Aranya Xiami Music Festival is not just a handful of music performances, nor a seaside trip, but more like an annual gathering of music fans, where everyone can realize multiple Another Life, experience an ideal life that integrates music, travel, and art, among others. It offers a sense of freedom and a carefree existence, like the wind.
