Hunter L. Mason Foundation Announced by Family of Deceased Western Illinois University Football Player

The Hunter L. Mason Foundation, a nonprofit organization with the mission "to support and encourage personal and community development through sports, faith, and education, while bringing hope to those facing difficult times," today announced its launch.


The foundation was established during the summer of 2022 after Hunter’s brief but courageous battle with glioblastoma. Hunter was diagnosed in early April 2022, and within a few short weeks succumbed to the aggressive brain tumor on May 31, 2022. During his short but impactful life, Hunter inspired those close to him and those who just knew of him to live, learn, and play with humility and commitment. The foundation strives to continue Hunter’s inspiring legacy by providing opportunities for others to "#LiveLikeHunter."

Hunter’s impact on others knew no limit, as he inspired children and adults alike and impressed everyone who worked with or around him. “In 22 years, Hunter made a profound impact on the lives of many, more than most do in a full lifetime," said his former Western Illinois University coach, Jared Elliott. "He poured everything he had into everything he did.”

The Hunter L. Mason Foundation has worked to quickly make a local impact by donating to the Hunter Mason Courage Award and Scholarship at Western Illinois, donating to student-athletes in his hometown school district through the Nevada R-5 Hunter L. Mason Scholarship Fund, and donating to the Nevada Tigers All-Sports Booster Club. Plus, members of the foundation spent a week in October performing random acts of kindness in honor of Hunter’s birthday.


The foundation's goal for 2023 is to continue to grow and increase awareness, as well as to continue fundraising through ongoing initiatives and yearly events. That includes the Mason’s Masters Charity Golf Tournament scheduled for June 3, 2023, in Nevada, Missouri.

Averill House Vineyard Announces Vine to Wine Igloo & Gazebo Experience

Averill House Vineyard, a family-owned winery located in the heart of the Historic Ice District of Brookline, New Hampshire, today announced the launch of their special packages for the New Year and Valentine's Day, allowing guests to reserve igloos or gazebos.

Private vineyard-themed igloos and gazebos are the ideal way to enjoy classic and unique New Hampshire wines in the great outdoors. Averill House's desire for unique experiences cultivated these events, which are perfect for a romantic escape or group setting. Each Scandinavian-influenced design cozily welcomes guests, while the transparent igloo and gazebo introduce the rural vineyard setting under New Hampshire's open skies and swaying pine trees, comfortably tucked away from the elements.


Weather enhances the experience as the snow or rain falls, cascading around guests. As they experience the soft sound of a snowflake or the thrum of raindrops in the comfort of the igloo or gazebo, many guests hope for snow or rain for an exemplary sensory experience. For those who prefer the soft sounds of music, a Bluetooth speaker is available at no additional charge.


The igloos are decorated and furnished for up to eight adults and the gazebos are furnished like an outdoor living room, perfect for couples, families, and large groups. Gazebos are child-and-pet-friendly and offer a fire table. Igloos are child-friendly (no pets) and provide a Dyson Hepa Heater and fan for interior comfort.


Wine lovers, families, and their friends are invited to enjoy and explore the winery, vines, and tasting room through the igloo and gazebo experience. Whether it be one of its wines, wine slushies, wine ice cream, or warm mulled wine, Averill House Vineyard is absolutely certain that each guest is a taste away from finding their next New England favorite. It also offers a modified experience for teens, children, and those who do not drink alcohol.

Velvet Taco Celebrates the Holidays with Merry Resistmas Marketing Campaign

Start a new holiday tradition, Velvet Taco-style with catering, gift cards, 12 Days of Tacos giveaway, and holiday-inspired tacos.

Velvet Taco announces the company’s holiday campaign, Merry Resistmas, encouraging guests to resist the ordinary holiday traditions and fare with the brand’s iconic neon catering taco box, gift cards, and the Weekly Taco Feature—or what the brand calls the WTF—the Fa-La-La Brisket Feast.

Merry Resistmas

Founded on the idea that tacos don’t have to be associated with Tex-Mex cuisine and can be made with the same care and quality ingredients as fine dining, Velvet Taco invites guests this holiday season to resist settling for typical holiday celebrations and instead to "Resist the Ordinary". With this campaign, the brand is recreating the electric, vibrant dine-in environment through brand experiences that incorporate the same iconic Velvet Taco tastes and smells, but this time it can all happen outside the four walls of Velvet Taco.

Clay Dover, the company's CEO and chief taco-maker, said, “When the holidays roll around, most of us are accustomed to the same traditions, but this year we wanted it to be different. This holiday season, we’re celebrating the best way we know how: through tacos and providing experiences that are as memorable as they are delicious. That is no exception when our guests bring Velvet Taco to their home. Our team members are excited to share our coined ‘Resist the Ordinary’ spirit with our guests.”

Velvet Taco Catering

This holiday season, let Velvet Taco cater your celebrations. With Velvet Taco’s boozy libations and scratch-made, out of the ordinary options, any and every fan will find something they’ll love. Not only are their taco options creative and extensive, they are also uniquely packaged in a vibrant catering taco box fit for any occasion. Choose from taco box sizes ranging from 12 tacos all the way up to 48 tacos to individually packed lunch boxes. And don’t forget about the red velvet cake—perfect for ending any event on a sweet note.

Give the Gift of Tacos

Guests of all ages can give the gift of Velvet Taco this holiday season through eGift or physical gift cards. Not only do the custom pink and green Velvet Taco gift cards stand out among the crowd with their vibrant colorway and design, they also make it convenient to gift tacos to loved ones near and far.

12 Days of Taco Countdown

It wouldn’t be a Velvet Taco Holiday without a giveaway. Velvet Taco’s 12 Days of Tacos will highlight different tacos and user generated content throughout the series with giveaways every other day, resulting in six chances to receive an exclusive giveaway. Prizes include, but are not limited to, Velvet Taco merchandise such as beanies, hoodies, totes, or Velvet Taco catered meals. Fans can check out Velvet Taco’s Instagram account to enter the giveaway starting December 8, 2022. (Instagram: @velvettaco; TikTok: @velvettacoofficial). (Note that fans must be a member of The Velvet Room to be eligible for prizes.)

WTF: Fa-La-La Brisket Feast

To top off the holiday celebration, Velvet Taco presents their special edition, brand-new WTF, Fa-La-La Brisket Feast. This taco features slow-roasted angus brisket, cheesy hash brown casserole, roasted carrots, beef gravy, crispy fried onions, and fried sage on a flour tortilla ($5.95). The Fa-La-La Brisket Feast will be available December 21–27, 2022 at all Velvet Taco locations excluding food halls. The Weekly Taco Feature is one of the brand’s most sought after taco, because of its uniqueness and limited time availability as it rotates 52 times a year using seasonal and trending ingredients.

Velvet Taco’s Merry Resistmas will run now through December 31, 2022.

About Velvet Taco

Founded in 2011, the Dallas, Texas-based restaurant brand set out to elevate the taco through globally inspired recipes and the freshest ingredients. The acclaimed restaurant provides a broad sampling of international tastes and inventive combinations, delivering flavors that are as memorable as they are delicious. In addition to dozens of local and national accolades, Velvet Taco was awarded "Hot Concept" by Nation’s Restaurant News in 2016 and its Weekly Taco Feature won the Nation’s Restaurant News MenuMasters Award for the category of Best Limited Time Offer in 2020. In 2022, Blackbox Intelligence named Velvet Taco as a top-performing restaurant in several categories including food and intent to return. Velvet Taco has over 30 locations in Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, Illinois, Tennessee, and Oklahoma.

Shirley Chisholm Education Foundation Announces Inaugural Spirit of Shirley Chisholm Awards Ceremony

The Shirley Chisholm Education Foundation, an organization dedicated to creating changemakers by providing self-development and virtual mentorship experiences for women, by women, today announced the inaugural Spirit of Shirley Chisholm Awards ceremony to celebrate women mentoring women in the digital age. The foundation invites individuals from around the United States and abroad to join us this November to highlight individuals who have been carrying the torch of mentorship by emulating the spirit of Shirley Chisholm.

The event will be hosted via Zoom on November 30, 2022, at 11:30 a.m. EST, and aims to create awareness about the tremendous contribution Shirley Chisholm played in building our future while celebrating women who are mentoring women in the digital age.

The inaugural honorees for the Spirit of Shirley Chisholm Awards include Barbadian Humanitarian and Philanthropist Rivka Pastreich; author Alicia D. Williams; the youngest African American accepted to Medical School, and Founder of Brown STEM Girls, Alena McQuarter; Psychologist and Assistant Professor Dr. Raquel Martin; CEO and Founder of Resilia, and Nobel Prize recipient Sevetri Wilson.

“We are excited about the unveiling of our online store, SHOP UNBOSSED (www.shopunbossed.com),” said Simone Walker, SCEF’s founder. “The Congresswoman was a style icon of her time and has been selling confidence since 1972. When a woman makes a purchase at SHOP UNBOSSED, she is buying wearable affirmations.”

The Shirley Chisholm Education Foundation will welcome influential speakers and leaders to their virtual stage, including celebrity event host, and producer LaCora Stephens; Harvard Professor Dr. Donna Hicks; venture capitalist Dr. Robert Walker; Barbadian historian and Genealogist Dr. Frederick Alleyne; TEDx Speaker and CEO of Iconic Persona Cheryl Pullins; CEO of Performance Strategies Ltd Dr. Lee Innocenti; CEO of Scholarship Solutions Dr. Rhea Watson; and Vice President of Novo Nordisk Negelle Morris.

“I am thrilled about our speaker lineup, in particular, the keynote address by Harvard professor, Dr. Donna Hicks who has worked with Desmond Tutu on international conflict issues,” said Simone Walker. “Dignity is not a word that we hear as often as we should. Dr. Hicks will be discussing the importance of developing a dignity culture in the digital space. Exploring this discussion is near and dear to my heart and is pertinent to this era, as research shows that long-term use of social media in women and girls is associated with low self-esteem, which in turn affects their life satisfaction.”

For more information on the Shirley Chisholm Education Foundation and the inaugural Spirit of Shirley Chisholm Awards Ceremony, visit www.unbought.org.

About Shirley Chisholm Education Foundation

Shirley Chisholm Education Foundation serves to create changemakers by providing self-development and virtual mentorship experiences for women, by women. Because Shirley Chisholm led a life of mentorship, the Shirley Chisholm Education Foundation is committed to continuing her legacy by providing coaching, knowledge, and tools to help young women not only build their future, but also build tables where they can offer seats to other women.

TASTE of Success Coaching Founder Larry A. Jones Receives Lifetime Achievement Award

TASTE of Success Coaching, founded by ADHD and life coach Larry A. Jones, MD, MBA, AACC, today announced that Jones received the Lifetime Achievement Award from Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD) at the Annual International Conference on ADHD, November 17–19, 2022 in Dallas, Texas. The largest ADHD conference in the world, the Annual International Conference on ADHD was a joint conference by CHADD, ADHD Coaching Organization (ACO), and Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA).


Dr. Jones has been regarded as the first African American of noted authority to talk about ADHD in minority communities. He was honored for his tremendous impact on raising such awareness. “The stereotypes of ADHD have been particularly daunting for children of color in public and private educational spaces, requiring the constant diligence of parents to prevent inappropriate treatment and mislabeling,” he said.


The award recipient and his wife, Audrey, co-authored Falling Through the Ceiling: Our ADHD Family Memoir, chronicling the journey of their three sons with ADHD from childhood to adulthood. Their lived experiences and the lessons learned contribute toward increased awareness of the condition.


Dr. Jones also has a coaching service, TASTE of Success Coaching. His team renders support and guidance to individuals and families confronting barriers to success in education, career, and life caused by ADHD. The mission of TASTE is “to turn ADHD from stigma to stability.”

Kneaders Bakery & Cafe Shares Success of Revamped Loyalty Program in Partnership with Thanx

As other loyalty re-launches like Dunkin’ vex customers, Kneaders boasts growth of enrollment, online sales, and points redemption.

Kneaders, the Utah-based, award-winning, fast-casual bakery and cafe chain, announced today the results of its revamped loyalty program in partnership with Thanx, the leading loyalty and guest engagement platform. The re-launch of Kneaders' loyalty program allows the brand to leverage the entire suite of enhanced platform capabilities now available with the release of Thanx’s new loyalty 3.0 engine.

Customer response to the new program has been overwhelmingly positive, with a 50% increase in average weekly enrollment, a six-figure month-over-month online sales growth, and over 3 million points already redeemed by customers.

The new program gives guests the flexibility to redeem points for over thirty different rewards items directly within the brand’s digital rewards marketplace. Just for signing up for the relaunched program, members earn a free chocolate mousse dome pastry. The large variety of rewards available to members within the rewards marketplace levels up the loyalty experience, giving guests the option to choose more relevant perks or menu items based on their preferences. For example, program members can redeem points for pastries, salads, and sandwiches, while guests who reach the “Gold” and “Platinum” tiers earn $1 select drinks all day.

Kneaders customers can reach three different program tiers—including gold and platinum—that offer access to exclusive menus with secret menu items and perks at the highest tiers. Kneaders plans to regularly update their rewards and top-tier offerings to drive excitement and keep guests regularly engaging with the program. Kneaders was careful to retain fan-favorite elements of their prior program, including a free pastry automatically awarded to loyalty members on their birthday.

Changes in loyalty programs have been highly contested as of late, most notably with the viral customer backlash to Dunkin’ Donuts’ loyalty program for the brand’s sudden devaluation of points. Kneaders’ credits the successful relaunch of their program to the flexibility and ease-of-use of Thanx’s loyalty platform. With Thanx, the brand has been able to introduce a variety of both discount and non-discount rewards to protect profit margins while still delivering a highly engaging program to customers.

With Thanx’s loyalty engine, brands like Kneaders can change rewards and adjust points values directly in the digital marketplace in response to market shifts. This ability to iterate avoids abrupt overhauls of their program, which can catch consumers off guard as was the case for Dunkin’ Donuts customers.

“We have a strong loyalty base at Kneaders Bakery & Cafe, and this program re-launch was designed to delight them with a generous rewards base and custom rewards throughout the year," said Bailey Scoville, Kneaders’ VP of Strategy, on the success of the new program. "The Thanx team was a resource to us every step of the way, from analyzing customer feedback and consulting on program design to ensuring a seamless transition on launch day. We saw an almost immediate spike in membership and point redemptions following the re-launch. We are thrilled our loyal customers are enjoying the new program, which wouldn't be possible without our partnership with Thanx.”

To enroll or learn more about Kneaders’ loyalty program, visit kneaders.com or download their app in the app store for iOS or Android.

GR0 Adds Affiliate Marketing to Its Impressive List of Marketing Strategies

GR0, a Los Angeles-based SEO agency, has experienced unprecedented growth since its inception in 2020. In an effort to continue its growth in the advertising and marketing world, it has now expanded its marketing department to include affiliate marketing. The marketing experts at GR0 recognize that affiliate marketing works best when it operates alongside other marketing channels like SEO, which is GR0’s primary marketing strategy. Jasbir Nijor will be heading the new affiliate marketing department and has this to say about his new position:


“We aim to be an extension of the existing marketing team at GR0 as affiliate marketing is the perfect complement to SEO. The two work alongside each other to create a sophisticated partnership where lifestyle marketing is paired with advanced tracking to create a unique revenue stream. I believe that the addition of our services will help take the already successful marketing department to new heights.”


Nijor started his career at Pepperjam before it was acquired by Partnerize—a major affiliate network. He spent 2021 working at OAK Digital, contributing to efforts that directly led to their acquisition by Gen3 Marketing at the start of 2022. Now, he has moved over to head the new affiliate marketing department at GR0. With Jasbir at the helm, the affiliate marketing services will further differentiate GR0 from its competitors.
