Celebrate Me Registry Launches, Encourages Women to ‘Claim All of Their Cake Days.’

Celebrate Me Registry Hero Logo

CHICAGO – August 18, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Celebrate Me Registry launches the first totally customizable gift registry service; a site designed for women who want to celebrate the milestone moments in life that don’t fit into a traditional “box.” Celebrate Me Registry’s mission is to help all women feel valued, lauded, and special – while taking the guesswork out of gifting.

Now, users may create a completely free registry for any occasion they desire, no white dress or baby bump required. The Celebrate Me Registry platform was designed to share the excitement around landing that new promotion, getting a master’s degree, finishing chemo, or “just because.”

The concept came to Celebrate Me Registry founder Chrisondra Boyd while attempting to create a registry for her 40th birthday, which was canceled due to Covid. “I wanted to give my friends and family a way to celebrate this moment with me, but found it frustrating that there wasn’t an elegant or enticing platform available for more non-traditional occasions.”

Celebrants can take advantage of the easy-to-use site to compile the registry of their dreams. In addition to the website, a mobile app and Chrome extension are available to make adding gifts a breeze, from anywhere on the internet. And for those who are usually stumped when asked what they’d like to receive, the site features shoppable gift guides to remove the workload of choosing items.

“It’s time to rethink the registry and what we deem worthy of celebration,” said Chrisondra. “At Celebrate Me Registry, we believe it’s time to empower all women to ask for exactly what they want.”

About Celebrate Me Registry

Celebrate Me Registry is the first totally customizable registry service that lets you add gifts from across the internet for any occasion. Created by a woman, for women who deserve to be celebrated (which is, like, all of us).

New Gift Registry Concept Empowers Women to Celebrate Occasions Beyond a Wedding or Baby

Employees of Massachusetts-Based Cannabis Operator Create Road Race Team to Raise Funds and Awareness to Support Dana-Farber’s Mission to Defy Cancer

SOMERSET, Mass. – August 18, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Today, Solar Cannabis Co. (Solar) announced its “Team Green” runners participating in the 50th Falmouth Road Race raised a $13,500 donation to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (Dana-Farber), a world leader in adult and pediatric cancer treatment and research. 

In support of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, employees of Solar created “Team Green,” who will be participating in the 50th running of the historical Falmouth Road Race on Aug. 21, 2022. Team Green, which comprises 11 runners, banded together to create a first-of-its-kind, cannabis-industry race team and successfully helped raise a $13,500 donation to aid in Dana-Farber’s mission to defy cancer. Dana-Farber is renowned as one of the leading cancer treatment and research institutions in the Northeast and provides adults and children battling cancer the very best treatment available today while developing tomorrow’s cures through cutting-edge research. 

“We are so humbled and couldn’t be more grateful for the funds raised by Team Green runners and the donations we received from a mix of amazing friends, family, and partners,” said Derek Gould, Director of Marketing and Communications at Solar Cannabis Co.  

Solar’s employees conceptualized Team Green to not only generate funds and awareness for Dana-Farber’s mission, but also raise awareness of cannabis’ positive role in mitigating – or even removing – cancerous symptoms and side effects of various cancer treatments. All of Team Green’s fundraising will be donated to Dana-Farber’s “Unrestricted Funds” program for their patients. These funds cover any procedures or treatments or treatment aids that are not covered by traditional insurance and make a daily difference in the care, comfort, and life of each and every patient.

“There are so many people that have been directly impacted by cancer in one way or another,” said Gould. “To be able to deliver this donation to Dana-Farber and support their mission to defy cancer is truly a remarkable feat that we couldn’t have done alone.” 

In addition to the funds raised by Team Green runners, other support and donations included Solar Cannabis Co., Hub International, BayCoast Bank, Advance Manufacturing Co., Corporate Image Apparel, The American Legion, Last Prisoner Project, MassEON, and The South Coast LGBTQ+ Network. Following the 50th running of the Falmouth Road Race, Solar will be hosting a finish line after-party at the Falmouth Raw Bar, which will feature food, beverages, and more.

Based in Somerset, MA., Solar Cannabis Co. (Solar) is a 67,000-sq-ft. vertically-integrated cannabis operator that cultivates and produces recreational marijuana/marijuana-infused products.

With teachers and class participants located around the world, Lingoda’s online language courses take students on a virtual trip

Lingoda Spanish example class

MIAMI – August 17, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Lingoda, a leading online language school, is taking their language students on a virtual trip around the world. While three-quarters of Americans (75%) now say they feel comfortable traveling, domestic travel still remains a top choice for Americans as 59% of U.S. survey respondents are planning domestic-only trips for 2022. With COVID also not yet out of the picture, 39% of those not traveling say that the pandemic still factored into their decision to stay home. 

Fortunately, Lingoda, a leading online language school, offers a solution that can scratch any globetrotter’s travel itch, even if one is not yet ready to hop on a flight. When taking online language classes with native-level teachers and other group class participants who are based all around the globe, Lingoda’s mission to build bridges around the world through language learning comes into full effect. 

“Our teachers are based all around the world, which makes it possible for us to offer live language courses in all of our four languages 24/7,” says Philippa Wentzel, Curriculum Team Lead at Lingoda. “One class with Lingoda can take you around the world. You might be a student in California taking a language class, your class teacher might be in Ecuador and your fellow students could be in Tokyo, London and Berlin.”

The American Express 2022 Global Travel Trends Report also found that 81% of respondents stated they want to travel to destinations where they can immerse themselves in the local culture. And what better way to immerse oneself in a new culture than to learn a new language with people out of your comfort zone?

Additionally, Lingoda’s online language courses are centered around human interaction and maximum conversation time, which enables students to learn real-life language and cultural context. And to expose language students to a range of accents and speaking styles, Lingoda rotates teachers and students from more than 120 countries to build “language fluidity”.

And for next year’s travel season, language students will have all the skills available to immerse themselves in a new culture abroad. 

ABOUT LINGODA

Lingoda is one of the top online language schools. Founded in Berlin, Germany, in 2013, we provide convenient and accessible online language courses in German, English, Business English, French and Spanish to over 100,000 students worldwide. With almost 550,000 classes available per year and accessible 24/7, our mission is to build bridges around the world through language learning.
