Lendio.com, making small business loans simple

Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) December 14, 2011

Lendio’s mission is to help small businesses get the capital they need. This holiday season, Lendio employees have expanded that mission to help three desperate families in the Salt Lake City area.

“We really wanted to help out the community this Christmas. With so many people struggling in this economy, we decided to bring it down to a real personal level,” said Brock Blake, Lendio CEO, which has been helping companies get business financing for the last six years. “We found three families that have had a really hard year, and hope to give them a great Christmas.”

Each Lendio employee pledged a certain amount of their personal money to help these families.

“I think we’re all excited to give something personal to these families,” said Diana Rees, director of accounting and human resources, who organized this project for Lendio. “Christmas is about giving, and this has become really great way for each of us to do that.”

“I think this helps each of our employees get into that Christmas spirit, and at the same time, brings our team together and enhances the culture of our company,” Blake said. “But most importantly, we’re excited to help a few families that need it.”

The families include:

     A single mother of two girls under 8 years old. The family was just kicked out of their apartment.

    A family of seven. The parents are both unemployed because of health reasons. The mother is currently pregnant and also needs brain surgery. The father is recovering from colitis and is looking for a job.

     A single mother with Chrone’s Disease who also has a mass on her kidney, which has rendered her disabled.

Lendio found those families through the organization, The Living Christmas, which connects “families with a little extra with families in need.” To do your own Sub-For-Santa, call Jayson Orvis at The Living Christmas at 801-652-1801.

Orvis gave Lendio three steps in helping families in need. They are:

1. Give them a call and talk about what their specific needs are. Make sure you cover clothing and shoe sizes. If you can, you go beyond their needs and start talking about what their kids might enjoy. Talk about how the parent’s would like to arrange delivery. Some like the kids to know who “Santa” is and others like to keep it a secret from the kids. Generally, I suggest that the parents do the gift wrapping.

2. Then, you shop for them, usually including wrapping paper and tape. WalMart is often a one-stop shopping experience. It’s incredibly cheap and you can do almost everything there. Get a gift receipt so they can take stuff back, but keep the main receipt so you can get a tax write off. Gift cards at Smiths are also excellent if the family is in need of food. WalMart gift cards are appreciated as well.

3. Set a day to do your delivery. We usually do it long before Christmas. Give them the gift receipt when you deliver.

Know Your Risk, Save a Life

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) February 17, 2012

Aviir, a biotechnology company specializing in cardiac risk assessment and Guard A Heart, a non-profit foundation dedicated to raising awareness about heart disease, announced they will be presenting the first Guardian of Hearts Award to Larry King in recognition of his contribution to saving lives through The Larry King Cardiac Foundation.

During the event, they will also honor Dr. Louis Ignarro, co-recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his research in the prevention of heart disease.

The awards will be presented at a private pre-Oscar party to be held at the Avalon Theater in Hollywood on February 25, 2012. This gathering will bring together foreign dignitaries, politicians, sports figures, prominent physicians and celebrities to honor the awardees. The celebration is being produced by Connected Gift Rooms a company that has planned entertainment events for more than a decade.

The exclusive gala marks the launch of Guard A Heart’s “Know Your Risk, Save A Life” campaign to raise awareness about the importance of effective risk assessment in the prevention of heart attacks. Doug Harrington, M.D., CEO of Aviir Heart Laboratories and Tom Quertermous, M.D., Director, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine (Research) at Stanford Cardiovascular Medicine, Falk CVRC and Philip S. Tsao, PhD Associate Professor of Medicine Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine, will present the award to Mr. King.

“It is our great pleasure to participate in this event honoring Larry King. He has literally saved thousands of lives through the work of his foundation, making critical treatment available for those without the means to afford it,” said Dr. Harrington. “We are also delighted to honor Dr. Louis Ignarro with the Distinguished Scientific Achievement Award for his influential work regarding heart health.” He added, that because of dedicated professionals like Dr. Ignarro, foundations such as Guard a Heart and The Larry King Cardiac foundation have a better chance at reducing the devastating impact of cardiovascular disease, which is currently the leading cause of death in the United States.

About Aviir

Aviir was founded in 2005 by cardiologists and scientists from the Stanford University School of Medicine to focus on discovery, development and commercialization of innovative diagnostic tests. The biotechnology company specializes in developing proprietary diagnostic tests that will assist in identifying patients that are truly at high risk for the development of a cardiac event. Aviir’s proprietary MIRisk and TruRisk assessments objectively identify, by a simple blood draw, individuals who are at a high risk of a cardiac event over the next five years. Aviir’s CLIA laboratory (Irvine, CA) complements these novel tests with a wide range of additional tests for risk assessment and therapeutic monitoring of cardiovascular disease and related metabolic disorders — including pharmacogenomic and genetic tests. The company has adopted a unique clinical laboratory service model to provide physicians better diagnostic tools that improve cardiovascular health of their patients. The company is privately owned and funded by leading life science venture capital firms. Please visit http://www.aviir.com for more information.

About Guard A Heart

Guard A Heart is a non-profit foundation dedicated to raising awareness of heart disease prevention by spreading the word to guard your heart and save your life. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. If individuals know their risk and take the necessary steps, the good news is that most cardiovascular disease is preventable. Although heart disease is typically diagnosed in adulthood, its roots are often found in childhood. Compelling research has shown that plaque buildup in the arterial walls begins very early in life and progresses through increasing degrees of atherosclerosis. Intervention strategies and healthy lifestyle changes to reduce heart disease risk should begin in childhood when reversal of the process is easier, not later in life when the disease is more fully developed. Guard a Heart Foundation provides funding for individuals who are unable to pay for cardiac risk assessments. Please visit http://www.guardaheart.org for more information.

About The Larry King Cardiac Foundation

The Larry King Cardiac Foundation (LKCF) was established in 1988 to provide funding for life-saving treatment for individuals who, due to limited means or no insurance, would otherwise be unable to receive the treatment and care they so desperately need. The Foundation works in conjunction with hospitals throughout the nation to ensure that such patients receive proper medical attention. Doctors performing these surgeries do so at no charge. Hospitals are compensated only for the materials used. Hearts are repaired. Families are given another chance. Lives are saved. The LKCF is a non-profit organization funded from the proceeds of Mr. King’s books, speaking engagements, and from entertainment galas conducted in New York City, Washington D.C. and Los Angeles. The LKCF is affiliated with eight premier Cardiac Centers: Children’s National Medical Center and George Washington University Medical Center in Washington, D.C., Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Los Angeles County + USC in Los Angeles, California, New York Presbyterian: The University Hospital of Columbia and Weill Cornell University Medical Center in New York, NY, St. Joseph’s Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, and The Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. LKCF also works in conjunction with Venice Family Clinic in Venice, California. Please visit http://www.lkcf.org for more information

Ball and Buck Made in USA Boston, MA

Boston, MA (PRWEB) December 14, 2011

For Boston’s award-winning Boston based retailer Ball and Buck, the sluggish economic climate has failed to dampen its rapid growth. Despite opening less than a year ago, the Made in USA menswear shop and its accompanying online store has reported an average monthly sales growth of 17.9% – a statistic that is projected to increase in the coming year.

Ball and Buck is the first of its kind – a retailer that prides itself in producing and selling clothing and accessories that are made exclusively in the USA. With over forty made in USA brands, including its own line of made in USA clothing and accessories, Ball and Buck enables customers to support American jobs by purchasing high quality clothing and accessories that come with a lifetime satisfaction guarantee.

Mark Bollman, Ball and Buck’s president and founder, believes the store’s immediate success has much to do with shoppers’ desires to reduce their consumption on cheap import products that need frequent replacing and instead purchase high quality, domestically-made products that last considerably longer and support American Jobs at the same time. For a small business such as Ball and Buck, the extraordinary reception of its proprietary product line is clearly indicative of the brand’s future growth potential.

“The Ball and Buck brand is built on the premise of conscious consumerism. By offering only high quality products, consumers own more durable goods, which results in less consumption and far less waste. What’s even better is that all our products actually get better with wear, which can’t be said for many things in the market today,” Bollman says.

From made in USA jeans to Ball and Buck’s own line of pocket tees to Caswell-Massey’s line of colognes worn by past presidents, the store’s 100% American-made clothing and other products are clearly grabbing customers’ attention – the boutique was named Boston’s number one menswear retailer by Boston.com in June.

About Ball and Buck:

Ball and Buck is a one of a kind all-American clothing brand and retailer – everything produced and sold in store and online is made exclusively in the USA. Through emphasizing the value of American quality over foreign quantity, Ball and Buck supports American jobs and provides its customers with pridefully crafted, high quality clothing and products with a lifetime satisfaction guarantee.

Trevella Park in Cornwall goes Glamping with tepees, safari and bell tents in 2012

(PRWEB UK) 14 February 2012

Award-winning Cornish campsite Trevella Park is the region’s first five-star holiday park to go glamping with the launch of new tepees, safari tents and bell tents this season.

Trevella Park’s glamping accommodation is the height of posh camping as the range is kitted out with comfy beds, duvets and real furniture and is pitched around a communal campfire. The safari tents have decking and dining furniture too.

Trevella Park’s new-style camping selection is the biggest collection of its type on the north Cornwall coast and the closest to Newquay and the famous Crantock Beach.

Barry Templeman, Trevella Park manager says: “It’s an exciting time to be a UK holiday destination because so many families are taking their main breaks in this country. Our new collection of glamping tents is going to be part of an unforgettable experience for parents and kids when they visit Cornwall.”

The glamping option is easily affordable for families with Trevella Park offering savings of 10% off all holidays booked before 29 February. For two adults and two children this means that:

a seven-night Easter stay in a bell tent from 7 April starts from only £202, saving £22
a Whitsun week seven-night break from 2 June in a safari tent starts from £354, saving £36
a summer holiday teepee stay from 11 August starts at only £418, saving £42

As well as being the first five-star park in Cornwall to launch a glamping range, Trevella is an award-winning touring park and has a range of holiday home options.

The independently run park is a great base for exploring the north Cornwall coast which includes Crantock Beach, cliff-top trails along the South West Coastal Path and the surf-town of Newquay.

Trevella has its own heated outdoor pool, adventure playground, large fishing lakes and nature trails, but steers away from kid’s clubs and discos.

Trevella Park has been awarded the GOLD David Bellamy Conservation Awards for 14 years running and has been named as one of ‘Britain’s Best Parks’ by the AA, ‘Top Site of the Year’ by Caravan Magazine, one of the ‘Top 100 Family Parks’ in Practical Caravan, won ‘Britain in Bloom’ in 2010 and ‘Newquay in Bloom’ on several occasions.

Notes to editors:

About Trevella Park:

Trevella Park is a five-star camping and caravan park on the north Cornwall coast, close to Crantock and Newquay. The park is open from 1 April to 31 October each year and has a mixture of mobile home, pre-erected tents and touring pitches, plus a small number of privately owned holiday homes.

The Great San Francisco Pillow Fight Pillow Fight is the kind of party that defines the Grp.E brand.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 10, 2012

Love—and feathers—will be in the air this Valentine’s Day when the flash-mob-style crowd that assembles every February 14 at Justin Herman Plaza in the Embarcadero starts swinging at exactly 6 o’clock. Grp.E is helping hardcore romantics wage war in style by giving 40% off jeans purchased online and at Bay Area stores now through February 15. The San Francisco party jeans company is also giving away jeans to a randomly selected man and woman who like Grp.E Jeans on Facebook.

Grp.E Jeans will photograph the Great San Francisco Pillow Fight crowd exchanging blows, hand out limited edition heart-shaped denim pendants that commemorate the occasion, and toss Grp.E t-shirts into the crowd. Although Grp.E isn’t a sponsor, the Pillow Fight is just the kind of party that defines the Grp.E brand.

San Francisco fashion designer Tommy Pham created Grp.E premium jeans with an emphasis on fit, finish, functionality and details. A range of fits from skinny to relaxed ensure these designer jeans accentuate the best features of every body type.

“There are so many features men and women love about Grp.E jeans, but what really closes the deal is Pham’s patented snap-button fly,” said Mignon Gould, founder of popular fashion blog The Chic Spy. “Like Levi’s original button fly, this unique snap-button fly is Grp.E’s pièce de résistance.”

Unlike the button fly, the “quicky” fly gets Grp.E jeans off fast. And unlike zippers, there is no risk of skin or fabric damage. No other denim brand in the world has a concave button. This ergonomic design allows fingers to fit right into the recess for a more natural and customized feel.

Grp.E jeans are sold at the following San Francisco Bay Area locations:

Wonderland SF (wonderlandsf.com) 415.641.4600

2929 24th Street (between Alabama and Florida) in San Francisco

Underground (undergroundsj.com) 408.298.4286

1312 Lincoln Avenue in Willow Glen / San Jose

Kiss’tique, Los Gatos (kisstique.com) 408.399.5477

11 North Santa Cruz Avenue in Los Gatos

Simply Smashing, Campbell (simplysmashingstyle.com) 408.379.1925

241-B East Campbell Avenue in Campbell

About Grp.E Jeans

Grp.E (pronounced like groupie) is the lifestyle clothing brand launched in 2010 by celebrated San Francisco clothing designer Tommy Pham for men and women who love to work hard…and play even harder. In the Grp.E brand, Pham—the clothing designer behind the LL Cool J and G-Unit (by 50 Cent) brands of designer jeans—has created the perfect party wear for the up-all-night rockstar, with great fitting jeans that are comfortable, tough, and come off in a snap.

The “E” in the name makes it clear that Grp.E is for everyone—and everyone has the right to party and have fun while living on this green earth. The Grp.E brand communicates that everyone is at once the same and unique. Each pocket bag is printed with the phrase “Everyone’s Pink Inside” and the asterisk logo, the symbol of ambiguity, lets every wearer decide what statement they are making.
