Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Forward, Charlotte Hornets is Hosting a Free Day Camp For Young People Who Stutter - Camp SAY Across the USA: Charlotte

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, a Camp SAY Ambassador, has stuttered since childhood and understands first-hand the serious issues that children with this speech disorder face at school and in everyday life. This day camp will be hosted in Charlotte, NC and is being offered free-of-charge. Parents are encouraged to attend camp to meet and mingle with other parents of children who stutter. Parents can also join an educational group, led by an expert in working with young people who stutter. Read here.

"I am really excited to be an Ambassador for Camp SAY and to have the opportunity to make such a positive impact on kids who stutter," said Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Charlotte Hornets Forward. "I'm looking forward to extending my support into the Charlotte community based on the foundation of a cause that is very special to me."

SAY Founder Taro Alexander added, "We are honored that Michael is hosting Camp SAY Across the USA: Charlotte. Michael knows that stuttering doesn't have to hold anyone back from pursuing and achieving their dreams. He is a powerful role model to countless young people and is dedicated to fostering a strong community of kids and teens who stutter. He inspires young people to do and be anything they want."

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist visited Camp SAY's 2-week residential camp in East Stroudsburg, PA last summer and had the opportunity to meet some of the 156 campers who attended. That sparked the idea to host a day camp so kids in Charlotte could benefit from this transformative camp experience too. "Bringing Camp SAY Across the USA to Charlotte will change so many lives," said Alexander. The camp will take place from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, at a central location in Charlotte, NC. The following weekend, campers and their parents are invited to join SAY for the March 3, 1:00 pm Hornets v. Trail Blazers game, with 2 FREE game tickets being available for each family of a child who attends Camp SAY Across the USA: Charlotte (1 ticket for the camper and 1 for a parent/guardian - limited availability, while supplies last). See additional Camp SAY Across the USA: Charlotte details and enrollment information at CampSAY.org/Charlotte.

Stuttering is a common, yet widely misunderstood speech disorder that affects over 70 million people worldwide, including approximately 5% of all young children, many who continue to stutter into adulthood. Children who stutter often have significant difficulty in establishing friendships and experience discrimination, profound cruelty and bullying. Children who stutter may underperform in school by declining to participate in school activities, and avoid participation in class discussions – literally silencing themselves to avoid ridicule and shame. This cycle can deny children the opportunity to build educational and communication skills, compromising opportunities to attend college or pursue a desired career. SAY was founded in 2001, to help address these critical issues facing children who stutter. Camp SAY was established in 2008, and in 2018, Camp SAY Across the USA was launched with stops in several cities, including Irvine, CA; Houston, TX; and Memphis, TN.

The Stuttering Association for the Young is a national 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that empowers, educates, and supports young people who stutter and the world that surrounds them. Through creative expression, summer camp, and speech therapy, SAY builds a community of acceptance where young people who stutter gain confidence and communication skills. Since 2001, SAY has offered comprehensive and innovative programs that address the physical, social, and emotional impacts of stuttering. This year alone, SAY will underwrite more than $1,000,000 in programming costs for children from families in need. To date, no child has been turned away due to a family's inability to pay.

Coloredge, the largest provider of visual marketing solutions for upscale brands and retailers, announced today a new, national strategic initiative that will deepen Coloredge's technology and service offerings to enhance its competitive edge in today's rapidly evolving retail market. The initiative, which spans three key parts of Coloredge's business, will leverage digital technologies to change the way in which customers can adapt more easily to rapidly changing paradigms and allows Coloredge to be more customer centric.

The initiative has been underwritten by a new multi-million-dollar investment from its privately held owner, Saints Capital. The amount of the investment was not disclosed.

"We're very excited to move ahead with this transformative new initiative at Coloredge," said Emmanuel Doe, CEO of Coloredge. "This retail industry is evolving faster than ever, and with this evolution comes the need for new capabilities and technologies.

A Broad Three-Point Plan

The new strategic initiative announced by Coloredge is focused on three key areas:

1. A new collaborative digital technology platform to respond to the new consumer lifecycle. As part of an intensive expansion of digital and creative capabilities, Coloredge will be investing in a new collaborative system that will enable design, manufacturing, asset and creative sharing among Coloredge, clients and partners. This will also provide creative experiential insight, manufacturing templates and improve time and cost to market. This is an especially timely enhancement as the retail market looks for new ways to adopt digital transformation.

2. Expansion of East Coast Operations. The initiative will support the purchase of additional best in class equipment and highly skilled staff, resulting in an improved total cost of ownership for customers. The expansion will help Coloredge deliver the high-end visual displays that result in exceptional and memorable consumer experiences. It will also help Coloredge deliver more customized capabilities to indie and startup brands who seek a trusted partner as they move beyond direct-to-consumer and e-commerce and into retail environments.

3. Funding for strategic acquisitions. The new capital will provide new funds with which Coloredge can potentially make strategic acquisitions, with an initial focus on the West Coast. This will boost Coloredge's national presence and provide additional leverage for effectively serving its top 1,000 customers in key segments.

Hidden in Plain Sight: Travel Advisors’ Number One Obstacle is Getting Travelers to Know They’re Still Here

Technology has made booking airline flights and hotels so easy that the idea of contacting a travel advisor to make these arrangements is not always top of mind. But what if you planned a vacation to Italy and wanted to customize the trip entirely to your interests? From hotel and cuisine to hiking and nightlife, the need for insight and advice from experienced people who know the country, the culture, and the people suddenly becomes a bit more viable. Enter the "travel advisor." Oddly enough, the same technology that nearly made travel advisors an extinct species has also become the same reason why enlisting their services for today's "customized-just-for-me" traveler has become necessary, and just plain smart. Kimberly Wilson Wetty, Co-Owner & Co-President of Valerie Wilson Travel recently went One-On-One with ExpertFlye r to explain why working with a travel advisor can save money while creating a truly customized travel experience. Read this here.

Valerie Wilson Travel is a second-generation family business that was started in 1981. Now, 38 years later, Wilson Wetty, along with her mother and sister, co-own the business, which has since expanded to locations across the country, including its headquarters in Manhattan. "We've been around long enough to remember a time when all travel arrangements went through an agent or advisor," Wilson Wetty explains. "Today, there is a misconception that we don't even exist as an industry, but the reality is our knowledge and services are needed now more than ever."

Knowledge and expertise do not just apply to finding local hot spots, trendy restaurants, and unique adventures. Travel advisors can help clients navigate through a host of travel issues, including cancelled flights and travel delays. A single phone call to a trusted travel advisor can help turn a potential travel disaster into a minor inconvenience. ExpertFlyer recently published The Traveler's Backup Plan: A Guidebook for Navigating Through the Anxiety of Delayed and Cancelled Airline Flights, which delves into how to handle this common stressor while traveling.

While advancements in technology initially seemed to threaten travel advisors' existence, it has helped re-fuel this service industry. "People want information immediately and technology has allowed them to obtain it without any assistance," Wilson Wetty said. "Travel advisors are embracing the technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), and combining it with real-world knowledge and experience to give travelers a formula for creating their ideal vacation. Travel advisors offer a great value proposition and travelers are rediscovering that value." Read all the related news.

"For anyone looking to coordinate a customized travel adventure that caters to their specific interests, a travel advisor is an inside resource with experience who can be worth their weight in gold," explains Chris Lopinto, president of ExertFlyer.com. "They can be a lifeline when things don't go according to plan, such as weather delays and cancellations at the airport. Working with an advisor often results in cost-savings and upgrades otherwise not possible on your own."
