In alignment with one of the McKesson Foundation’s priorities to reduce the burden of cancer, grant funding to Triage Cancer will help support the nonprofit’s Legal & Financial Navigation Program to help people better navigate the financial and practical issues that arise after a cancer diagnosis. Cancer patients and caregivers can contact the Legal & Financial Navigation Program to receive answers to difficult questions regarding their health care finances. Answers to questions are provided in English and Spanish around topics related to social determinants of health such as health insurance, employment, housing, and financial concerns.
“The McKesson Foundation is proud to partner with Triage Cancer to help patients and caregivers navigate the complex legal and financial challenges that often accompany a cancer diagnosis,” said Melissa Thompson, president of the McKesson Foundation. “With the information and resources Triage Cancer provides, patients can have some peace of mind while they focus on treatment and recovery.”
Triage Cancer is a national, nonprofit organization that provides free education on the legal and practical issues that can arise following a cancer diagnosis. The organization serves individuals diagnosed with cancer, as well as their families, caregivers, advocates, and healthcare professionals, helping them navigate complex situations by providing free events, materials, and resources.

Gina, a new resident at 456 West, recently broke free from a 13-year domestic violence situation. Gina and her 9-year-old son, Joseph, lived in an emergency shelter for 30 days, followed by six months in interim housing where they had no kitchen or bathroom of their own. Gina saved her money and applied to 456 West. When she learned she had been selected for an apartment, she said it felt surreal because she had never been someone who wins. Gina and Joseph love their new home. Joseph enjoys the third-floor outdoor community where he can run and play, while Gina is making use of the fitness center to help improve her health. “Nothing compares to being able to call a home your own,” she said.
The new six-story building, located at 456 West 9th Street in San Pedro, has five studio, 27 one-bedroom, 35 two-bedroom, and 23 three-bedroom apartments, as well as a two-bedroom manager’s apartment. The building features a community room with computer and kitchen areas, a gym, and bike storage. Outdoor community spaces include play areas, a picnic terrace, and a community lawn. There is also 4,900 square feet of ground floor commercial space.
456 West is an electric-only building, resulting in lower carbon emissions, lower air pollution, and increased resiliency.
“The best way to ensure strong, stable communities is to offer housing for people at all income levels,” said Rebecca Clark, CEO, Linc Housing. “456 West brings 91 more affordable homes to this dynamic, walkable neighborhood. It is our hope that this new community provides a solid foundation for families to thrive.”
The City of Los Angeles contributed the land for the new community. Other funding sources include HOME funds managed by the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD), tax credits through Raymond James, a construction loan from Bank of America, and a permanent loan by California Community Reinvestment Corporation.
The Hope through Housing Foundation provides onsite social services to help elevate the health, well-being, and self-sufficiency of residents. A professional service coordinator, in conjunction with local community partners, arranges an array of programs addressing resident health, parenting skills, employment, money management, exercise, nutrition, and youth development.
“We know that accessible housing is just the first step in tackling our crisis in affordable housing,” said Micheal Ruane, president, National CORE. “It’s the mix of resident services coupled with high-quality homes that allows residents to achieve and maintain lasting stability, safety and security. We’re committed to offering high-quality onsite services to ensure that residents break the cycle of generational poverty while fostering a sense of community.”
RRM Design Group designed 456 West, and National CORE served as the general contractor. Construction began in February 2021, and the community welcomed its first residents in August 2023.
About Linc Housing Corporation Linc Housing, one of California’s most productive nonprofit developers of affordable housing, is committed to building communities and strengthening neighborhoods for people underserved by the marketplace. Linc has helped create nearly 9,500 homes in 94 communities throughout the state. The organization’s properties are known for excellent design, outstanding management and life-enhancing services for its residents. Linc has nearly 40 years of service to families, seniors, people with special needs, and local governments – helping to create sustainable communities via new construction, acquisition and rehabilitation, and historic preservation.

About National CORE and Hope through Housing Foundation National CORE is one of the largest nonprofit developers in the nation, with a 30-year history of being an innovator in the field. In 2021, National CORE became one of only two affordable housing developers to earn an A+ credit rating from Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings. In 2022, National CORE issued $100 million in Series 2022 Social Bonds to accelerate the development of critically needed affordable housing. Serving about 30,000 residents, National CORE strives to be a launching pad, not a landing pad, for families struggling financially. In 1998, National CORE created the Hope through Housing Foundation, a philanthropic nonprofit with a mission to end the cycle of generational poverty through resident services that promote educational attainment, economic mobility and overall well-being.
The acquisition of Stack Intelligence’s Atlassian practice advances the pureplay Atlassian growth strategy being pursued by Isos and backed by Acacia. In December 2022, Acacia acquired Isos and brought it together with the Atlassian practice of MajorKey Technologies, another Acacia company at the forefront of enterprise digital transformation. In February 2023, Isos combined with HyperVelocity, an Atlassian Platinum Solution Partner with deep public sector and agile experience, and a strong working relationship with Stack. The addition of Stack’s team to Isos deepens the company’s expertise and experience in Atlassian migrations and ITSM, and brings its tally of Atlassian-accredited specialists to over 170.
“We are thrilled to welcome Stack Intelligence’s team that is focused on Atlassian solutions to Isos,” said Isos CEO Thad West. “We’ve come to know them well through their relationship with HyperVelocity. Stack’s specialists are all superstars in their field, and there is such a strong cultural alignment between our two companies. They share our commitment to excellence, and we know their clients hugely value their expert guidance, engineering expertise, and problem-solving ethos. That client focus, and the way they nurture the team to be their best, makes this acquisition a no-brainer for us. We can’t wait to get our teams working together to create new possibilities for our clients.”
“Joining forces with Isos unleashes so much potential in our business,” said Najam Irshad, Founder and CEO of Stack Intelligence, who is joining Isos as the Vice President of Federal Sales. “It creates boundless opportunities for our team to learn and grow alongside their new colleagues and to apply their skills and experience to solving problems for some of the biggest companies in the world. We love that we can now operate on a bigger scale, but as part of a company that retains the agility and creativity of a small business. That’s the ideal combination for us. It ensures that we can grow while staying true to what our clients really value from us.”
“This is an exciting time in the Atlassian Partner community, as many organizations are uniting to offer more sophisticated and robust professional services for Atlassian customers,” said Julio Chez, Head of Americas Channels for Atlassian. “The combination of Isos’ and Stack’s expertise will enable our biggest enterprise customers to accelerate their business transformation and adoption of Atlassian cloud solutions.”
The investment strategy on which Isos and Acacia are partnering is grounded in the market traction of the Atlassian suite of products that enables scalable, cost-effective digital transformation. This is fueled by the growing need to bring software development and business operations closer together, increasing nontechnical engagement with agile tools and practices. The simplicity of Atlassian tools makes this challenge much easier to meet.
Stack Intelligence has a Salesforce practice which is not part of this acquisition, and which will continue to operate independently under the Stack brand led by President Ayesha Najmi and Vice President Shantanu Bhardwaj.

Attention media producers, reporters, radio/TV, and podcast hosts. Tennis professionals Roscoe Tanner and Brady Alan Mazzola are available to be booked as guests on your news and sports programs and podcasts. To make coordinating easy and hassle-free contact Robb Leer at 612.701.0608
The clinic, conducted by Tanner and Brady Alan Mazzola of BAM! FiTennis, will encompass the mechanics of serving including the proper kinetic chain from stance, toss, wind up, contact point, and follow-through. The clinic will also cover placement, types of serves, and when to use it, as well as volleys and net skills so that players will learn to serve and volley. The serve skills challenge will allow participants to compete for prizes in a competition that tests for fastest serve and accuracy.
The event will also launch an innovative community impact serve challenge off the court for selective participants and teams. Participants will be incentivized to formulate and implement local community impact campaigns as a form of community service where most effective and impactful individuals will be awarded prizes. All proceeds from the “Serve Challenge” will benefit Watering Seeds’ mission to inspire and improve lives, while preventing suicide.
With the help of Tanner, a former tennis great, the event promises to be one to remember. Tanner has 0won 16 singles titles and 13 doubles titles in the Association of Tennis Professional Tour. In 1977, he won his first Grand Slam at The Australian Open, and in 1979 was a runner-up at Wimbledon, where he lost in 5-sets to Bjorn Borg. For several years, he was the doubles partner of the legendary Arthur Ashe.
In 1979 he received the “Fair Play Award” from the United Nations. And at the height of his career, Roscoe Tanner was ranked number four in the world. Nicknamed “The Rocket” in the 1970’s, Roscoe held the fastest serve record at 153 mph for more than 25 years, before it was broken by Andy Roddick at 155 mph in 2004. In 2005, he published a confessional book, “Double Fault”, which detailed his rise to the pinnacle of the tennis world, and some of his human failings. The “Serve Challenge” is part of Roscoe’s mission to give back.
“We are blessed to have Roscoe participating at this Veterans’ Day event,” said Mazzola. “He is a proven champion and leader, both on and off the court.”
Mazzola, a former NCAA DI tennis player, was inspired to start Watering Seeds in 2004 after seeing a Paralympic wheelchair tennis exhibition held at UCLA and created a platform to play sports to be more accessible to the disabled. Since WSO’s inception in 2005, Mazzola and his team have successfully hosted and produced numerous outreach events and campaigns that include military family picnics at Walter Reed Medical Center, live broadcast television concert specials to boost Military morale, benefit comedy and magic shows at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, numerous celebrity charity pre-Super Bowl Galas in host cities, the Wheelchair Super Bowl featuring Veterans and NFL Alumni, as well as “Skills on Wheels” adaptive sports clinics, competitions, and exhibitions around the country.
“We are committed as an organization to do all we can to provide education, equipment and training to those we serve,” said Mazzola. “The Serve Challenge event is a continuation of the work we do to generate support for our wounded veterans and challenged civilians.”
Currently, Mazzola helps to oversee the Fall Creek Tennis Academy in Humble, TX. As a holistic high- performance coach with a mind, body, and spirit approach to wellness, he understands how to help others break through their limits to grow and maximize their full potential. BAM! FiTennis, a high energy fusion of functional fitness and technical tennis training, creates personalized programs with high quality instruction and hands-on training in a focused, fun, and productive learning environment.
About Watering Seeds Organization: Since its inception in 2005, WSO has been dedicated to empowering our youth, wounded warriors, and challenged civilians through adaptive sports, fitness, and wellness programs, as well as live entertainment events. WSO is widely recognized by the U.S. Department of Defense for providing Wounded Warrior Care as well as Entertainment for the Troops and their families to raise morale. We have hosted and/or participated in numerous nationally recognized charitable events and public awareness campaigns that have been featured in network television segments along with other notable nonprofits.

Deadline Reminders. In addition to understanding how FSA funds can be used, consumers should understand and remember these deadline facts in the coming weeks:
The December 31 use-it-or-lose-it deadline is the date by which, for many account holders, the FSA balance must be spent or remaining funds are lost. This is called a forfeiture.
While December 31 is the most common spending deadline for FSAs, this deadline can vary based on an organization’s plan year. Account holders should log in to their FSA portal, if available, to verify their deadline, or check with their employer or FSA administrator.
An employer may offer an FSA deadline extension, such as a partial rollover of unused funds, a grace period (2.5 months after your plan year end date; typically March 15), and/or a run-out period. These extensions are completely optional. Check on your FSA portal or with your employer, benefits team, or FSA administrator to confirm availability.
To help account holders avoid potential FSA forfeitures, FSA Store offers free FSA Deadline Alerts that remind consumers when their personal deadline is approaching so they can avoid a forfeiture.
For additional information, deadline support, and money-saving deals, visit the FSA Store.
