Largest Heart Announces the 5th Annual Be a Largest Heart

Leave a comment


“We need to do more,” said Largest Heart Founder Peter Cook. “But most Americans don’t know where to find help and support. We want to change that. We are focused on revolutionizing mental health, prevention, and awareness and the 5K event is one way we can shine a light on these critical topics and start the conversation. We are thrilled to have Synterex, a company that shares our values, to be sponsoring this year’s event and helping make a difference in our community.”

“A main facet of Synterex’s core values is strengthening our community,” noted Jeanette Towles, Synterex’s President and CEO. “Many of us know someone or have family who have been afflicted by substance use, and it has a unique ability to affect entire families and communities. We need more tools in our toolkit to tackle these issues so people can live their best and healthiest lives. That’s why Synterex is proud to sponsor this Largest Heart 5K event using the proceeds from our recent second-place win in a pitch competition among disabled-owned businesses. When small and diverse businesses unite, we can have an impact on the world.”

Cook says that a big barrier to care and treatment is stigma and that some individuals are more genetically predisposed to addiction—a fact that many are unaware of. “We are focused on breaking down stigma, normalizing the conversation around these issues, and helping empower individuals and communities.”

For the 5K event, supporters can join in person or remotely. The Largest Heart encourages community members to invite their family, friends, and even animals. The event will focus on the theme of stomping out stigma and raising awareness that recovery is possible. To learn about this year’s recipient: www.floridarecoveryschoolsofcentralflorida.org

eFuse Launches ‘Creator League,’ the First Competitive Gaming League Led by Creators and Powered by Their Community

Leave a comment


The Creator League will redefine esports by putting individual creator communities, rather than large orgs at the forefront of competition, fostering interactivity, engagement, and fandom like never before. This innovative format features eight of digital media’s most influential creators, all of whom will not only field teams but also compete in gaming’s top titles and collaborate with their communities to make critical decisions throughout the nine-month season.

Leading the league is a renowned and diverse cast of creators, spanning music and IRL genres to traditional gaming and sandbox experiences. Musician and fashion star Bella Poarch (link), sports personality iShowSpeed (link), the creator collective OTK (link), international IRL sensation CdawgVA (link), and TikTok star VinnieHacker provide personality-driven content, while gaming icons Hecz & Scump (representing OpTic Gaming), top Fortnite pro, Clix (link), and Minecraft creator, Sapnap (link) offer tested gaming expertise. Collectively, these creators boast a combined audience of over 226 million followers and have a long history of mobilizing communities. All creators will actively manage their teams and feature competitions on their live channels.

“My community is the best. They really support me to the fullest so I wanted to give them more opportunities to compete for a ton of cash and rewards, but at the same time feel like we’re all on the same team,” said Cody Conrod, the Fortnite pro known as Clix. “The model of the Creator League finally gives power and value back to our communities which is where it should be. I’m excited to be part of season 1. I’m winning this whole thing.”

As the economics of esports continue to face challenges with organizations struggling, entire teams disbanding, and fans feeling disconnected, the Creator League will pioneer a new and sustainable model for esports.

The Creator League was founded with fan participation as a core value, offering a highly interactive and immersive experience. After purchasing a community pass ($19.99) for a specific creator’s team, fans will vote to field rosters, elect strategies, and compete for a chance at cash prizes. Exclusive access to virtual town halls, invite-only tournaments, live events, and private Discord channels will deepen a sense of connection throughout the season.

The Creator League kicks off with a thrilling $50,000 Open Qualifier from September 8th to 10th. This three-day open Fortnite qualifier welcomes all fans (not just pass holders), to compete for a share of the $50,000 prize pool and a coveted spot on each creator’s team. CashApp, the Official Payments Partner of the Creator League and lead sponsor, will facilitate the distribution of all tournament winnings and offer at least $100,000 in giveaways throughout the season.

MrBeast (link), YouTube’s top creator with 178 million subscribers and 30 billion views, will officially unveil the Creator League on Saturday, September 2, 2023, at noon ET.

The Creator League represents a bold step forward in the world of esports, ushering in a new era where creators and their communities take center stage. For more information about the Creator League and to purchase community passes, visit CreatorLeague.GG

RAMPART IC Announces the Addition of Rob Williamson to Its Board of Managers

Leave a comment


Interventional cardiologists spend extended time in catheterization labs. Their occupation is exposed to the highest levels of radiation in the world.1 These physicians often face debilitating injuries resulting from the 20-30-pound lead aprons traditionally worn to reduce radiation exposure,2 with nearly half reporting some form of orthopedic injury.3 The Rampart M1128, which is designed for procedures conducted by interventional cardiologists, electrophysiologists, interventional neurologists, and interventional radiologists, is a fully adjustable and portable system equipped with transparent radiation-attenuating panels that have 1mm lead equivalency, creating a wide shielding area, protecting the physician and surrounding medical personnel. The powered device can easily be configured and adjusted to allow for subtle positioning to suit type of procedure and the body shape of the patient.

The Rampart system is used by several prominent US healthcare systems and prestigious university medical institutions. In addition, Rampart has signed agreements with distributors in the Middle East, Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America providing its radiation shielding solution to serve healthcare professionals in countries around the world.

“I am pleased to join the Board of Managers at Rampart,” said Williamson. “Like many of the companies I have been involved with, Rampart has a unique value proposition that is specifically focused on an underserved population within our space. After 25 years in and around interventional labs, I have seen firsthand the impact that both radiation exposure and wearing lead can have on the body. Our healthcare providers deserve better, and Rampart is delivering. I’m honored to serve a company with such an important mission.”

Founded in 2018, Rampart is a leading innovator of radiation attenuating medical devices for physicians and staff who perform interventional procedures using fluoroscopic and other medical imaging equipment. Designed to protect the entire team during procedures, Rampart’s products allow teams to operate without having to wear heavy lead aprons and other garments that have been known to cause debilitating musculoskeletal and orthopedic issues for operators. The company’s flagship product, the M1128, is used in cath labs worldwide.
