Team Rubicon Brings Hurricane Relief in Florida with Help from CASE Construction Equipment Dealers

Leave a comment


“When CASE put out a request to local dealers for machinery to support recovery efforts, we jumped right into action,” says Kevin Pittman, sales manager for Tidewater Equipment at their location in Live Oak, Florida, near Taylor County. “This disaster was right in our backyard, and the folks impacted by Idalia were our neighbors, family and friends. We wanted to help any way we could, and we were moved by the work Team Rubicon volunteers were doing across southern Georgia and the Florida Panhandle.”

CASE and its parent company’s foundation, CNH Industrial Foundation, have been long-time supporters of Team Rubicon and its mission. CASE deploys machinery through its dealer network to numerous disaster response and community service projects across North America, while the Foundation has supported efforts with monetary support. This year, CASE and Team Rubicon also initiated a new operator training program for Greyshirts at two CASE dealers (RPM Machinery and Lawrence Equipment) to prepare volunteers for exactly the kind of work needed in this operation.

“Helping people build communities is what drives CASE in everything we do. That includes rebuilding them when disaster strikes,” says Terry Dolan, vice president, North America, CASE Construction Equipment. “Our dealers in Florida and across North America are always ready to step up to the plate when the need arises. And we’re proud to play a part in the good work Team Rubicon is doing for those impacted by Hurricane Idalia.”

When it comes to responding to disasters, volunteers from the veteran-led nonprofit Team Rubicon are some of the first to arrive. Also known as “Greyshirts,” Team Rubicon volunteers include sawyers and heavy equipment operators who clear trees and debris from roads so emergency crews can access impacted communities.

In Taylor County, the destruction left by the high winds, rain and storm surge from Hurricane Idalia was especially severe. Roads across the county were blocked by trees and other debris while power was out in large portions of the county. After Taylor County’s emergency manager requested help, Team Rubicon, with the help of CASE machinery from Tidewater Equipment and CASE Power & Equipment of Florida, launched its first Idalia response on Sept. 1.

“Our continued partnership with CASE allows Team Rubicon to assist more communities in need before and after disasters strike,” said William Porter, Director of Operations Support for Team Rubicon. “We were able to quickly clear roads within hours of Hurricane Idalia making landfall in Florida and have continued to support the community with CASE machines from Tidewater Equipment Company. The commitment of CASE fuels this work and increases our capacity to assist survivors.”

In just the first week following landfall, volunteers brought their relief operation to completion, clearing 298 obstructions across multiple counties in Florida, moving over 490 dump truck loads of debris, and allowing thousands of survivors to regain access to emergency and essential services. Throughout the operation, which continued for months after the storm’s initial impact, CASE dealers were in it for the long haul, supporting Greyshirts with critical equipment to help get the job done as quickly as possible.

“Despite all the destruction left by Idalia, we felt privileged to be in a position to help with the powerful equipment Team Rubicon needed,” says Jeff Heinemann, Director, CASE Power & Equipment, Florida. “Supporting each other in good times and bad is what we’re all about, and we’re proud to be part of a network at CASE that shares those values.”

Chaffin Luhana to Give Away 600 Turkeys in Greater Pittsburgh Area

Leave a comment


Chaffin Luhana LLP and The Chaffin Luhana Foundation are hosting their annual Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway to combat food insecurity in the Greater Pittsburgh area this holiday season. With nearly 90% of U.S. households facing food insecurity, the event aims to provide 600 turkeys to families in need, and online registration is open until all turkeys are reserved.

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Chaffin Luhana LLP and The Chaffin Luhana Foundation are pleased to announce their annual Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway—a campaign to help fight food insecurity throughout the Greater Pittsburgh area this holiday season.

Families can pick up a turkey to have for their Thanksgiving dinners in one of two locations—Pittsburgh, PA, and New Cumberland, WV—on Wednesday, November 15th, and Thursday, November 16th.

According to the latest data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), 89.8 percent (118.5 million) of U.S. households are food insecure. In 2022, 49 million people turned to food banks and community programs for help putting food on the table, according to the Feeding America organization.

The Urban Institute notes that food insecurity has trended upward amid high inflation, despite the steady improvement in the unemployment rate. In June 2022, nearly one in four adults who are parents or guardians of children under 19 living with them reported that their households were food insecure.

In Pittsburgh alone, one in five residents are food insecure, according to the Department of City Planning, with one in eight children facing hunger. The Department of Human Services reports that for nearly 1.7 million Pennsylvanians, food insecurity is a “daily part of life.”

In West Virginia, the Bread for the World organization notes that between 2019 and 2021, food insecurity in West Virginia averaged 14 percent. That made the state the fourth hungriest in the nation. According to Feeding America, one in seven children in the state faces hunger.

“As we approach the holiday season, we can’t ignore the ongoing challenges that many families face. The burden of rising food prices and daily expenses weighs on households, making it difficult for them to fully embrace the holiday season,” said Eric Chaffin, Founding Partner. “Our annual Turkey Giveaway is about coming together as a community and lending a hand to those who may be struggling. We believe in the power of compassion and giving back.”

The foundation will give away 600 turkeys and online registration will be open until all turkeys are reserved. To reserve a turkey, please register at https://www.chaffinluhana.com/turkey-giveaway/.

With their mission of “Doing Good by Doing Right™”, Chaffin Luhana and the Chaffin Luhana Foundation have long believed in giving back to the community through charitable contributions and scholarship donations. This is the fifth year the firm has hosted the Turkey Giveaway, giving out hundreds of turkeys to those in need.

“The holidays are a time for reflection and gratitude. It’s also a time to extend our compassion to others,” said Founding Partner, Roopal Luhana. “We understand the importance of family and togetherness during the holiday season, and we want to ensure that every family can share a meal together. We’re thankful for the trust our community has placed in us, and we remain committed to our mission of ‘doing good by doing right’.”

Tuesday, November 15—Pittsburgh, PA 2pm – 4pm

Extra Life Celebrates 15th Annual Game Day to Change Kids’ Health

Leave a comment


Extra Life, a pioneering initiative, was the first of its kind in the nonprofit world, exclusively dedicated to the gaming and streaming communities. It was born from the heartfelt memory of Victoria Enmon, a young patient whom founder Jeromy Adams met while working at a fundraising event for her member children’s hospital. What began as a grassroots effort nearly 15 years ago has blossomed into a remarkable journey, culminating in the recognition of being named among the 2022 Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Organization of the Year by the Peer-to-Peer Professional Forum.

Since its inception in 2008, Extra Life participants have raised over $130 million, impacting the lives of millions of pediatric patients across the U.S. and Canada.

Extra Life has witnessed the collective efforts of thousands of community members, partners, influencers, and creators who have joined forces with a shared vision: to change kids’ health to change the future through the power of fundraising and gaming.

  • Roll20, the complete solution for virtual tabletop gaming, is supporting Extra Life with their first-ever all-virtual Humble Bundle. Their annual virtual tabletop event will also feature a livestream fundraising activity for Extra Life during Game Day weekend. Roll20 community members will have the opportunity to donate toward the Roll20 team’s fundraising efforts. Another special bundle will be offered on DriveThroughRPG.com, the largest RPG online store.

National CORE, Linc Housing and the City of Los Angeles Celebrate Completion of 91 New Affordable Apartments in Downtown San Pedro

Leave a comment


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.

Chase Plastics announces eighth annual Giving Card Campaign

Leave a comment


Chase Plastics is excited to announce the official kick-off of its annual holiday “Giving Card” campaign.

CLARKSTON, Mich., Nov. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In its eighth year, the effort is a much-anticipated tradition that provides the opportunity to nominate a charitable organization to receive a well-deserved donation. This year, Chase Plastics is increasing its donation amount to $2,500 from $1,000.

Entrants can log onto www.chaseplastics.com/giving to nominate their favorite charity through December 15. The selected charity(ies) will be announced on www.chaseplastics.com and their social media pages on December 20. Chase Plastics will highlight various charitable organizations’ efforts on their social media pages throughout the campaign period to help raise awareness about them.

The act of giving has been synonymous with the Chase Plastics name, culture, and the plastics industry for decades. Since the launch of the Giving Card Campaign in 2016, the total number of charities nominated has topped 760, with 2022 being a record year for number of entries. So, it is no surprise that — much like Chase Plastics — their customers and suppliers have equally big hearts and a passion for giving.

Since the start of the campaign, their generosity has led to donations totaling $47,000 to several charities across the country. It has also perpetuated the spirit of giving — something in which Chase Plastics strongly believes. They have made it an initiative to encourage volunteerism and increase awareness of charitable organizations by spotlighting various nominated charities on their Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn pages. “It’s an honor to spread awareness about these amazing organizations,” Chase Plastics’ Advertising and Marketing Manager, Sherry Cudd, told us. “We hope our Giving Campaign inspires others to donate time, resources and money to the featured charities or use them as a resource themselves.”

Chase Plastics is proud to maintain a culture of teamwork and giving, providing a paid day off for all employees to engage in volunteer efforts for the charity of their choice.

Past winners include: K9s for Warriors (Ponte Vedra, FL), Tails of Hope (Gay, GA), Twenty Two Until None (Phoenix, AZ), Benjamin’s Hope (Holland, MI), Rising Stars Academy (Center Line, MI), Penrickton Center for Blind Children (Taylor, MI), Battin Farms Equine & Soldier Sanctuary (Olivet, MI), See Me Home – Senior Dog Sanctuary (Sturgis, MI), Party for a Purpose (Monticello, MN), LifeCenter Northwest (Bellevue, WA), Children’s Oncology Group Foundation (Philadelphia, PA), Home of the Innocents (Louisville, KY), Malachi House Hospice (Cleveland, OH), Gleaners Community Food Bank (Detroit, MI), Operation Underground Railroad, Thumb Area Helping Hands (Bad Axe, MI), Folds of Honor, Hero Dogs, Inc., Because There Is Hope, Toms River Field of Dreams (Township of Toms River, NJ), Agape Safe Haven (Longmont, CO), Paws With a Cause (Wayland, MI) and Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank (Akron, OH).
