BraunAbility building 50 ramps in 50 days with SAWs nonprofit.

BraunAbility and SAWs are partnering to build 50 ramps in 50 days to celebrate the global mobility leader’s 50th anniversary.

SAWs changes lives by enabling clients to safely get outside of their homes, and our products allow our customers to connect with their communities. It makes perfect sense to mark our 50th anniversary by giving back to those who need greater mobility in our communities. -BraunAbility CEO Staci Kroon


INDIANAPOLIS (PRWEB)

BraunAbility, the Indiana-based global leader in wheelchair accessible vehicles and lifts, is recognizing its 50th anniversary by partnering with Servants at Work (SAWs) on an ambitious goal: to build 50 ramps in 50 days in the communities where its employees live and work.

The two organizations have layered missions dedicated to enhancing independence and inclusion for individuals with mobility challenges.

“SAWs changes lives by enabling clients to safely get outside of their own homes, and our products allow our customers and their families to connect with their communities” stated BraunAbility CEO Staci Kroon. “It makes perfect sense to mark our 50th anniversary by giving back to residents who need greater mobility freedom in our communities.”

The majority of the 50 ramps will be built in the Indiana communities where BraunAbility employees live and work, but the company will also build ramps in select markets where it owns retail locations.

“SAWs is honored to partner with BraunAbility to celebrate their milestone 50th anniversary,” said Bob Richmond, SAWs Executive Director. “Our missions are truly complementary, and BraunAbility is a proven leader in the industry nationwide.”

The 50 ramps will be built in July and August by SAWs and BraunAbility volunteers, completely free to the home’s occupant. Each ramp is constructed of wood and adheres strictly to ADA standards. To qualify for the ramp build, recipients must have a long-term disability and have a household income below the Area Mean Income for the state of residence.

BraunAbility was founded in 1972 as The Braun Corporation in Winamac, Indiana by Ralph Braun, a wheelchair user himself who had muscular dystrophy. The company’s manufacturing headquarters remains in Winamac, while the global headquarters is in Carmel. Today BraunAbility has over 1400 employees and serves customers in more than 70 countries with a variety of mobility solutions.

Initiatives like the ramp builds are just one way BraunAbility employees serve as champions in their local communities in support of BraunAbility’s Drive for Inclusion program, a united movement for greater accessibility and independence for those living with mobility challenges and their caregivers.

Donations are being accepted to help cover the costs of ramp build materials. To donate or to learn more about the program, visit here.

Harvesting Through the Scriptures” is a compelling discussion of God’s plan

Leave a comment


News Image


MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“Notes on the Book of Revelation: Harvesting Through the Scriptures”: an engaging discussion of what to expect during the end times. “Notes on the Book of Revelation: Harvesting Through the Scriptures” is the creation of published author Isiah King Sr., MMin, a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who is a Pastor Emeritus.

King shares, “Have you ever experienced competing in a game when it seemed like your opponent was so fierce, so challenging, so strong that you thought that you were going to lose? Or have you ever felt the strength of your opponent that you felt like you were a grasshopper in the eyes of giants? Well, this is what the book of revelation is all about. It’s a book that inspires us as believers to be faith giants and to view our spiritual enemies as grasshoppers in our eyes; with that faith we can conquer and defeat anything that the enemy throws at us.

“The purpose of this prophetic book is to give instructions, commendations, as well as warnings of discipline to the seven Churches of Asia Minor. Even though it was written for them, it will do us well if we truly glean from its spiritual treasures. It is a book of eschatology, a divine plan given by God about the end-times that warns unbelievers about God’s wrath and judgment. Not only does it warn the unsaved about God’s oncoming judgment, but it also gives joy to the faithful, who will be caught up during the Rapture and who will not have to experience or go through the seven-year tribulation period that will take place on earth after the church gets Raptured up to meet Christ in the air.

“It is also a book that encourages believers to stay faithful to Christ until the end of time. Why? Because we win! It is a book that prepares and reminds those who accept Christ during the tribulation period that despite the Antichrist’s demonic attacks, we will triumph with Christ in the end. Even though this book is full of symbolism and various interpretations, God’s divine plan will be revealed by way of the Holy Spirit. This is what the word revelation means. It means to uncover or to unveil. Therefore, if there is ever a time that you thought that you were going to lose this Christian battle, be of good cheer. We win! Again, I say, as you face the trials and tribulations of the devil, be of good courage. You are on the right team!”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Isiah King Sr., MMin’s new book will challenge and encourage students of the Bible.

King offers a straightforward approach for ease of understanding and encouragement of those seeking a deeper understanding of God’s word.

Consumers can purchase “Notes on the Book of Revelation: Harvesting Through the Scriptures” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Never Invite the Enemy” is an engaging tale of temptation and God’s plan

Leave a comment


News Image


MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“NITE: Never Invite the Enemy”: a potent reminder of the dangers of worldly influences. “NITE: Never Invite the Enemy” is the creation of published author Ellen Grant, who earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree and has been immersed in therapy for the past twenty-eight years.

Grant shares, “Children inherit more than eye color, hair color, and height. A parent’s secret can give rise to a child’s burden. Although a child may become a socially adaptable adult with a family and a six-figure salary, this does not necessarily guarantee everything is all right on the inside. Secrets that are an invitation to dysfunction, mistrust, and, worst of all, rebellion can trail into painful generational bonds. The heart, functioning to sustain and overcome pain, serves as God’s instrument to channel his love to us so we can love ourselves and others.

“When the invitation is extended to sin, decline the offer; do not click maybe or regrets. An invitation does not mean acceptance. Here is your way out. Right now. This second, choose life and blessings so that you and your seed will live, not merely the simple life but an abundant life of overflowing love, joy, peace, and prosperity which Jesus sacrificed and died for you to embrace.

“Never invite the enemy. The enemy’s plan has always been to steal, kill, and destroy, not only you but also your children and their children. The enemy is anyone and anything—whether disguised in makeup, money, or muscles—that distract you from God’s perfect plan for your life.

“The love of the flesh and undisciplined desires can exceed in intensity while the love for God diminishes. An extra slice of cake, an extra dose of meds, or an extra marital affair does not matter—the flesh wants to be fed. The effects linger beyond midnight and morning and will manifest for generations. God is relying on you to stop the cycle of imbalance in your family.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Ellen Grant’s new book tackles temptation, sin, and generational curses.

Grant offers an engaging narrative with spiritual themes that will challenge and inspire.

Consumers can purchase “NITE: Never Invite the Enemy” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Firefly Autism’s Annual Fundraiser Laugh Yourself Blue is Back in April 2022 With An Evening of Comedy & Entertainment Honoring Philanthropists Kimbal & Christiana Musk

Leave a comment


Firefly Autism

“As we celebrate our annual Laugh Yourself Blue gala, we are honored to have the opportunity to lift up the voices of our wonderful community.” – Dr. Amanda Kelly, Executive Director and CEO of Firefly Autism.


DENVER (PRWEB)

Firefly Autism is hosting its 11th annual Laugh Yourself Blue gala on Thursday, April 14, 2022, at Seawell Ballroom in the Denver Center for Performing Arts at 5:30 pm. This unique event leverages laughter’s equalizing power to raise critical awareness for the fastest-growing developmental disorder globally and provide an unparalleled fundraising platform for the nonprofit organization Firefly Autism.

Laugh Yourself Blue is filled with laughter, heartwarming moments, top food and wine, and notable philanthropists, creating an experience like no other. The success of the gala ensures that Firefly Autism can continue to provide life-changing support to the local Colorado community while expanding its services across the nation.

The gala will begin with its signature blue carpet arrival leading into an enchanting evening of LED dancers, music, live and silent auctions, and two full comedy sets by world-famous comedians Josh Blue and Cristela Alonzo. The night will kick off with a beautiful social and networking hour, curated by Cuvée, followed by a decadent seated dinner and award ceremony during which the guests will learn more about the tremendous impact of Firefly Autism’s work.

“As we celebrate our annual Laugh Yourself Blue gala, we are honored to have the opportunity to lift up the voices of our wonderful community,” states Dr. Amanda Kelly, Executive Director and CEO of Firefly Autism. “It has been a year of great transformation, and we are so excited for the future of Firefly Autism.”

A tradition since 2012, the Firefly Luminescence Community Impact Awards honor those whose dedication and commitment have made a significant and lasting impact on our community. This year’s recipients are community leaders and philanthropists, Kimbal and Christiana Musk.

The beloved co-chairs are Jesse Ogas, Executive Director of Social Responsibility and Community Affairs at 9NEWS and former Executive Director of Firefly Autism, and Larry and Mary Kay Mueller, founders of Cuvée. Firefly Autism is proud to announce that the presenting sponsors are value-driven organizations Big Green and The Solich Fund.

This year’s title sponsor, Cuvée, generously donated $100,000, which covers the annual cost of the School-Age program plus supplemental services necessary to maximize learning and success. Dedicated to philanthropy since its inception, Cuvée has raised nearly $20 million dollars for youth-focused nonprofits, locally and nationally. Cuvée is also contributing two highly curated and immersive private villa travel experiences to the live auction, including 3-Nights at Cuvée’s West Wing Penthouse for up to 8 guests and 5-nights at Cuvée’s Seaside La Casita for up to 10 guests.

“Over the past two years, we’ve sought to better understand the diagnosis and support organizations that provide impactful support and education for children, adults, and families affected by autism,” states Larry Mueller. “Mary Kay and I champion Firefly’s mission … this year, we’ve made a bigger commitment to helping Firefly continue to transform their programs with meaningful funding, support, and impact from our friends and family.”

Firefly Autism is excited to welcome back Colorado local Josh Blue, the headliner of the first-ever Laugh Yourself Blue Gala, NBC’s America’s Got Talent finalist and Last Comic Standing winner. Continuing to spread laughter and break down stereotypes of people with disabilities, his stand-up routine is constantly evolving. Critics have said Blue is not a cerebral palsy comic; he’s a comic who happens to have cerebral palsy.

Lighting up the room alongside Blue is Cristela Alonzo, the first Latina to create, produce, and star in her own network sitcom “Cristela” for ABC, making history again this year as the first Latina to ever perform at Laugh Yourself Blue. Previously a guest host on ABC’s “The View” and voice of “Cruz Ramirez” in Cars 3, Alonzo’s incredible talent can now be seen on Lower Classy on Netflix and her “To Be Continued” podcast.

2022 is a year of celebration for women with Dr. Amanda Kelly, Ph.D., BCBA-D, as the first woman named as Executive Director and CEO of Firefly Autism in over a decade. The nonprofit is now guided by a leadership team of women focused on diversity, equality, and inclusion. Going along with this empowering theme, this year’s gala is not only featuring its first Latina comedian but is also highlighting the difficulties of being diagnosed and treated as a girl or woman on the spectrum.

Dr. Fred Hill’s new book “A Proactive Approach to Leadership Transition in Ministry” is an insightful guide to preparing the next generation of leaders in ministry

Leave a comment


News Image


ODENVILLE, Ala. (PRWEB)

Dr. Fred Hill, the establishmentarian and senior pastor of Greater Refuge Church in Pleasant Grove, Alabama, has completed his new book “A Proactive Approach to Leadership Transition in Ministry”: a useful and informative guide designed to help ministries understand how to equip and mentor the next generation of leaders effectively.

Dr. Fred Hill has a strong spiritual foundation with sound knowledge of scripture. He possesses a background in clinical pastoral education from Ingalls Center of Pastoral Care. He graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in leadership ministries from Southeastern Bible College. He has a Master of Divinity degree in theology and apologetics from Liberty University and a Doctor of Ministry with high distinction from Liberty University school of divinity.

Dr. Fred Hill is currently employed as a hospice chaplain and bereavement coordinator for a hospice service covering central Alabama. He proudly enjoys the role of husband, father, and grandfather. Dr. Fred Hill maintains a strong desire focused on serving and fulfilling God’s purpose and call on his life.

Author Dr. Fred Hill writes, “Previous research has shown that churches have a leadership vacuum because of the lack of leadership development and transition utilizing a proactive approach. There is a trust factor created between the present and future leadership secondary to proper training and unwillingness to relinquish control by the present-day leaders. This book will be beneficial to church leaders as they learn how to develop the trust needed to begin the implementation of a proactive approach to the leadership transition process.”

Published by Page Publishing, Dr. Fred Hill’s impactful work serves as a warning and a guide for modern-day churches to avoid a leadership vacuum that has become so prevalent in today’s churches by implementing a proactive approach to leadership transition.

Ideal for church leaders, this compelling work reflects the author’s view that it is the leader’s responsibility to develop and prepare others for leadership transitions and that leaders should endeavor to actively discern gifts and talents early in potential leaders.

Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “A Proactive Approach to Leadership Transition in Ministry” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Monique A. Frye’s newly released “Thank You, God” is a charming opportunity for young readers to begin to understand how to connect with God

Leave a comment


News Image


MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“Thank You, God”: a thoughtful opportunity to open conversations with young readers. “Thank You, God” is the creation of published author Monique A. Frye, a loving mother of five who grew up in a military family and enjoyed the opportunity of meeting new people as they traveled to various stations. Frye graduated from the University of Arizona with a bachelor’s degree in agricultural economics.

Frye shares, “I started writing this book when my children were very young. They would get ready for bed, and when I went in to tuck them in, we would pray together about the day, family, and friends. This was just something we would do at the end of the day to spend extra time together, then a kiss and usually an ‘I love you’ and ‘Sleep sweet.’ For me, it always made me feel happy and hopefully send them to sleep with good thoughts. As my kids grew up, I found out not many people knew how to start a prayer or know what to pray about. I am hopeful that this book will help start a prayer and maybe a conversation or at least something to think about. The title seemed fitting since most the book is about being thankful for learning, living, and loving and having a conversation with God. Hey God, Lets talk…”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Monique A. Frye’s new book will delight and encourage both adults and children alike.

Consumers can purchase “Thank You, God” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.
