Terraboost Announces Mass Donation of $3.6 Million of Hand Sanitizer Wipes and Dispensers to Help USA Food Banks

CHICAGO, April 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Terraboost, a Chicago-based “purpose-driven” manufacturer of sanitizer, wipes and other wellness products, as well as a national Out of Home (OOH) media company, today announced it will donate over 100 million wipes and 480 wipe dispensers to various organizations around the United States who give aid to the impoverished, elderly, and other people in need. 

Five organizations located in 12 cities will be the recipients of this mass donation, and 12 cities were part of the windfall of PPE supplies needed to keep vulnerable community members safe. The five non-profit organizations and their locations are:

  1. CityTeam

    • Oakland, CA
    • San Francisco, CA
    • San Jose, CA
  2. Feed The Children

    • Oklahoma City, OK
    • Elkhart, IN
    • Bethlehem, PA
    • LaVergne, TN
  3. Midwest Food Bank

    • Normal, IL
    • Indianapolis, IN
  4. Greater Chicago Food Repository

    • Chicago, IL
  5. Meals on Wheels 

“The combined efforts of these amazing partners reach well over 10 million people annually. They all strive to serve the communities they are in by providing food security and other measures to sustain those in need,” said Terraboost CEO Brian Morrison. “At a time when COVID-19 is still a danger, especially to more vulnerable groups, it’s important that people are able to sanitize effectively. Such a widespread mission demanded a widespread solution, so Terraboost stepped up to the plate.”

During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Terraboost became two separate businesses united under a mission to provide local communities with hand sanitizer supplies and businesses with unique branding opportunities. Terraboost Industries quickly expanded the Tazza Hand Sanitizer Brand to meet the growing demand for PPE. The Chicago manufacturing plant became a hub for manufacturing of various disinfecting and sanitizing wipes, creating new domestic jobs while unemployment was on the rise. 

Terraboost Media continued to support local communities and businesses by operating over 100,000 sanitizing billboards across the U.S. These hand sanitizer kiosks are located in national supermarket and drug store chains, like Albertsons and CVS, to provide shoppers access to wellness products upon entering a store. These wellness products are made available through the generous sponsorship of local businesses, national brands and service providers who advertise on the billboards.

“Terraboost’s commitment to the health and wellness of all communities in the United States is ongoing,” Morrison added. “We can all expect to see more partnerships between Terraboost and non-profit partners as we continue to strive together towards healthier communities for all.”

About Hunger in the United States

Before the coronavirus pandemic, more than 35 million people struggled with hunger in the United States, including more than 10 million children. Children are the most likely group in the United States to face food insecurity. The coronavirus pandemic has likely caused the number of people experiencing hunger to increase. Estimates say that potentially more than 50 million people now are facing food insecurity. (source: https://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/facts)

Emerging Markets Report: On the ATAK



An Emerging Markets Sponsored Commentary

ORLANDO, Fla., April 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As regular readers know, we’ve been covering the achievements and execution of the business plan by KWESST Micro Systems Inc. (TSXV: KWE) (OTCQB: KWEMF) which is developing and commercializing high-value ultra-miniaturized technology applications that make a critical difference to the safety and operational effectiveness of personnel in the defence and security industries.

Basically they make weapon systems on the battlefield more effective, which means greater safety for soldiers and more lethal for their foes.

Before we break down on our perspective on these recent events including the opening of an ATAK Centre of Excellence in Canada to handle new business, we want to urge you in the strongest of terms to visit the Company’s astonishing website. This is not some start-up with a shell and a dream.

The technology is simply amazing. Click here to check it out.

Go ahead. We’ll wait.

But this recent piece of news about establishing the ATAK Centre of Excellence in Ottawa is yet another unique and significant step forward for a Company already trusted by major players in the industry of warfare. This new center will enhance integration of the Company’s proprietary technology, and will facilitate customer requirements for integration into the U.S. and NATO’s preeminent battlefield management application known as ATAK (Android Tactical Assault Kit).

ATAK is defined by the Company as an “Android geospatial and situational awareness system that provides users with a drop-down menu of approved operational applications for shared situational awareness. It is the pre-eminent system used by more than a dozen U.S. government agencies and many NATO allies and partner nations.”

Yep, the Company can name-drop NATO allies as its downline customer prospects.

Compelling as the aforementioned is or may be, we are focused on a quote in the same release from the president and CEO. As you’ll recall in the last release March 16th, 2021, the Company announced that it was officially sponsored by U.S. military authorities to integrate certain of the Company’s networked soldier applications into ATAK.

According to KWESST’s CEO, that announcement required action, good action:

“Since then, (the previous press release) we have received many requests from government agencies and defence contractors in Canada and overseas to assist them with integrating their current or new applications into ATAK and providing through-life support,” said Jeff MacLeod, KWESST President and CEO. He added that, “We are already engaged with a number of customers and have many others in the queue. As a result, we are ramping up a dedicated practice for this and leveraging our expertise in ATAK integration.”

For us it’s the Company leaning into success, preparing to land new business if it comes, and making sure there is bandwidth for growth.

For a Company with a pretty strong pedigree in battlefield management systems integration we’d call it going on the ATAK.

Emerging Markets Report: The Mushroom Movement



An Emerging Markets Sponsored Commentary

ORLANDO, Fla., April 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A short while ago we introduced our readers to Mind Cure Health Inc. (CSE: MCUR) (OTCQB: MCURF) (FRA: 6MH) which is “focused on finding new ways to treat the profound distress of a world suffering from a mental health crisis” and pursuing “the tremendous opportunity to bring a new category of psychoactive and psychedelic treatments to market.”

And while the Company hasn’t issued any news since we last published, significant news in the world of psychedelics and human use has been made. For a Company like Mind Cure Health, positioned at the intersection of psychedelic discovery and human health care, this news could be the beginning of something seismic.

DC Initiative 81, which passed overwhelmingly last fall, just went into effect on March 15. Per the “Entheogenic Plant and Fungus Policy Act of 2020,” natural psychedelics such as magic mushrooms, ayahuasca, and mescaline are effectively decriminalized, making arrests for their possession or use the lowest priority for D.C. police.

This is a potentially transformative moment for mushroom use and acceptance. One of the largest municipalities in the country is essentially saying it’s ok to use them. And this movement bodes well for companies entrenched in psychedelic development and acceptance.

It’s simple. Initiatives like this one in D.C. start to take away the spectre of extreme danger and move hearts and minds on reasonable use. Additionally, as with cannabis, legalization in unrestricted states gave fence sitters on the matter a real time case study to see that the relaxation of laws wasn’t making the public crazy or causing an array of other social ills.

This makes it all that more easier to administer psychedelic therapeutics to patients who once viewed mushrooms and other psychedelics through a much different lens.

Remember, Mind Cure’s focus is on three key psychedelic divisions: direct to consumer products, technology with their iSTRYM and Psycollage platforms, and psychedelic research and drug development. They also have a strategic investment in clinics. Leveraging big data and cutting edge technology, MINDCURE is transforming mental health and pain treatment.

And if cannabis is precedent for the advent and acceptance of the amazing mushroom, D.C. is likely just the first of many substantial regulatory walls to fall as Mind Cure prepares its product portfolio for what could soon be an enormous opportunity.

Syracuse University Partners with Syracuse City School District to Provide Pathways to Higher Learning

In partnership with the Syracuse City School District, the University will offer scholarships to up to 36 rising high school juniors to explore college life through its Summer College Program.

Syracuse, NY, April 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Syracuse University embraces its commitment to promoting positive change that simultaneously advances knowledge and opportunity for all citizens. A large part of that commitment is providing access to a Syracuse University education to local high school students. In partnership with the Syracuse City School District, the University will offer scholarships to up to 36 rising high school juniors to explore college life through its Summer College Program. Sponsorship of the city school students was made possible, in part, through a generous donation from IBEW Local 43 and the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) Finger Lakes Chapter.

“We are thrilled to add IBEW and NECA to our group of foundations, organizations, and schools that collectively support student participation in our Summer College courses.” says Syracuse University Vice Chancellor for Strategic Initiatives and Innovation Mike Haynie. “This is especially important as it allows us to provide scholarships to students here in Syracuse. We’re proud to partner with the Syracuse City School District to introduce students to potential educational and career pathways, providing them with valuable insight into future opportunities in advance of graduating high school. IBEW and NECA is helping to make this happen.” 

Mayor Ben Walsh said that by exposing young people to a real college class and introducing them to other college-bound students, SU’s Summer College Program will give students an even greater likelihood of success beyond high school “This summer pre-college experience offers a roadmap to help 36 students achieve their dreams,” he says. “I want to thank SU, the Syracuse City School District and the IBEW Local 43 and the National Electrical Contractors Association for making this program available to our young people. It will be an exciting summer for these rising juniors.”

Jaime Alicea, superintendent of the Syracuse City School District, echoed the mayor’s statement. “Summer College is an excellent opportunity for our students to experience and explore what college is going to really be like,” says Alicea. “Through this partnership with IBEW and NECA, Syracuse University and University College, we are showing our students that their future is limitless and they can and will be successful in college if that is the path they choose.”  

When the IBEW Local 43 and Finger Lakes NECA Chapter heard that Syracuse University was partnering with the Syracuse City School District to give high school students the opportunity to attend their Summer College Program, they wanted to help. “High school students may often feel overwhelmed about the college process or may believe going to college is unattainable,” says Alan Marzullo, business manager and financial secretary for IBEW Local 43. “We take pride in helping students gain access to higher education by providing them an opportunity to discover their future goals and receive the tools necessary to achieve them.”

“Syracuse University has a long tradition of creating valuable opportunities for students in the community by giving them authentic college experiences,” says Michael Frasciello, dean of University College. “We encourage other businesses and organizations to consider sponsoring academic programs that expose students in our community to the transformational power of a college education.”

 In Summer College, high school students can explore potential majors and experience college life in credit and noncredit courses for three or six weeks. For more information about pre-college programs or how to sponsor high school students, email [email protected].

“The continued growth of our European Corporate Finance business remains a priority for the firm, and adding sector coverage in areas where we see strong demand from our clients and where we believe we have a competitive advantage is a key part of the growth strategy. The wealth of expertise that Paul and Andrew bring to the firm, combined with the strength of our outstanding US Healthcare group, will be of huge benefit to our European clients,” said Shaun Browne, Co-Head of European Corporate Finance at Houlihan Lokey.

Over the past six years, the firm has grown its European Corporate Finance business through a series of acquisitions and strategic hires. Houlihan Lokey now has more than 260 bankers in Europe, up from 80 in 2014.

The unique culture of the firm, the importance placed on teamwork, and the unerring focus on superior client outcomes are a few of the many factors that attracted me to the firm, and I look forward to contributing to the continued success of the firm,” commented Mr. Tomasic.
