On Tuesday, charity The Blue Cross invested what we understand to be £150,000 into its campaign to ban greyhound racing. The five-year campaign hit its one-year anniversary yesterday. Despite this, the Blue Cross attempted to mislead reporters that the campaign is entirely new as part of an immoral move to place widespread media coverage which our team uncovered. The charity says the sport is "inherently dangerous" for the dogs and have made several quite extraordinary claims against it while refusing to publish any evidence. Through our work at Oxford Stadium, we have repeatedly called on the charity to release its evidence and engage with the sport to understand its present-day operation by attending a fixture and a Greyhound Board of Great Britain licensed training facility. After 10 months without a response, the charity agreed on a live radio broadcast yesterday to attend a facility. They did not confirm if any evidence would be released. Injuries happen, of course they do - they happen in all animal-based sports. So why is the Blue Cross solely targeting greyhound racing - a sport where the dogs are subject to far higher welfare standards than any domestic pet? Thanks to the industry, the greyhound is the most accountable breed of any dog in the UK and the sport's latest 'welfare' stats are: - 95% rehoming rate - 1.23% injury rate - 0.03% fatality rate It was pleasing to get these points across to the mainstream media yesterday who were all invited to the stadium's weekly trials session. Job well done 👍 #MediaRelations #GreyhoundRacing #SportPR #Communications.

Did you know our future sports stars like the WADE family, that represent Ireland each year have parents that save every penny to help their children get close to their dream. Mizzoni's Pizza help them every tournament by donating funds. But they need more support. The Government give these aspiring young athletes that represent Ireland's brand so proundly - ZERO funds... Not even €1.... Thats right, Sporting Ireland and other organisations that get very small funds from the government do NOT have enough funds for our individual sports athletes across the board. Instead group sports like GAA get the pool of funds. More needs to be said about this. When you consider countries similar to Ireland like the UK and Australia, the government and major sponors get involved with young talent paying for all their travel, sports wear, physio, etc etc... Not in Ireland...... A whooping €95 Million euros goes to animal racing! Let that sink in.... Animal racing is more important to fund then Irish children with dreams of being world champions. Not to mention their parents have lost their lives as they literally count pennies on a daily basis, beg companies to pay for flights, accommodation, and Parents also have to pay for the fees and memberships of sporting groups...... If you think this is wrong, and families like the Wade family should get governemnt support - let us know in the comment section: But before you do - relax and order one of our pizzas online at the below link: unless your training for a competition 😀

🧩✨ #AutismAwareness Top 36 Golf Course Rankings: Post 30 - Course #7⛳️ 🧩 🚨 $11,053 of $15,000 (74%) goal raised 🚨 💰 DONATE - Please help us get there by donating $36 today: https://lnkd.in/e4MFcQfd To represent the 1 in 36 kids affected by Autism in the US, I will be counting down my Top 36 Golf Courses that I have ever played with a short story/memory for each. If you could please consider donating $36 (or more) to Els for Autism via the link above, I would appreciate it ❤️ Golf Course #7 - Trump Turnberry (Ailsa) For course #7 we stay across the pond in Scotland to play the famous Turnberry (Ailsa) course. Founded in 1899 by Archibald Kennedy, 3rd Marquess of Ailsa, the idea for the course came about when a main railroad & passenger train was built close by and the land was not fertile enough for agriculture, thus making a golf course & hotel an excellent money making opportunity. Archibald hired 1883 Open Champion, Willie Fernie, to come in and design the course, which at the time was only 13 holes, and the project was overall successful, luring many golfers from all over Britain who stayed and played Turnberry. Unfortunately, this success was short-lived, because when the World Wars happened, it was decided that the course should be used as an airbase and the hotel as a hospital, as the coastline was too valuable to pass up. The course was essentially ruined as a result. It was not until after the wars when British Transport Hotels convinced government that the course and hotel should be restored, and thankfully for us golfers, the project was approved and architect Mackenzie Ross made it the 18-hole championship masterpiece it now is today. Since then, it has now hosted the Open Championship 4 times, the last being 2009 when Tom Watson famously almost became the oldest major championship winner at age 61, bogeying the last hole and losing in a sudden death playoff to Stewart Cink. I got to play Turnberry in 2018, and talk about a course that is jaw dropping! When you make the turn out on the coast, playing holes alongside the cliffs with the famous lighthouse in view, it is a spiritual experience. Not to mention the course is a very fair test; it’s not short, it’s not long, it rewards good shots and penalizes bad ones. Oh, and the walk down 18 with the hotel in the background isn’t bad either! A true joy to play and I hope to do it again one day ⛳️

Transform Your Sports Club: Declutter, Fundraise, and Go Green! As passionate sports enthusiasts, members of sports clubs or having sporty kids, you'll know sports gear accumulates over time. From last season's boots, trainers and tops to bats, clubs and balls, the pile grows!! One day you'll open that cupboard, shed or garage and find your sporting goods have taken over your valuable space. While having the right equipment is essential, why hang on to items that are too small or no longer used. Having a way to pass on these "space grabbers" is equally important and having a declutter is very therapeutic!

Let's all get behind a great cause to support mental health and save some lives!!! The WHO: A bunch of great Americans. The WHAT: Call to arms for support of an extremely powerful mission! Troops First Foundation is engaged in the deadly battle for the mental health and well-being of America’s great Warriors! We are in great need of corporate sponsors, foursome teams, and raffle gifts/donations. The WHEN, AND WHERE: The National University presents Feherty’s Troops First Foundation’s Ghosts, Ghouls, and Golf October 30, 2023 at 8:30 AM Raspberry Falls Golf & Hunt Club: 41601 Raspberry Drive | Leesburg, VA 20176 The WHY: Your contribution will go a long way in assisting our ability to reach into the lives of many warriors and first responders. Troops First Foundation is dedicated to the welfare of our heroes, with a specific emphasis on mental health and well-being. Our programs are designed to impact various aspects of resilience and the reintegration of our brave men and women into civil society. The Foundation’s Operation Warrior Call initiative addresses the most tragic and devastating crisis faced by our heroes. The feeling of isolation and depression is crippling; suicide often seems the only solution! The Warrior Call Team gets out there and discusses our experience, past struggles, and way forward. Our ethos is based on three simple elements – make a call, take a call, and be honest. Open and honest conversations within our “tribe” have proven to have been the only true medicine for many of us. Over the past couple of years, our Warrior Call Team has traveled to various military installations in Germany, Alaska, and the continental United States. During these Operation Warrior Call engagements, we have touched the lives of over 16,000 Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines. Their feedback has been great, and the value of the mission is immeasurable. BOTTOM LINE: Your time, effort, and generosity truly matter! THANK YOU!!! The HOW: The window of opportunity to support Operation Warrior Call is quickly coming to a close! Please forward this plea to all that may have the resources and willingness! Below is the link to signup: https://lnkd.in/eBV_f_ru We already have multiple Warrior Call Engagements scheduled to include 29 Palms, CA and JBER, AK in the near future. The funds raised in this tournament will immediately aid in ensuring mission success. Again, please spread the word – any and all support is greatly appreciated!!! COMMUNICATION: Chatting may be the easiest way to ensure accuracy of expectations and economy of motion. Feel free to reach out and give us your contact numbers – texting and DM is the most efficient medium of communication for me. Sincerely, your tournament chair, Joe Healey Chairperson Warrior Call Team Member 910-580-8407 [email protected] Warrior Call Links: https://lnkd.in/ejbRS2sV https://warriorcall.org/

Founder at TurnBerry Acai | Over 25,000 Bowls Sold since December Launch | Director of Corporate Development at CarCover | Over 200+ Partnerships & Headlined 2 RV SuperShows since B2B Launch in July 2023
Creating Community Impact, One Bowl at a Time 🏌️♂️ Yesterday, TurnBerry Acai had the privilege of being part of something bigger than ourselves. We joined forces with the Canada Shriners Hospital for their 13th Annual Invitational at Summerlea Golf & Country Club. The goal? To raise $1 million for life-changing medical imaging technology that keeps children safe. When we launched TurnBerry Acai 7 months ago, we didn’t just set out to make the best acai bowls in the city — we set out to make a difference. Our mission quickly evolved into "creating an everlasting community impact that transcends acai. One bowl at a time. One city at a time." 🌍 From university campuses to charity events like this one, being there for our community isn’t just a priority—it’s who we are. And no matter how fast we grow, this will never change. Should've prepped the 150 bowls in advance, but I've always been a crash course type of student haha! Could've been a disaster if dad was not here to carry the boat (insert David Goggins)! PS: I was a bit starstruck when I got to meet Montreal Canadiens' legend Chris Nilan haha! Can't forget my Junior A teammate and Hockey Saint-Laurent legend Jaden Lang 🏒 #CommunityImpact #TurnBerryAcai #CanadaShriners #AcaiForACause #GrowthMindset
