Vantage LED Teams up with Complete Signs to Supply Mobile LED Sign for Charity Golf Tournament Benefiting Children


Fort Walton Beach, FL (PRWEB) April 10, 2013

The 7th annual Children's Neighborhood Charity Golf Classic was held earlier this month at the Ft. Waldon Beach Golf Club. The event supports the efforts of Children in Crisis, Inc to provide care for abused and neglected children in the foster care system. The tournament was a success with a solid turnout of participants and sponsors. Vantage LED was at the event in collaboration with Complete Signs, providing a full color mobile LED display to help communicate to the attendees, and advertise the event.


Established in 2003, Children in Crisis, Inc ...raises and manages the funds to build, staff, and operate The Childrens Neighborhood, a residential style foster care neighborhood. The neighborhood is a group of foster homes, resource centers and other areas that promote a healthy and caring environment for foster children. They currently serve over 100 children per year, and recently added new facilities including, a recreation center, playgrounds, and the Opportunity House: a home for Teens who are transitioning out of the foster care system. The organization hosts a variety of fundraising events each year including live concerts, additional golf tournaments, and other events like Dancing With Desire (this June) featuring entertainment by Dancing with the Stars celebrities.


It was a privilege to offer our demo display to assist the Children in Crisis charity. said James Anderson, Vantage LED Regional Sales Rep. We appreciate the fine work they do to help children in need, and are excited to offer our support in any way we can.


Vantage LED is a California based manufacturer of LED signs with a growing network of dealers across the U.S and Canada. Their products feature a unique approach to the industry like the Dragon Skin protective coating, and their recent partnership with Spectacular Media to provide a cloud based content creation and sign management service called SM Infinity.


Vantage announced in January that key sales representatives throughout the U.S. would be supplied with trailer mounted LED demo displays. This was done on the condition that the displays also be used to promote community and charity events.


We didnt want these trailers to be used strictly for sales demonstrations. said Paul Martin, Director a Marketing, They can really help event organizers to get the word out, and give the project an extra boost. Each representative is required to seek out events for the sign to be used each month.


The trailers are all equipped with Spectacular Medias SM Infinity internet based content and sign management service. This allowed the Vantage LED sales reps to request custom content to be created by the SM Infinity designers specifically for the event, helping to guarantee crystal clear messages that are dynamic and colorful.


Thats one of the nice things about these demo trailers. said Anderson, We can request custom content from the professionals making the signs look as good possible for any event.


Vantage teamed up with Alabama based Complete Signs for the event, a sign company with a national presence and a vested interest in supporting local causes.


Were not your normal sign shop. said Justin Holland, VP of Sales, We provide signage all across the country and take pride in supporting our customers and their local community, wherever that may be.


Established in 1999, Complete Signs supplies a wide variety of signage to customers on a national scale. With a national service network, they can offer nation wide solutions for customers, including permitting, installation, LED signs, custom signage and brand development.


We do what we say we are going to do. said Holland, We stay on top of things and take care of the customer at all times.


According to Holland, they were notified of the event through a friend of a friend, and jumped at the chance to donate time and money to the cause, sending two representatives to meet up with the Vantage LED mobile team who also participated in the tournament.


It went great, we had a ton of people mention the sign. said Holland


Vantage LED and Complete Signs both reported their desire to work with the organization on many more events as well as other community or charity based events in the area.


LED signs are the future of outdoor communication, but can still be cost prohibitive to smaller non-profit or community organizations explained Mr. Martin, Our demo trailers can help bridge that gap and allow their outdoor presence to be as bright and vibrant as their cause.

Sugar Land Dentists at A Beautiful Smile at Lake Pointe Partner with A Soldiers Smile Charity To Offer Discounted Dental Services for Veterans


Sugar Land, TX (PRWEB) March 18, 2013

A Beautiful Smile at Lake Pointe has partnered with A Soldiers Smile, the nonprofit endorsed by Montel Williams, in order to offer discounted dental services for veterans in the Sugar Land area.


Through partnering with A Soldiers Smile, A Beautiful Smile at Lake Pointe will help active-duty soldiers and veterans get the dental care they need but arent otherwise eligible for through the Veterans Administration.


Its important to us to help those who have risked their lives for our nation, said Dr. Lance Jue, the lead Sugar Land dentist at A Beautiful Smile at Lake Pointe. The Veterans Administration does a terrific job caring for our veterans, but their services dont always cover all of a veterans needs.

HairPlaceNYC Continues Tradition of Charity with Recent Donation of Human Hair Wig to Injured Iraqi Girl


New York, NY (PRWEB) April 16, 2013

HairPlaceNYC, a leading New York City salon specializing in hair care and hair replacement solutions, today announced it has continued its long-standing tradition of giving and philanthropy by donating a cut and styled 14" long hand-tied human hair wig to Teeba Furat Fadhil Marlowe, a courageous 11-year-old girl severely injured in Iraq. Located on the upper east side of Manhattan, HairPlaceNYC has offered a range of services such as cutting, coloring and hair styling for more than two decades. HairPlaceNYC is the first salon in New York City to offer both hair care and hair replacement solutions - all in one place.


When Teeba was just 19 months old, she sustained severe burns to her face, head and hands when an insurgent bomb detonated in Iraq near a taxi she was sharing with her father and three-year-old brother. In the explosion, Teeba's father suffered minor injuries, but her brother, Yousef, died on impact. Touched by Teeba's story, Barbara Marlowe, of Ohio, reached out to the family and made the case to bring the then five-year-old Teeba from Iraq to the United States for medical treatment. Under the guardian care of Barbara, Teeba, who now resides in Ohio, has undergone 17 ground-breaking surgeries to repair her burned skin and facial tissue, and has made great strides in both her appearance and self-esteem. However, since Teeba is unable to grow new hair, she is reliant on a natural-looking hair replacement solution.


"Our daughter, Teeba, came from Iraq when she was five years old, severely burned on her hands, face and head, leaving her terribly scarred with virtually no hair," exclaimed Barbara Marlowe. "Teeba recently completed her 17th surgery to repair the skin to her face and yet, the single most important thing to her, was to get hair. She's had a few wigs, and recently we had Andrew outfit her with a wig that has brought such joy and a huge smile to her beautiful face. Thank you, Andrew, for creating the perfect style, length and color for our little angel. This particular wig is lighter in weight and looks like she never lost a hair on her head. We are so very grateful. Andrew is a slice of heaven on Earth!"


"As soon as I heard about Teeba through Carliz Sotelo Teauge, CEO of BeautyandHair.com and Wigs.com, and her journey from Iraq to the United States and how important hair is to her, I knew I wanted to be involved to help her look and feel great," explained Andrew DiSimone, owner and hair stylist at HairPlaceNYC. "We sent Teeba a custom-made, 14" long human hair wig that we cut and styled at my salon in New York City. To help improve the wig fitment and her overall experience, we have invited Teeba and her family to visit HairPlaceNYC where we can fit her with a custom base using a mold of her head. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Teeba's guardian, Barbara, for allowing HairPlaceNYC to offer our hair replacement solutions and services for this great cause!"


AndrewDiSimoneWigs.com is the brainchild of veteran hair stylist and salon owner. Specializing in hair loss, Andrew designed and offers his exclusive line of wigs at the salon. Unlike other wigs, Andrew's line (and medical hair prostheses for cancer patients) is designed using the latest in graft technology, the best hair available, and are hand-tied and attached to Andrew's ultra-thin layered base for maximum comfort, durability and a natural look.


With more than 25 years in the business, DiSimone volunteers weekly at the American Cancer Society's NYC Hope Lodge to cut and style wigs for the Free Wigs Program. Through HairPlaceNYC, DiSimone also manages similar programs such as FreeWigsForKids.org and HairyGodmothers.com where you can sponsor a child wig and keep in touch with that child through their recovery and DonateWig.com where Andrew connects donors of wigs to the recipients in need of a wig who are less fortunate.

Uniwigs.com Always Pays Attention To Poor Children And Calls For Attention To Charity


La Puente, CA (PRWEB) April 25, 2013

Uniwigs.com, a world renowned online wigs selling website, always pay its attention to those poor children. It has just donated to the Save the Children Organization to help children and calls for more people to attention to charity.


Leo, the CEO of uniwigs.com said to his staffs: Hunger, illness, violence, despair, these are facts of life for too many of our children. Every child has the right to grow up happy and healthy. We should try our best to help them. Every person in our company should be a caring person. Of course we cant help all the children in the world, but we should try our best to help them.


Uniwigs.com has just donated to the Save the Children Organization and said they will always commit to charity. We hope that our Giving Pledge will encourage others to give and make the world a better place." said Leo.


Generally speaking, children in need refer to children who are severely threatened in terms of rights to life, development and protection, including those suffering from violence or disability. Uniwigs.com calls for society to pay more attention to the spiritual needs of these children. "The 'attention' we are talking about here is not merely temporary help or pity, but looking squarely at their difficulties, listening to them with respect, making a real difference in their lives and ensuring they enjoy the same rights as other children," said Leo.


Uniwigs.com also has many mono wigs for cancer patients. Monofilament wigs for cancer patients from uniwigs.com are an especially good choice for those with severe or total hair loss because monofilament wig caps are soft and hypoallergenic. But as the labor cost is very high, uniwigs.com cooperated with factory in Asia to reduce its cost. So its price is much lower than other same quality products. We hope uniwigs.com will do better and better in charity and their business.
