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.

Therapy Can Benefit Children with Tactile Sensitivities


Austin, TX (PRWEB) February 13, 2013

Many children with cerebral palsy express discomfort with how they are touched and the objects that touch them, notes Lee Vander Loop, Cerebral Palsy Family Network editor.


In a recent article on Cerebral Palsy Family Network, Vander Loop describes the disorder known as tactile sensitivity, its cause and some therapies to help affected children.


According to Vander Loop, while all children are sensitive to touch from time to time, frequent negative reactions to touch may indicate a problem. She says among the common indications that a child may have an impairment that causes tactile sensitivity are:

Asthma Olympics Teaches Children How to Manage Their Condition


Fulton, MD (PRWEB) March 26, 2013

On Sunday, March 10th the American Lung Association hosted the 18th annual Asthma Olympics, a fun athletic competition for children with asthma. The Asthma Olympics are designed not only to be fun, but also as a tool for educating parents and children on the best ways to manage asthma.


According to JustNebulizers.coms pharmacist Bryan Mercer, Asthmas a manageable disease as long as you know what youre doing. Thats why events like the Asthma Olympics are so important. Families go because theyre fun, but they end up getting useful, sometimes even life-saving information. Plus, it emphasizes the fact that kids dont have to let asthma hold them back. With proper precautions, they can still participate in sports and lead active healthy lives.


Information booths at the Asthma Olympics taught families about avoiding common asthma triggers such as smoke, pollens, mold, and pet hair as well as the importance of and how to take their asthma medications.


Inhalers are a popular way to take asthma medication, but children often have trouble coordinating compressing the inhaler and breathing in, which leads to them not getting the full dose, said Mercer. Nebulizers, on the other hand, create a fine mist for children to breath. The process takes between five and ten minutes, depending on the nebulizer, and ensures your child takes in all their medication. Many adult asthma sufferers also prefer to use nebulizers.


As the Asthma Olympics prove, children can be whatever they want even with asthma. Though the disease may complicate things it shouldnt stop kids from playing and competing in sports.

USO Supports Military Children When They Need it Most


Arlington, VA (PRWEB) April 01, 2013

April is nationally recognized as Month of the Military Child and the USO will honor our nations youngest heroes with events and activities at USO locations worldwide. The USO has a 72-year history of supporting military children as they cope with unique challenges like the stresses of being away from a parent during deployment and what its like when a parent returns home different- adjusting to life with visible and invisible wounds. In the 10 years since the United States invasion of Iraq, the USO has continually adapted to meet the needs of our nations military families.


There are more than 1.2 million children with a parent in the United States military, of those 220,000 have a parent deployed and many have endured the stresses of multiple deployments. Whether they are worrying about a loved one in harms way or facing the challenges that can arise when families are reunited after a lengthy deployment, the USO is standing with them.


The USO adapts to meet the needs of those who need us most. To support our nations youngest heroes, we have made a commitment to providing programs and services to help them lead strong family lives today, tomorrow and in the future, said Susan Thomas, Vice President, USO Warrior and Family Care. The USO provides opportunities for families to stay connected during deployment, comforting them when they are facing unimaginable life challenges, and support their transition when mom or dad returns home.


This month the USO will support our nations littlest heroes with USO programs and events worldwide including:


With You All the Way: Trevor Romain will be engaging in activities around the Nations Capitol including tour stops at Fort Meade and Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, as well as Fort Belvoir in Virginia, where he will officially kick off the Month of the Military Child in a presentation alongside the installation command. Romain will also engage with Congressional leaders on Capitol Hill during an assembly event for the Taking Care of You kits (benefitting children of wounded soldiers) and join a panel of three other family and child health professionals at the second annual With You All the Way Symposium at Fort Belvoir. With You All the Way will then travel to Twentynine Palms, CA to deliver presentations to children of those stationed at the Marine Combat Training Center.


The Little CHAMPS: The book The Little CHAMPS: Child Heroes Attached to Military Personnel follows the children of five service members, each representing a branch of the military, as they cope with deployments, saying goodbye, and when a parent returns home wounded. In addition to providing copies of the book to USO Centers Worldwide, this April the USO will bring the books author, Debbie Fink, to the Pacific Region to present her book and educational curriculum to nearly 6,000 military children.


Sesame Street/USO Experience: The Sesame Street/USO Experience for Military Families made its debut in July 2008, to help families deal with the challenges of deployment and homecomings. Since its inception, the tour has taken its message to more than 368,000 troops and military families and performed 631 shows on 145 military installations in 33 states and 11 countries. Additionally, the tour logged more than 122,000 miles and distributed more than 2 million giveaways. This spring, the tour will once again be hitting the road to visit 42 installations in 8 countries in the Europe and Pacific regions.


USO Centers: USO centers provide a warm and comforting place where troops can connect with home via Internet or telephone. USO centers also provide a place for military families to come together and connect with one another to support each other in difficult times. USO Center events focused on military children for Month of the Military Child include:


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.

Are You Poisoning Your Children at Easter? asks DietAssist


(PRWEB UK) 31 March 2013

The pressure on parents to feed their children chocolate at Easter is enormous. It comes from television, grandparents, friends and children themselves, so is it any wonder good sense goes out the window?


In a recent article from DietAssist, 5 Tips to Survive the Easter Holidays if Youre On a Diet, they highlight some serious concerns about eating chocolate and the damage that occurs to the body from its high sugar content.


But thats not the whole story. DietAssist say that far more problematic for children are the behavioural lessons they learn.


Anyone who has watched children eat chocolate understands the pleasure they derive from eating it. But most parents are blissfully unaware of the the long-term behavioural conditioning that is occurring right in front of their eyes which can affect children through adulthood.


Paul Howard, co-creator of DietAssist says, Most people have been programmed since childhood to view chocolate and sweets as a reward. Parents say things like Youve been a good girl, you can have some chocolate or Behave yourself or therell be no chocolate.


Anyone who is overweight or obese can understand the lifelong difficulties that are associated with losing weight, and thinking back, can probably also recognise the conditioning they received as children and how it is still affecting them now.


With the growing level of obesity in children, DietAssist suggest that parents should start focusing on changing their childrens behaviours towards food. Figures show that around one in three children in the last year of primary school are either overweight or obese.


Obese children have an increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke.


DietAssist say that parents need to be far more conscious of the long-term goals when they make decisions about how much and when they allow their children to eat sweets and chocolate. Otherwise they will be helping their children to become DietAssist customers in 20 or 30 years time.


Although the DietAssist programme is designed to correct the inappropriate conditioning in relation to food that people receive in their lives, they say it is much better to give children a life where this conditioning does not occur in the first place.


The DietAssist programme is the result of over 20 years experience of helping people to lose weight effectively, and uses the latest psychological techniques to avoid the self sabotage and demotivation that dieters commonly experience.


The DietAssist programme helps dieters strengthen their motivation and resolve, and creates the optimum psychological state for success. It is designed to work alongside any weight loss programme or sensible eating plan.


People wishing to learn more about how DietAssist can make losing weight easier can join the 30 Day Weight Loss Challenge, in which members of the public can receive 30 days access to the DietAssist weight loss programme for just
