"The evidence of Saudi government officials' participation in the 9/11 attacks on America could not be clearer," said 9/11 Justice founder Brett Eagleson, "and this event could not be more insulting."

MIAMI - October 26, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

A group of 9/11 family members and survivors from the organization 9/11 Justice will hold a press conference vocalizing their objections to the Saudi Arabian-funded LIV Golf series and its tournament being held at the nearby Trump National Doral Golf Club on October 28-30.

The 9/11 family members will address their views and contentions, which include:

- The Saudi government's role in supporting the 9/11 terrorist attacks, including about recently declassified FBI investigative documents;
- The implications of Saudi efforts to "sportswash" its egregious past; 
- The willing complicity of professional golfers choosing to take Saudi payouts and look the other way on the country's reported human rights abuses and role in the worst terrorist attacks on American soil.

"As yet another Saudi-funded golf tournament takes place in America this week, Americans must understand that this LIV Golf series, hosted next at Trump Doral, is yet another attempt by the Kingdom to use the beloved game of golf to sportswash its abhorrent behavior and avoid accountability for the murder of my dad and thousands of others," said Brett Eagleson of 9/11 Justice. "The evidence of Saudi government officials' participation in the 9/11 attacks on America could not be clearer, and this event could not be more insulting. That's why we're speaking out and will continue to as the Saudis fund LIV Golf events in America."

Press Conference Details:

When: Thursday, Oct. 27, 2022, 9:00 a.m. ET

Where: Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, 3570 NW 74th Avenue, Miami, FL 33122

Who: Numerous 9/11 family members and survivors who have flown to Miami to express their outrage. Speakers at the press conference and those available for interviews include:

- Brett Eagleson, President of 9/11 Justice and son of John Bruce Eagleson, who was murdered in the South Tower of the World Trade Center.
- Tim Frolich, a 9/11 survivor who was on the 80th floor and was severely injured when the South Tower collapsed.
- Juliette Scauso, daughter of FDNY Hazmat Co. 1 Firefighter Dennis Scauso, who was murdered in the evacuation efforts of the South Tower.
- Dennis McGinley, whose older brother Danny was murdered in the collapse of the WTC South Tower.

Tony Hawk's Skatepark Hero brings together skateboarders for a chance to roll with the Birdman himself

PHOENIX, March 21, 2023 (Newswire.com) - You don't have to be in the skateboarding scene to know and love the legend Tony Hawk. Not only is he the most accomplished professional skateboarder, but he is an innovator, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and all-around good guy. By 14, he'd turned pro, and by 16, he was widely considered the best skateboarder on earth. He was world champion 12 years in a row and is a 16-time X Games medalist. In 1999, he became the first skater to ever complete a 900, the holy grail of vert skating. He has invented over 100 tricks but retired from competition in 1999, with a few relapses. And although he no longer competes, he remains active in promoting the sport skating demos and making appearances worldwide.  He has created a Tony Hawk brand that includes Birdhouse Skateboards, Hawk Clothing, and the Tony Hawk Signature Series sporting goods and toys, in addition to his billion-dollar video game franchise, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. And in 2002, Tony launched his charitable organization, The Skatepark Project. 

Now, it's time to roll with the legend. Colossal Management is stoked to announce a legendary partnership with Hawk to raise awareness and donations for The Skatepark Project. Colossal is changing the face of professional fundraising by running online competitions that benefit many different people. 

In this case, there will be two winners. A "People's Choice," where one fan favorite will capture the hearts of the public and be voted the Skatepark Hero of 2023, obtaining a once-in-a-lifetime prize including $10,000 and a skate session with Tony himself. And if that isn't exciting enough, one talented skater will be deemed "Tony's Pick," where Hawk will choose one skater with the most creative boardslide and/or lipslide. All entrants will have the opportunity to work on and perfect these tricks throughout the Competition. 

Tony Hawk's Skatepark Hero will be operated by Colossal as part of a fundraising campaign on behalf of DTCare. Donations from votes cast during the Competition will go directly to DTCare, which will then grant the donations to The Skatepark Project, minus Competition fees and costs, to help underserved communities create safe and inclusive public skateparks for youth. Colossal is proud to support this organization in their mission to issue grants to low-income communities by building quality public skateparks and providing guidance to city officials, parents, and children.

"Skateboarding has more depth than just sport. It's about inclusivity, creativity, and community," Hawk says. 

Visit Colossal for more information on Tony Hawk's Skatepark Hero and to learn more about how the Competition works. Visit skatepark.org for more on The Skatepark Project.

Glugeth & Pierguidi, P.C. is Offering NYC and NJ Free Rides During New Year's Celebrations

HOBOKEN, N.J. - December 27, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

In an effort to reduce drunk driving accidents this holiday season, Glugeth & Pierguidi, P.C. is proud to offer a New Year's Eve free ride to anyone celebrating this year. The campaign, which takes place in the New Jersey/New York City metropolitan area, will provide reimbursements for those who use an Uber, Lyft, or taxi instead of driving. 

Why You Should Take a Free Ride in New York City or New Jersey This Year

The New Year's festivities in New York City is one of the largest in the world.

According to the National Safety Council (NSC), around 36% of all fatalities during the New Year's Holiday in 2019 involved a drunk driver. In fact, 2019 data from the City of New York indicates that there were 22 crashes involving a drunk driver over both New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Most accidents happened before 8 AM on New Year's Day, and most involved an injury or fatality. 

From this data alone, it's easy to see why so many people are so adamant about driving safely during the New Year holiday. In the New Jersey/New York City area, it's especially important because of the high number of drunk driving related injuries and deaths.

How to Get Your Free Ride

If you find yourself drinking on New Year's Eve, simply get a ride in an Uber, Lyft, or taxi. Once you get to your final destination, send a copy of your receipt and your ID to the following address within 10 business days:

Glugeth & Pierguidi, P.C.
5 Marine View Plaza, Suite 303, Hoboken, NJ 07030

To qualify for a free Uber or Lyft ride, you must meet the following requirements:

• The ride must be taken within the NYC or New Jersey metropolitan area;
• You must be of legal drinking age (i.e. 21 or older);
• Reimbursement is only valid for a single one-way ride;
• The ride must be taken between 5 PM on December 31, 2022 and 10 AM on January 1, 2023; 
• Reimbursement is limited to $30 including a 10% tip.

Keep in mind that reimbursements are limited to the first 100 submissions, so act fast!
