Students at Summit Middle School launched a community fundraiser, raising $2,930 to support Kids Lacrosse Africa and youth programs in Uganda.

SUMMIT, NJ, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Signature Foundation is proud to announce a youth-led partnership with Lawton C. Johnson Summit Middle School in Summit, New Jersey, where students and families have come together to support Kids Lacrosse Africa (KLA) through an equipment drive and a student-organized lacrosse tournament fundraiser.

The initiative began when the Englert Family reached out to the Signature Foundation to explore ways their sons, Pierce (8th grade), Shaughn (7th grade), and Joey (6th grade), could make a positive impact. What started as a family conversation quickly grew into a school-wide effort, inspiring classmates, coaches, and families to get involved.

A Committee of Young Leaders

A dedicated committee of Summit Middle School students is leading the project with enthusiasm and purpose. Committee members include:

8th Grade
Pierce Englert
Nikos Quesada
Asher Adel
Jack Brupbacher

Declan Rende
Henry Ascher

6th–7th Grade
Joey Englert (6th)
Shaughn Englert (7th)

At the time of writing, the student-led committee has already raised $2,930, demonstrating the power of youth leadership and community support in action.

A Partnership Rooted in Purpose

Kids Lacrosse Africa provides access to sport, education, mentorship, and leadership development for more than 300 children across Uganda. Through equipment donations and local fundraisers like this one, supporters help KLA expand programming, provide scholarships, and reach new communities, including Adjumani and Palisa, in 2026.

“We are incredibly inspired by these students,” said Maddie Soviero, Director of International Efforts at The Signature Foundation. “Their initiative shows what happens when young people step forward with passion and purpose. This is leadership in action.”

Supporting Kids Across the World

Funds and equipment raised through the drive and tournament will directly support Kids Lacrosse Africa’s efforts to:

•Supply sticks, pads, goals, and gear to young athletes in Uganda
•Expand coaching and leadership development programs
•Provide safe spaces for children to play and learn
•Fund scholarships and meals for students in need

“The fact that middle school students want to support children across the globe says everything about their character,” said Andrew Mamawi, Executive Director of Kids Lacrosse Africa. “We are grateful for the Englert Family, Coach DeFonzo, and every student making this possible.”

A Movement Powered by Youth

For the Signature Foundation, this partnership represents the heart of its mission, empowering young leaders to use sport as a force for good.

“What Pierce, Shaughn, Joey, and the entire Summit Middle School committee are doing is transformational,” said Dan Soviero, CEO of Signature Athletics and Co-Founder of The Signature Foundation. “Their involvement proves that giving back has no age limit. This is how real change begins.”

Redefining Intelligent Visual Experience, Making Professional-Grade Long-Range Shooting Accessible to All Creators

SHENZHEN, GUANGDONG, CHINA, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Farseer, a startup founded by former DJI engineers, has officially entered the intelligent imaging sector with the debut of RocX—the world’s first robotic extreme zoom camera. Taking 2000mm equivalent ultra telephoto zoom capability, this innovative product precisely addresses long-standing technical pain points in traditional telephotography. It delivers a groundbreaking solution for the professional photography industry and has quickly caught widespread attention.

Founding Team
Specializing in the R&D and innovation of intelligent imaging robotics, Farseer’s core team is composed entirely of ex-DJI engineers, bringing together seasoned experts across algorithms, structural design, hardware development, software engineering, and system quality assurance. The team has been deeply involved in the R&D and mass production of a portfolio of iconic imaging products, delivering to the market up to 10+ SKUs with cumulative global sales exceeding 10 million units. Their proven track record lays a solid technological foundation for Farseer’s product innovation.

Core Product
Farseer’s debut product, RocX—The World’s First Robotic Extreme Zoom Camera—takes artificial intelligence as its core driver. Tailored for diverse scenarios including long-distance wildlife photography, concerts, sports event recording, and landscape/portrait creation, traditional telephoto shooting here is often a frustrating battle. Zoom in this tight and everything starts to betray you. Your heartbeat. The wind. Your own breathing. And then the subject moves. A bird breaks from the canopy-forty miles an hour, gone in a second. You’re not tracking that. Nobody is. These are the exact pain points RocX targets.

Equipped with core functions such as automatic high-speed tracking, AI intelligent recognition, automatic anti-shake snapshot, and 50x zoom (20x optical zoom) with an equivalent focal length of 40mm–2000mm, RocX also features a lightweight, portable design and broad cross-device compatibility. Compared with conventional telephoto gear, it fully overcomes the limitations of binoculars (“can see but cannot capture”), smartphones (insufficient telephoto resolution), and professional telephoto cameras (bulky, costly, and inefficient manual tracking)—making professional-grade long-range shooting accessible to all.

Future Vision
Looking ahead, Farseer will optimize RocX’s performance in two core existing scenarios: wildlife photography and sports event recording. Aligned with its vision of “Technology Drives the Future; Crafting Ultimate Imaging Solutions for Creators”, Farseer is committed to leading the global imaging industry, empowering more creators through intelligent imaging technologies and advancing the development of the global visual culture industry.

California roaster processed 40.9 million pounds of coffee while training over 11,000 farmers in sustainability practices

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — San Francisco Bay Coffee has produced 130 million commercially compostable single-serve coffee pods this year, representing a significant portion of the company’s total output of 40.9 million pounds of roasted coffee, enough to fill approximately 250 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

The company’s OneCUP pods are manufactured from plant-based materials. Unlike conventional single-serve pods made from petrochemical plastics, these pods carry BPI certification for commercial composting, breaking down within 84 days under industrial composting conditions.

Consumer data reveals French Roast as the year’s top-selling blend, followed by Organic Rainforest Blend and Fog Chaser. Dark roast profiles dominated sales across all varieties.

The production milestone coincides with the expansion of the company’s Café Rentable Farmer training program, which provided education to 11,087 coffee farmers this year. The initiative focuses on sustainable farming practices at the coffee’s origin.

Single-serve coffee pods have faced scrutiny for contributing to plastic waste in landfills and oceans. The plant-based alternative requires commercial composting facilities, which vary by region. The company advises consumers to verify the capabilities of local facilities, as not all municipal composting programs accept BPI-certified materials.

The pods contain no major allergens and are made from food-grade materials approved for use with consumables. Both the pods and their packaging bags meet commercial composting standards, though they are suitable for home composting or traditional recycling systems.

The shift toward plant-based pod production reflects broader pressure on the single-serve coffee sector to address environmental concerns while maintaining the convenience that has driven category growth. Commercial composting infrastructure remains unevenly distributed, potentially limiting the ecological benefit in areas without access to certified facilities.

About the Company:
Founded by Jon and Barbara Rogers in 1979, San Francisco Bay Coffee is one of the premier coffee makers in California and around the world. San Francisco Bay Coffee boasts over 30 million pounds of coffee annually and believes that everyone who touches the coffee, from the plants to roasted beans to the steaming cup, should benefit from the process. Socially and environmentally conscious, San Francisco Bay Coffee is committed to buying the majority of coffee directly from the 32,000 collaborating farmers to ensure fair pay. Moreover, San Francisco Bay Coffee has built 63 schools, 1,700 housing complexes, and numerous medical and dental centers in partnership with local communities. In 40 years of producing exceptional coffee, San Francisco Bay Coffee has donated more than 10 million coffee plants to coffee-providing farmers. To San Francisco Bay Coffee, everyone is family and should be treated as such!

New study demonstrates significant improvements in medication adherence and 6% lower odds of 30-day readmissions at Magnolia Regional Health Center.

ARLINGTON, VA, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Patients with heart failure who engaged with text messages for more information about their medications had 19% higher odds of filling their prescriptions and 6% lower odds of hospital readmission within 30 days of discharge, according to a new study published in PLOS Digital Health.

The retrospective study, conducted by Magnolia Regional Health Center in Mississippi and health technology pioneer DrFirst, analyzed 1,276 patients with heart failure over a 27-month period, comparing patients who interacted with SMS text nudges to those who didn’t engage with the messages. The research addresses a critical gap in heart failure care, where even small improvements in adherence rates could prevent unnecessary emergency room visits and hospitalizations.

“Congestive heart failure patients face significant challenges with medication adherence, with studies showing that 40% to 60% don’t take their medications as prescribed,” said Ben Long, MD, Director of Hospital Medicine at Magnolia Regional Health Center. “Historically, nearly one in four of these patients is readmitted within 30 days, which creates financial pressures on rural hospitals like ours through Medicare penalties. We needed an innovative, scalable solution that could help our patients stay on their medications after they leave our care, and these personalized texts with prescription information proved to be an effective tool in supporting that goal.”

The information was sent automatically via the DrFirst prescription engagement solution directly from the MEDITECH Expanse e-prescribing workflow. Each message was customized with the patient’s prescriber information and included an interactive link where patients could view medications that were sent to the pharmacy, access educational content, and find copay assistance when available.

“This study demonstrates that personalized, timely interventions delivered directly to mobile devices can make a meaningful difference in keeping patients on track with their treatments,” said Weston Blakeslee, PhD, VP of Clinical Intelligence at DrFirst and co-author of the study. “What’s compelling about this approach is its simplicity and reach. We’re not asking patients to download apps or remember passwords. Information delivered via text messages meets them where they are, on a device they use every day, with information they need to stay healthy. That’s the kind of practical solution that works in the real world.”

In addition to improving adherence and reducing readmissions, other key findings included:
– 92% patient engagement rate: Nearly all patients who received text messages clicked to view their prescription information at least once.
– Low opt-out rate: Only 7.7% of patients chose to stop receiving notifications.
– Strong impact on readmitted patients: Those previously hospitalized who engaged with text reminders showed a 52% increase in odds of filling prescriptions.

Even with significant advances in medication and technology, studies show that non-adherence continues to affect more than half the population and drives over $528 billion in additional healthcare expenses in the U.S. annually. Notably, medication adherence is a strong predictor of positive patient outcomes.

The study authors note that future research will examine the intervention’s impact on additional outcomes, including blood pressure control and long-term cardiovascular events.

Leading Retail Media Ad-tech Company’s Deep Dive Analysis Shows the Single Biggest Growth Opportunity Isn’t Finding New Key Words; It’s Fixing the Broken Ones

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Retail Media IQ (RMIQ.net)), a fast-growing ad-tech firm specializing in retail media optimization, today announced a $500 Retail Media Audit designed to help consumer brands eliminate hidden waste and boost performance across networks including Amazon, Walmart, and other major platforms.

Analysis of Q4 2025 data from 40+ consumer brands reveals a critical two-part inefficiency: on average, 30% of keywords drain budgets while generating zero sales, and up to 90% of all keywords deliver suboptimal results due to inefficient bid pricing—either overpaying and destroying margins, or underpaying and missing sales opportunities entirely. “Most brands assume their retail media results are acceptable because overall ROAS looks reasonable,” said RMIQ CEO Matt Drela. “Our analysis consistently shows that the single biggest growth opportunity isn’t finding new keywords—it’s fixing the broken ones. Roughly a third of keywords generate zero revenue and should be eliminated immediately, while the vast majority of remaining keywords are mispriced, leaving money on the table.”

Comprehensive Account-Level Performance Diagnostic
For $500, RMIQ conducts a complete analysis of a brand’s retail media account—either a single network of choice or across all active retail media networks.
The audit leverages RMIQ’s proprietary Keyword Impact Score (KIS), which measures each keyword’s effect on total campaign ROAS. The report shows the percentage of ad spend allocated across three performance categories:
• Green: Healthy performance—no action required
• Yellow: Inefficient bids (underpayment or overpayment requiring adjustment)
• Red: Wasted ad spend—pause keyword immediately

Beyond the spend breakdown, RMIQ provides projected impact estimates showing how recommended changes would affect overall ROAS and sales volumes. When applicable, the audit also includes recommendations for more efficient budget allocation across multiple retail media networks.
The full analysis is delivered within three business days. All brand data remains confidential. If a brand subsequently engages RMIQ for ongoing services, the full $500 audit fee is credited toward the first month of service.

Why This Matters Now
Retail media advertising surpassed $50 billion in 2025 and is projected to exceed U.S. broadcast TV spending in 2026. Despite this explosive growth, most brands lack keyword-level visibility into their campaigns, resulting in:
• Wasted spend masked by average ROAS performance
• Mispriced keywords that never reach profitability
• Missed revenue on high-intent customer searches
• Inefficient budget allocation across products and competitors
“We’ve documented cases where simply removing or restructuring failed searches improved returns by 2-5× within 30 days,” Drela said. “The audit pays for itself many times over in the first month alone.”

How to Get Started
Brands can request an audit at www.rmiq.net/audit or by contacting the RMIQ team directly by emailing Ralph@rmiq.net. The service is available immediately for Amazon, Walmart, Target, and other major retail media networks.

About Retail Media IQ
Retail Media IQ (www.rmiq.net) provides performance analytics and optimization services for consumer brands advertising across retail media networks. Headquartered in Warsaw with offices in Los Angeles, RMIQ works with dozens of U.S. and European brands—including major CPG and FMCG companies—to improve ROAS, increase new-to-brand customer acquisition, and gain competitive market share. The company’s proprietary platform analyzes keyword performance, SKU-level returns, and marketplace behavior across all major retail media networks.
