HOLLYWOOD, Fla., March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Hard Rock Heals Foundation, the charitable arm of Hard Rock International, announced its “Stay Strong Jamaica” relief effort raised over $400,000 to support Jamaica’s recovery from Hurricane Melissa, the Category 5 storm that struck in October 2025, causing nearly $9 billion in damages and leaving thousands homeless. The Foundation’s donation was provided to support housing, infrastructure repair, and humanitarian aid through Jamaica’s Promise, a non-profit organization that provides resources and support needed by local organizations. 

The “Stay Strong Jamaica” initiative brought together fundraising efforts by the company’s six Seminole Gaming locations in Florida, team members, guests and Hard Rock Heals Foundation leadership in a unified response to the storm’s devastating impact on the island. A special benefit concert held January 2, 2026 at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood featured celebrated Jamaican artists Shaggy, Julian Marley, Inner Circle, Marcia Griffiths, Wayne Wonder, Etana, and more to honor Jamaica’s culture and the country’s resilience. Hard Rock International and Seminole Gaming contributed $100,000 to Hard Rock Heals Foundation to support the relief efforts.

“With so many Hard Rock and Seminole Gaming team members from Jamaica — including more than 300 at our Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood property alone — this Hurricane Melissa relief effort was truly personal for us. From our team members to our guests, everyone came together with one goal: to help the people of Jamaica recover and rebuild,” said David Hoenemeyer, COO of Seminole Gaming.

“Jamaica is deeply grateful to the Hard Rock Heals Foundation, Hard Rock and Seminole Gaming and their team members and guests for their generosity and commitment to Jamaica’s recovery. This major contribution will make a tangible difference in the lives of thousands of Jamaicans who lost so much to Hurricane Melissa, and with partners like Hard Rock Heals Foundation standing with us, we know Jamaica will rebuild stronger than ever,” said Olivia Grange, Jamaica’s Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport.

“We are proud to partner with the Hard Rock Heals Foundation on this important relief effort and are deeply encouraged by the more than $400,000 raised to support Jamaica’s recovery,” said Chris Benjamin, Board Member of Jamaica’s Promise. “These funds will be directed to national recovery initiatives through the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM), helping to ensure timely and meaningful support reaches those most impacted by Hurricane Melissa. This collaboration reflects the power of partnership in helping communities rebuild and move forward.”

Hoenemeyer made a ceremonial check presentation on behalf of the Hard Rock Heals Foundation to Chris Benjamin, Board Member and Director of Jamaica’s Promise on March 20, 2026 joined by the honorable Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport Olivia Grange and Oliver Mair Jamaica’s Consul General to Miami at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood.

ROVANIEMI, Finland, March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO) (NASDAQ: DOO) is proud to announce the winners of the 6th edition of its International Design Challenge in Rovaniemi, Finland. This year’s design challenge brought together approximately 70 students from 8 universities* based in Finland, Canada, USA, France and the UK. Participants were invited to imagine an innovative vehicle architecture for an emergency response vehicle (ERV), integrating several of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

Endorsed by the World Design Organization, the BRP International Design Challenge enables students to put into practice their design thinking approach and creative skills while benefiting from mentoring from both their professors and BRP design professionals. The event reflects BRP’s ongoing commitment to nurturing the next generation of design professionals and strengthening collaboration between academia and industry.

“Returning to Rovaniemi and witnessing our finalists immerse themselves in such a meaningful experience is truly inspiring. I am very grateful to the University of Lapland for welcoming us, and I would also like to express my gratitude to professors and mentors, as well as to our jury members,” said Denys Lapointe, Chief Design Officer at BRP. “The Design Challenge continues to demonstrate the importance of empowering young talent and giving them the space to explore bold ideas. Each edition strengthens our belief that collaboration across generations is essential to shaping the future of mobility, and that great design knows no boundaries. I thank all the participants for their hard work and dedication and offer my warmest congratulations to our finalists and winners.”

And the winners are…

Through its Design Challenge, BRP celebrates the creativity and ingenuity of design students developing pragmatic solutions to environmental and natural disasters. Out of nearly 70 entries, 10 were selected as finalists, with at least one representing each university. The chosen students, accompanied by some of their professors, travelled to Lapland for a week of networking, learning, and immersion in northern design culture as part of the Arctic Design Week Goes Campus, hosted by the University of Lapland in Rovaniemi, Finland.

First prize

The first‑prize winner is Valentin Leboucher from Rubika in France. Valentin’s concept seduced the jury with a very clever two‑in‑one vehicle architecture designed to tackle wildfires. The two‑passenger vehicle enables firefighters to approach the fire zone safely and then transforms into a protective base from which they can remotely operate a hose‑carrying rover positioned much closer to the intense flames.

Valentin’s concept stood out for its thoroughness across all aspects of the design challenge. As the first‑place winner, he will be offered a six‑month paid internship at BRP’s world‑class Design & Innovation Center in Valcourt, Canada.

Second prize

Second place was awarded to Kirtish Gaood from the College for Creative Studies in the U.S. Kirtish chose to focus on mudslides in Northern India. The jury appreciated the potential versatility of his concept and its analogy to traditional Sherpas, which inspired the project’s name. His minimalist product architecture and narrow footprint offer agility and responsiveness, allowing access to damaged terrain and enabling the rapid evacuation of people to safe zones. Kirtish’s project emphasizes deploying multiple units in critical situations where every second counts.

As the second‑place winner, he receives a monetary prize of 3,000 euros.

Third Prize

Third place goes to Antoine Rupp from Rubika in France. Antoine chose to develop a lifesaving solution for flood situations. His concept demonstrates strong empathy for injured victims through a system designed to smoothen the ride back using independently suspended linkages. The unique functionality of the vehicle introduces several clever features that help ease lifesaving manoeuvers.

As the third‑place winner, Antoine receives a monetary prize of 1,500 euros.

Design as a lever of growth for communities

BRP has a long-standing history of placing design and innovation at the centre of its philosophy and operations. By unveiling the winners during the Arctic Design Week Goes Campus, BRP emphasizes the essential role of design as a catalyst for regional development and cultural identity.

“Rovaniemi is proud to welcome initiatives that bring together students, educators, and industry leaders from around the world. Events such as the Arctic Design Week Goes Campus and BRP’s International Design Challenge enhance the city’s international visibility and affirm our position as a hub for northern design and innovative thinking,” said Ulla‑Kirsikka Vainio, Mayor of Rovaniemi.

“Welcoming BRP and the Design Challenge to Arctic Design Week Goes Campus reflects the University of Lapland’s commitment to advancing knowledge and innovation for the North and beyond. This collaboration offers our students a unique chance to engage with professionals and peers from around the globe and to develop meaningful and innovative solutions,” said Antti Syväjärvi, Rector, University of Lapland.

^{* Participating institutions: College for Creative Studies (Detroit, USA); Humber College (Toronto, Canada); LAB University of Applied Sciences (Lahti, Finland); Royal College of Art (London, UK); Rubika (Valenciennes, France); Strate School of Design (Paris, France); Université de Montréal (Montreal, Canada); University of Lapland (Rovaniemi, Finland).}

MISSION, Kan., March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hunter Nation, the nation’s foremost advocate for hunters, today celebrated a landmark Department of the Interior (DOI) and National Park Service (NPS) initiative that puts hunters on the frontlines of conservation. The program expands opportunities for qualified volunteers to manage and humanely remove destructive invasive species at Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve in Louisiana and Cumberland Island National Seashore in Georgia.

This vital initiative, a direct result of Secretary’s Order 3447, proves once again that hunters are America’s most effective and passionate conservationists. It empowers skilled volunteers to become active partners in the fight to protect our nation’s precious wetlands, native wildlife, and sensitive habitats from invasive nutria and feral hogs.

Keith Mark, Founder and CEO of Hunter Nation, stated: “Secretary Doug Burgum is demonstrating the kind of bold, effective leadership we need by deploying America’s most dedicated conservationists—our hunters—to solve real-world problems. This initiative perfectly embodies President Trump’s ‘Make America Beautiful Again’ vision by cutting red tape and recognizing that hunters are, and always have been, the true stewards of our lands. We praise Secretary Burgum and the Trump Administration for putting hunters on the frontlines to protect our national treasures.”

Ted Nugent, Hunter Nation board member and passionate outdoorsman, added: “Bravo to Secretary Doug Burgum for unleashing the ultimate conservation force—the American hunter! This is exactly what President Trump’s ‘Make America Beautiful Again’ vision is all about: less bureaucracy and more citizen-stewards healing the land. This is a resounding declaration that the most effective conservation happens when you trust the people who live and breathe the outdoor lifestyle to be on the frontlines.”

Tim Rupli, a Hunter Nation board member and former White House Liaison to the Department of the Interior, commented: “Secretary’s Order 3447 is a smart, efficient, and powerful policy. It places skilled volunteers directly on the frontlines of conservation, addressing the critical damage caused by invasive species. This is a targeted, effective strategy that strengthens our natural resources by leveraging the passion and expertise of the hunting community.”

Kelby Seanor, Georgia State Director for Hunter Nation, said: “As the Georgia State Director for Hunter Nation, I am thrilled to see the Department of the Interior empower our local hunters to help preserve the unique beauty of Cumberland Island National Seashore. This is a win for Georgia’s natural resources and for the responsible sportsmen and women who are on the frontlines of conservation, ready to volunteer their skills to protect our coastal habitats from the destructive impact of feral hogs.”

Sheila Musso, Louisiana State Director for Hunter Nation, added: “In Louisiana, we live the reality of invasive species every day. This initiative puts our skilled local hunters on the frontlines, directly defending the priceless wetlands of the Barataria Preserve. We are deeply grateful to Secretary Burgum for recognizing that Louisiana’s hunters are the most passionate and effective partners we have in managing wildlife and protecting our unique bayou ecosystem for future generations.”

The NPS program will allow qualified participants to assist with controlled hunting and trapping to reduce feral hog and nutria populations, which cause significant damage to sea turtle nesting beaches, cultural sites, and vital wetlands.

ST. CROIX, U.S. Virgin Islands, March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The U.S. Virgin Islands welcomed distinguished guests, golf enthusiasts, and community leaders to St. Croix this weekend for the successful Governor Albert Bryan Jr. Golf Classic, a three-day event rooted in community engagement, philanthropy, and reinvestment in the territory’s future. Proceeds from the weekend will support the next generation of leaders through Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG).

Held March 13–15 and hosted at the historic The Buccaneer Beach & Golf Resort, the event brought together residents, visiting guests, and partners in a shared commitment to youth development and opportunity. The weekend included an exclusive welcome reception at Government House featuring a performance by Adam O, a signature whiskey and cigar experience at Cane Garden, and a premier golf tournament at the Buccaneer Golf Course overlooking the Caribbean Sea—each designed to foster connection, collaboration, and community impact.

As part of the weekend’s focus on youth engagement and leadership development, local and national JAG students participated in a media appearance alongside Governor Bryan, highlighting the program’s impact and amplifying youth voices within the community. The Governor also hosted a JAG Mini Summit at Government House, engaging more than 70 students and providing a platform for them to share firsthand the positive impact the program has had on their lives. During the session, Governor Bryan delivered a presentation on leadership and took time to engage in one-on-one discussions with students, reinforcing the importance of mentorship, opportunity, and personal growth.

The event attracted notable guests, including television personality Shamea Morton Mwangi, legendary football coach and Hall of Fame athlete Deion Sanders, and Jimmy McMikle, Grand Polemarch of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., who joined local leaders and supporters in advancing the weekend’s mission of investing in youth and strengthening communities.

Proceeds from the tournament will benefit Jobs for America’s Graduates, a national nonprofit dedicated to helping young people overcome barriers to graduation and achieve career success. Governor Albert Bryan Jr. currently serves as the first Black chair of the organization’s national board. Also in attendance were JAG leadership, including CEO Janelle Duray and National Student President Austin Smalls of Grambling State University, underscoring the national and local impact of the program.

“Bringing people together in a place as special as St. Croix to invest in our young people is what this weekend represents,” said Governor Albert Bryan Jr. “Through strong public-private partnerships and a shared commitment to community, we are creating opportunities that empower the next generation with the tools, confidence, and support they need to succeed.”

The success of the Governor’s Golf Classic reflects the strength of collaboration between the public and private sectors, demonstrating how strategic partnerships can drive meaningful outcomes for the territory. Beyond the competition on the course, the event served as a platform to highlight the Virgin Islands’ commitment to community-centered tourism—where economic activity is directly tied to reinvestment in people and programs that strengthen the islands.

Bluey and her sister Bingo appear live on stage during set times throughout the day, joining a group of comedic performers and musicians. Extra laughs, playful surprises and a little bit of delightful chaos are added when Chattermax, Unicorse and a troupe of Grannies join the fun on stage. Together, they bring popular games and cheeky dance moves from the series to the stage for real life, underscored by new musical arrangements of iconic songs from the animated series played live by a five-piece band.

In addition to the on-stage fun, families will find storytelling, games and dance-alongs on the upper and lower grounds of the venue, where they can explore the real life Fairy Garden and Gnome Village, race Barky Boats and hop on Bluey’s helicopter stump for a pretend ride to wherever their friends need them.

Families can capture their memories with unique photo opportunities including striking a pose with Bluey’s family car and joining in with Bluey’s school class photo.
