The camps will deliver an unforgettable, hands-on experience, combining world-class soccer training, confidence-building activities and immersive Hyundai brand activations that bring the company’s “Next Starts Now” campaign to life.

“At Hyundai we don’t wait for the future, we bring it to life today,” said Sean Gilpin, chief marketing officer, Hyundai Motor America. “By partnering with legends like Mia Hamm and Tim Howard for our youth camps across the U.S., we’re creating meaningful experiences for young players while investing in the athletes and leaders who will shape the sport for decades to come.

Hyundai understands that the future is built through opportunity, confidence, and belief. These camps are about more than drills, they’re about inspiring the NEXT generation of leaders on and off the field.”

“My career has been defined by passion, determination and believing in what’s possible,” said Tim Howard, legendary goalkeeper and former U.S. Men’s National Team captain. “Every time I step on the field with young players, I see that same fire. Hyundai’s commitment to these communities goes beyond sponsorship, it’s a real investment in the future of the game, and I’m proud to be part of it.”

Each camp will feature morning and afternoon sessions designed to develop soccer fundamentals while building confidence, teamwork and leadership in young players of all skill levels, ages 6-12. In addition to world-class coaching, parents and guardians of camp participants will have the opportunity to explore the latest Hyundai vehicles through a ride-and-drive experience and have a chance to win 2026 FIFA World Cup™ tickets.

Three Ways to Change a Life Through Arizona Tax Credits and Traditional Donations

PHOENIX, April 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Business leaders and Arizona taxpayers can directly empower K-12 students by supporting scholarships for underserved, disabled, and foster children in Arizona. The Arizona Individual and Corporate Tax Credits, along with traditional charitable donations, make it possible for individuals and organizations to support Catholic Education Arizona and its mission of transforming the lives of students in the community.  

“Through Arizona tax credits and charitable giving, tax contributors and traditional donors can make a lifelong impact on children. Help us educate underserved, disabled and foster students who are our future work force, neighbors and friends,” shared Nancy Padberg, MBA President & CEO, Catholic Education Arizona.

Private Education Tax Credits
Arizona taxpayers can redirect their state tax dollars to Catholic Education Arizona at no additional cost, funding tuition scholarships for K-12 students attending the 38 Diocese of Phoenix Catholic schools. This opportunity allows taxpayers to direct their tax dollars to causes that align with their values.

Corporate Tax Credits
CEOs and CFOs can invest in future generations and build leaders. Through the Arizona Low-Income and Disabled/Displaced (foster) Corporate Tax Credit programs, corporations can redirect their tax liability to Catholic Education Arizona, helping provide essential scholarship support to those students in need.

“To be able to send my daughter to a school that supports her faith with like-minded individuals surrounding her has helped steer her high school journey into the right direction from the very start,” said Lorena Contreras, parent of a Catholic School student. “Without CEA, our family would not be able to find the loving and caring environment of the Catholic school.”

Traditional and Planned Giving
Catholic Education Arizona’s charitable division, Changing Lives with Legacy also accepts traditional donations. This division accepts planned and direct gifts that fund scholarships as well.  Accepted gifts include cash, bequests, IRA charitable rollovers, stock and bond gifts, donor-advised fund grants, and more.

Donors continue to support Catholic Education Arizona because of the impact:

  • 99% graduation rate
  • 96% matriculation to higher education, trade school, or enter military service
  • Thousands of hours of community service performed annually

Catholic Education Arizona is the largest provider of scholarships for families attending Catholic schools in the Diocese of Phoenix. Since 1998, CEA has raised more than $383 million and awarded 161,000 scholarships, changing lives one scholarship at a time through tax credits and traditional donations. To learn more, visit www.ceaz.org or call (602) 218-6542.

VARON Marks Earth Hour 2026 with a Call for Sustainable Respiratory Care and Climate Action

NEW YORK, March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In observance of Earth Hour 2026, VARON, a leading innovator in oxygen therapy solutions, reaffirms its commitment to advancing both respiratory health and environmental sustainability. As millions around the globe switch off their lights for one hour to raise awareness of climate change and nature loss, VARON highlights how everyday healthcare choices—such as using an oxygen concentrator machine—can contribute to a greener planet.

Organized annually by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Earth Hour has evolved into a global movement that goes beyond the symbolic lights-off moment. It inspires individuals, businesses, and communities to take meaningful, long-term action for the environment. In 2026, the initiative continues to emphasize collective responsibility in addressing the climate crisis and protecting natural ecosystems.

“Earth Hour is more than a moment—it’s a movement,” said VARON CEO. “At VARON, we believe that supporting respiratory health and protecting the environment should go hand in hand. Our mission is to provide sustainable oxygen solutions that benefit both people and the planet.”

Sustainable Innovation in Oxygen Therapy

Traditional oxygen delivery systems, such as bulky oxygen tanks, require continuous refilling and transportation—resulting in significant carbon emissions. In contrast, VARON’s oxygen concentrator machine technology generates purified oxygen directly from ambient air, eliminating the need for refills and reducing environmental impact.

From the Stationary Oxygen Concentrator designed for home use to the portable oxygen concentrator built for mobility, VARON’s product lineup reflects a commitment to eco-conscious innovation. These devices not only enhance patient independence but also align with global sustainability goals.

Energy Efficiency at the Core

VARON integrates energy-saving features across its product range. The VP Series portable oxygen concentrator models, especially the latest VP-8G, utilize advanced pulse oxygen delivery systems that adapt to a user’s breathing pattern. This smart functionality can reduce power consumption by up to 30% compared to traditional continuous-flow systems.

Similarly, VARON’s Stationary Oxygen Concentrator units, such as the VH-3, include intelligent display technology that dims or turns off during operation, conserving energy and minimizing light pollution—an often-overlooked environmental concern.

Built to Last, Designed to Reduce Waste

Durability is a cornerstone of VARON’s sustainability strategy. Each oxygen concentrator machine is engineered with high-quality materials to ensure longevity, reducing the frequency of repairs and replacements. This approach helps minimize electronic waste and lowers the overall environmental footprint associated with device disposal.

Reducing Waste Through Recertification

As part of its sustainability efforts, VARON has introduced a comprehensive recertification program designed to extend the lifecycle of its oxygen concentrators. Each unit undergoes rigorous inspection, testing, and quality assurance to ensure reliable performance, helping reduce electronic waste while promoting more efficient use of resources.

A Greener Supply Chain

VARON’s environmental responsibility extends beyond product design. The company implements eco-friendly practices throughout its supply chain, including recyclable packaging, energy-efficient manufacturing processes, and optimized global logistics. By integrating sustainability at every stage, VARON ensures that each Stationary Oxygen Concentrator and portable oxygen concentrator supports a cleaner, healthier future.

A Message from Leadership

“Our responsibility goes beyond our customers’ lungs—it’s about the air we all breathe,” said the CEO of VARON. “We are proud to lead the way in sustainable respiratory care, especially during global initiatives like Earth Hour that remind us of our shared duty to protect the planet.

Turning One Hour into Lasting Impact

Earth Hour serves as a powerful reminder that small actions can lead to significant change. VARON encourages individuals and organizations to go beyond the hour by adopting sustainable practices in daily life—including choosing energy-efficient healthcare solutions like an oxygen concentrator machine.

By aligning innovation with environmental stewardship, VARON continues to empower users with reliable, eco-friendly oxygen therapy options—proving that better health and a healthier Earth can go hand in hand.

About VARON

VARON is a trusted provider of advanced oxygen therapy solutions, specializing in the development of Stationary Oxygen Concentrator and portable oxygen concentrator systems. Guided by core values of innovation, quality, affordability, and environmental responsibility, VARON is dedicated to improving lives through sustainable healthcare technology.
