GARFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — OC Federal Credit Union is bringing financial literacy education to over 300 students in Ohio. Students at 23 schools have free access to Banzai, an award-winning online program and content library that allows users to practice real-world finance from the safety of their home or classroom using any internet-enabled device. At a time when a solid foundation of practical financial knowledge is critical, these resources will make a huge impact on users. All of these resources are available to students at home or in the classroom via any device that can access the internet.
“Banzai is a web-based financial literacy program. Kids get their own accounts, and they work through assignments that are based on real life,” says Morgan Vandagriff, co-founder of Banzai. “But because OC Federal is sponsoring it, local schools get it for free. More than ever, it’s important that kids develop sound financial skills to prepare them for the real world, and OC Federal realizes that and they’re doing something about it.”
Banzai content builds a foundation of practical knowledge and gives students the tools to create a sound financial future. While students learn, teachers can easily monitor and grade their progress remotely. After finishing Banzai, students will know how to track where their money is and what it’s for, recognize financial trade-offs, build a budget, and more. At a time when many are facing unprecedented financial challenges, these lessons are invaluable. The Banzai resources are available at https://ocfcu.banzai.org/.
OC Federal Credit Union is working with Banzai to build financial literacy in the community by investing time, money, industry experience, and a variety of resources. Beyond the Banzai library, OC Federal also offers virtual or in-classroom presentations from local experts on timely topics.
Banzai resources are used by over 120,000 teachers across the U.S. The courses align with Ohio’s state curriculum requirements, making the program a fun way for students to gain vital financial literacy skills both online and offline.
Teachers interested in using the Banzai program with their class can visit https://ocfcu.banzai.org/ or call 888-8-BANZAI.

“The World’s Largest Pet Walk is more than a fundraiser: it’s an event that gets us moving with our pets, demonstrating one more way they positively impact human health,” said C. Annie Peters, President & CEO of Pet Partners. “And, with every step, walkers help support therapy animals that make meaningful visits to people in need throughout the year.”
Registration for this event is free, and participants are encouraged to fundraise in support of therapy animal visits. Fundraisers who reach key milestones by August 15 will receive special event gear, including a commemorative bandanna or t-shirt. Additional incentive levels and recognition opportunities are available throughout the campaign.
Pet Partners is urging individuals, families, companies, and community groups to walk, fundraise, and spread the word. All proceeds help recruit, train, and register volunteer therapy animal teams who deliver these life-changing visits.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On June 2, 2025, Airbnb (NASDAQ: ABNB) learned that the company and certain of its directors and executives were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware by The Heritage Foundation and American Conservative Values ETF.
The complaint alleges, among other things, that Airbnb improperly excluded certain shareholder proposals from its 2025 definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 25, 2025 (the “Proxy Statement”).
Airbnb disputes the characterizations and claims in the complaint, but nevertheless is attaching a copy of it, with Exhibits A and B, which include the text of the two proposals. As we informed the shareholders, we do not have a record of previous receipt of the shareholder proposals, and thus, were unable to include either proposal in our Proxy Statement for shareholder review. We have offered to work with the shareholders to make sure their proposals are considered for inclusion at our 2026 shareholder meeting.
Airbnb will hold its 2025 annual meeting of shareholders on June 4, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time. More information about the meeting, including instructions on how to join, is available in the Proxy Statement.

In every corner of the globe, digital technology is becoming the bridge to opportunity, empowerment, and transformation. Cisco’s Country Digital Acceleration (CDA) program is at the forefront of this movement, revolutionizing how communities connect, learn, and grow in today’s digital age. As we celebrate ten years of impactful progress, the CDA program continues to break new ground, driving positive change across nations.
The Vision Behind CDA
In 2015, we observed a global trend: leaders were developing national digital agendas—plans to outline how their country would leverage digital technologies to promote economic growth, improve public services, enhance inclusion, and foster innovation. The inception of Cisco’s CDA program was fueled by a pivotal realization: while nations were eager to embrace digital transformation, many lacked the concrete strategies and expertise needed to implement these agendas.
Cisco recognized this gap and saw an opportunity to make a meaningful impact. We adopted a collaborative approach from the outset, working closely with government officials to understand their unique challenges and align with national priorities. This involved transforming existing digital agendas into comprehensive, actionable plans with defined projects and budgets. Beyond planning, we committed resources to fund pilot projects and proofs of concept, showcasing the tangible benefits of digitization and building confidence in digital technologies.
This collaborative, investment-driven strategy set the CDA program apart by creating a sustainable ecosystem for innovation, positioning it as a catalyst for digital transformation and enabling nations to unlock new opportunities for meaningful change.
Laying the Foundation
At the time, our efforts were centered on establishing foundational projects that would set the stage for future innovation. These initiatives were critical in providing essential digital infrastructure and access to communities that were often overlooked. In France, Italy, Germany, India, and the UK we began by implementing projects that connected schools, hospitals, and local governments to the internet, enabling access to vital resources and services.
In the early stages of our foundational projects, we prioritized digital education by outfitting classrooms with cutting-edge technology, enabling both students and teachers to access global educational content and cultivating a new generation of digitally literate individuals.
Simultaneously, we revolutionized the healthcare sector by developing connected systems that enhanced patient management and telemedicine, especially in remote areas lacking adequate medical facilities. By integrating Cisco’s secure networking solutions, we empowered healthcare providers to deliver more efficient care.
Security was also a key focus; as we extended connectivity to more communities, we implemented advanced measures to protect sensitive data and ensure the integrity of digital networks, establishing a robust and secure platform for future growth.
These foundational efforts delivered immediate benefits and fostered the trust and collaboration essential for lasting partnerships with governments and local stakeholders. By addressing the fundamental needs of connectivity, education, healthcare, and security, we established a robust platform that would support more ambitious and innovative projects in the years to come.
Transforming tomorrow, today
Building on this strong foundation, the Autonomous Living Project, now known as Hayla, initiated during the COVID-19 pandemic and is one of our more impactful projects today. Imagine individuals with diverse needs who suddenly found themselves isolated due to lockdowns. Our solution provided them with technology to manage daily activities independently while staying connected with caregivers. This project didn’t just offer a temporary fix; it empowered many to choose autonomy even after the pandemic, fundamentally enhancing their quality of life.
In Singapore, we are partnering with the Home Team Science and Technology Agency (HTX) to elevate public safety through 5G and AI innovations. By leveraging Cisco’s 5G-as-a-Service, we’re developing proofs-of-concept to enhance safety infrastructure. Additionally, we’re collaborating on an AI-driven Security and Network Operations platform to help HTX effectively manage and counter advanced cyber threats. This initiative aims to transform public safety measures and position Singapore as a leader in digital transformation for homeland security.
At the Port of Rotterdam, Cisco’s CDA program is pioneering the integration of quantum computing to revolutionize logistics and operations. By establishing the first quantum network, we’re enhancing data processing capabilities, optimizing supply chain efficiency, and setting a new standard for smart port technology. This project demonstrates the transformative power of quantum technologies while showcasing the potential for innovative solutions to drive economic growth and sustainability in one of the world’s busiest ports.
As we celebrate a decade of CDA, we’ve launched over 1,600 digitization projects in 50 countries. Our unique approach brings together government, industry, and academia from the start, ensuring comprehensive and swift execution. This collaborative model not only builds trust but also facilitates continuous innovation, allowing us to stay relevant amid changing global dynamics.
Looking Ahead
As we move forward, the future of CDA shines brighter than ever, propelled by rapid technological advancements and the evolving needs of nations. Our commitment to supporting countries on their digital journeys remains unwavering, adapting to new priorities and seizing emerging opportunities. As geopolitical dynamics shift, our role as a trusted partner becomes increasingly vital. Our agile approach allows us to pivot quickly, ensuring we remain relevant and responsive to the global landscape.
Looking ahead, the CDA program focuses on integrating cutting-edge technologies like quantum computing and artificial intelligence to redefine industries and tackle complex challenges. We’re also expanding into new regions, customizing our efforts to meet each country’s unique needs and fostering partnerships with emerging economies.
Guided by our commitment to closing the digital divide and empowering communities worldwide, we recognize the importance of nurturing local talent and investing in education and skills development. By expanding access to Cisco Networking Academy programs, enhancing digital literacy, and supporting entrepreneurial initiatives, we aim to equip future generations with the tools needed to thrive in the digital age.
Charting new horizons
Simply put, we are driven by the belief that technology holds the power to transform lives and uplift communities. The CDA program is a testament to this belief—a manifestation of Cisco’s purpose to power an inclusive future for all. I am proud of what we have achieved together so far, yet it is the boundless possibilities ahead that truly excite me.
The future is marked by limitless potential and a steadfast dedication to making a positive impact. As we embrace new technologies and challenges, our focus remains on empowering nations, communities, and individuals to realize their full potential in a connected world, and we invite you to join the journey. Share this blog to inspire others with the transformative power of technology, and don’t miss our special celebration video showcasing the impact of CDA over the years.
Let’s continue to build an inclusive future together!
