BEARS EARS NATIONAL MONUMENT, Utah, Nov. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition (BEITC) was recognized nationally for excellence by the Harvard Project on Indigenous Governance and Development’s prestigious Honoring Nations Awards. The announcement recognizes BEITC’s groundbreaking leadership in Indigenous stewardship, Inter-Tribal governance and the collaborative management of Bears Ears National Monument.

Founded by the Hopi Tribe, Navajo Nation, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Zuni Tribe, and the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation, the Coalition was honored for advancing a model of Tribal collaboration, cultural stewardship, and consensus-based decision-making rooted in Traditional Knowledge.

“This award affirms what our elders and leaders have taught us, that Indigenous governance is powerful, effective, and necessary,” said Anthony Sanchez Jr., Head Councilman of the Zuni Tribe and Co-Chair of the BEITC. “Our work at Bears Ears is about responsibility, healing, and protecting the cultural legacy of our Nations for future generations. For the Zuni people, these lands hold the footprints of our ancestors, and it is our duty to care for them with reverence and humility.”

One major milestone considered by the Harvard Project was the 2025 finalization of the Bears Ears Resource Management Plan, the first management plan to implement Tribal–federal collaborative management for a U.S. national monument. The plan, shaped by the Bears Ears Commission and grounded in Traditional Knowledge, affirms the role of Tribal Nations as co-stewards of their ancestral homelands. Through initiatives like youth leadership programs, cultural landscape protection, and educational partnerships, BEITC’s model is already inspiring other Indigenous efforts across the country.

The Honoring Nations award is the premier national recognition of Tribal governance excellence, administered by the Harvard Kennedy School’s Ash Center. As an honoree, BEITC joins 142 alumni awardees and receives national recognition.

“This recognition belongs to our entire Coalition, the five Tribes have stood together and continue to lead with vision and care,” said Davina Smith (Diné), Co-Chair of the BEITC. “I’m deeply grateful to our partner organizations, agency partners, and all who have supported our shared mission. Most of all, thank you to the Tribal members, leaders, and knowledge holders of the Hopi, Zuni, Ute Mountain Ute, Ute Indian Tribe, and Navajo Nation. Your prayers, strength, and teachings make this work possible. This is what stewardship can look like when Tribes help shape the future of the lands they’ve cared for since time immemorial.”

“We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the outstanding programs recognized by the 2025 Honoring Nations awards,” said Charissa Miijessepe-Wilson (Prairie Band Potawatomi/Kickapoo), Director of the BEITC. “Each of these initiatives reflects the strength, innovation, and deep cultural grounding of Tribal governance in action. From language revitalization to food sovereignty, environmental stewardship to intergovernmental partnerships, these projects are powerful examples of Indigenous leadership meeting the moment. We’re honored to be in your company and inspired by your work.”

This year’s High Honors awards recognized the transformative leadership of the Cherokee Nation, whose tribally affiliated medical school is reshaping rural and Tribal healthcare; the Jicarilla Apache Nation, whose water-sharing agreement strengthens ecological stewardship and Tribal sovereignty; and the Lummi Nation, whose Sche’lang’en Village provides a powerful model of healing, reunification, and culturally grounded wrap-around services. We celebrate their achievements and the powerful momentum of Indigenous governance across Indian Country.

Coordinated Care has provided over 18 million meals statewide, including medically tailored meals, in addition to the member program Coordinated Care Harvest Bucks

TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Coordinated Care, a Washington managed care organization and wholly owned subsidiary of Centene Corporation (NYSE: CNC), has achieved a milestone of providing over 18 million meals across Washington since 2020, as part of their strategy to address food insecurity. This ongoing initiative is confirmation of their commitment to increase access to healthy food and comes as millions of Americans face increasing challenges in accessing nutritious meals due to recent disruptions to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), food insecurity currently affects approximately 47.4 million people nationwide, including 13.8 million children.

Coordinated Care’s One Million Meals campaign began during the COVID-19 pandemic has been exceeding their annual goal year-over-year. Working with our trusted partners who are embedded in their communities and know Washingtonians best, like Second Harvest, Northwest Harvest, Emergency Food Network, Lifelong, Eloise’s Cooking Pot, Mill Creek Food Bank, Farestart and others, has produced these staggering results. Recent Coordinated Care staff volunteer efforts have also contributed, including:

• packing 5,000 bags for 2nd Harvest’s Bite2Go program in Spokane
• preparing over 200 medically tailored meals for individuals living with chronic illness at Lifelong in Seattle
• re-packing over 7,000 lbs. of pears for Emergency Food Network in Lakewood
• and serving at FareStart’s Guest Chef Night in Seattle, helping to raise over $13,000 to support their culinary job training program.

“Coordinated Care is an incredible example of a partner who we would describe as ‘all-in’ – volunteering their time, sharing generous financial support and promoting impactful programs that lead to healthy outcomes, especially around our nutrition education and self-sufficiency efforts,” said Chris Houglum, philanthropy director at 2nd Harvest.

In addition to the One Million Meals initiative, Coordinated Care developed a program for their Medicaid members, Coordinated Care Harvest Bucks™. This program helps supplement limited grocery budgets with up to $100 a year, per member in produce prescriptions, redeemable at Safeway grocery stores and in partnership with the Washington State Department of Health. Members receive vouchers and get support from a care coordinator to help navigate resources, use our online tool FindHelp and provide nutritional health education.

“This work is a continuation of Coordinated Care’s commitment since day one to helping those most in need and advancing long-term solutions to hunger and nutrition challenges,” said Coordinated Care President and CEO Beth Johnson. “All of these initiatives demonstrate the value of managed care – going beyond the doctor’s office to address a more holistic approach to healthcare.”

These investments reflect Coordinated Care’s broader mission to transform the health of the communities we serve by addressing whole-person health care needs, such as access to nutritious food and promoting long-term sustainability by integrating food access with healthcare services.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a major commitment to expanding early literacy access and supporting multilingual families, Trammo and the Oliver Stanton Foundation have partnered with the Palacios Education Foundation and Somos Uno LLC to donate thousands of bilingual and classic children’s books to underserved schools, settlement houses, hospitals, and community-based literacy programs across the United States.

A Collective Push Toward Literacy Equity

“This partnership puts books into the hands of the children who need them most, at home and in school,” said Sumya Ojakli, Co-Founder of Somos Uno LLC. “Dual-language books signal to families that their home language is an asset. That message builds confidence, strengthens literacy, and reinforces that every child’s story matters.”

“When you place high-quality books directly into communities, you activate teachers, tutors, and parents as partners in literacy,” said Dr. Rebecca A. Palacios, NBCT for the Palacios Education Foundation. “This donation brings together culture, language, and storytelling — exactly what families need to thrive.”

Supporting Educators and Families

Programs at UTC’s School of Education will use the books during practicum tutoring, early-literacy coursework, and family engagement labs.
At Connecticut Children’s Hospital, books will be incorporated into patient-family literacy activities to support emotional well-being and continued learning during hospitalization.

Settlement houses, schools and nonprofits across the country will use the books during:

• Family literacy workshops
• Dual-language reading sessions
• Parent engagement nights
• Home visiting programs
• Community library distributions

Expanding Access to Inclusive Stories

By providing free access to diverse, bilingual books, the partnership aims to:

• Reduce book deserts
• Support multilingual families
• Build home libraries
• Strengthen early literacy foundations
• Foster a love of reading across generations

Starlight Children’s Foundation aims to raise $600,000 during the campaign with the help of partners, like Kendra Scott, community fundraisers and more.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — This holiday season, Starlight Children’s Foundation’s “Give Happiness” campaign aims to raise $600,000 to deliver happiness and cheer to over 80,000 hospitalized children nationwide. Starlight is delivering thousands of toys to partner hospitals during a time when traditions are replaced with treatments, and kids are missing out on being at home with their families.

Celebrities, athletes, and community members across the country are joining forces with Starlight to bring the spirit of the holidays directly to the children they serve. Starlight is grateful for everyone who has helped further the mission of the “Give Happiness” campaign, including Jack Black, Steve Burns, Tony Goldwyn, Michael Phelps, Ollie Bearman, Ashley Argota Torres, Mick Torres, Matt Olson, Dave Koz, Neel Sethi, Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Shawn Johnson East, Andrew East, Ladd McConkey, the Los Angeles Ghostbusters, Tantrum Merch, and more.

“We are incredibly grateful to all of our partners and supporters who are activating to help us give happiness to thousands of kids this holiday season,” said Adam Garone, CEO of Starlight. “The holidays can be an incredibly tough time for families who may not get to spend time together due to hospitalizations. Our goal is to help bring some light and happiness to these difficult situations and hopefully spread some holiday cheer to those who need it most.”

During an auction earlier this year, musician and long-time supporter Dave Koz raised $200,000 to help deliver $10,000 custom pallets of toys along his 20-city holiday tour route, bringing play to children across the country. The effort kicked off at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, where Dave distributed the toys and performed holiday music for patients, families, and staff alongside saxophonist Austin Gatus, a former Starlight kid and cancer survivor, and renowned South African singer, songwriter, and guitarist Jonathan Butler. 

Other activations supporting Starlight’s Give Happiness campaign include Giving Tuesday, a Kendra Scott point of sale campaign, the 12 Days of Streaming holiday Twitch stream fundraiser, and many more.

Founded in 1982, Starlight Children’s Foundation supports more than 3 million children each year, positively transforming hospital experiences through play and making their journey toward recovery a little brighter. Hospital child life teams and clinical professionals utilize Starlight programs to offer emotional support to pediatric patients and their families, and to provide play and distraction therapy to help improve their well-being during difficult times.

A simple toy can offer a welcome distraction from the hospital environment, helping reduce stress and anxiety while encouraging positive interactions between patients and healthcare teams. Altogether, these benefits can lead to improved health literacy and better overall outcomes for young patients. 

Community members can donate to support Starlight toy deliveries for hospitalized kids by visiting starlight.org/give-happiness.

To that end, TFG Asset Management may consider a number of actions, including (but not limited to) proposals regarding:

• changes to Kolibri’s board to ensure the availability of the right experience and skill-set necessary to maximize value creation and shareholder alignment,
• the acceleration of buybacks to benefit from the valuation gap to peers, and
• a strategic review to assess the best way to realize value for all shareholders.
