SAN FRANCISCO, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At a ribbon-cutting event in San Francisco, Visa, Street Soccer USA (SSUSA) and Bank of America announced today an initiative to expand access to soccer across the United States. Harnessing the unifying power of soccer, the companies will provide open park space in six cities to bring people together, foster youth development, and strengthen community ties through sport and purpose-driven programming.

“This movement is about scale, sustainability, and impact,” said Lawrence Cann, Co-Founder and President of Street Soccer USA. “Alongside our partners, we are making a significant pass toward building a national network of parks that deliver real value—on and off the field. These are spaces where young people can grow, communities can connect, and every victory, big or small, can lead to meaningful change.”

Visa Street Soccer Parks, the first of which opened today in San Francisco, are intentionally designed to be vibrant centers for community engagement, offering more than just a space for soccer. Each park will feature two professional-grade Bank of America fields, providing facilities with lighting for evening activities, digital scoreboards, learning centers and seating areas for spectators and special events.

Park locations and projected opening:

• San Francisco – Opened June 2025
• Denver – August 2025
• Kansas City – September 2025
• New York City – October 2025
• Nashville – November 2025
• Atlanta – Winter 2025

As momentum builds ahead of one of the biggest landmark years for soccer in U.S. history, these parks will provide a local platform for community connection, growth, and opportunity – into 2026 and beyond.

“Through this partnership, we’re creating more than soccer parks—we’re building platforms for progress,” said Kim Lawrence, President, North America, Visa. “Each park represents a step toward stronger, more connected communities. By combining the power of sports with access to education and opportunity, we’re helping individuals and families move forward—one goal, one lesson, and one connection at a time.”

“Sports bring communities together, and over the next few years, the entire world will come together for soccer in North America,” said David Tyrie, President, Marketing, Digital and Specialized Consumer Client Solutions at Bank of America. “These fields will provide high-quality spaces where the lessons of soccer – teamwork, goal-setting, preparation and determination – come to life for the next generation.”

Each park will serve as a local hub for sport, learning, and engagement, offering year-round activities that include youth and adult leagues, after-school academic support, job readiness training, and more. Collectively, the parks represent more than a place to play—they’re a growing network of opportunity, built to connect communities and unite them through the game that brings the world together.

CHICAGO, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ozinga has officially broken ground on a cutting-edge low-carbon cement manufacturing facility in East Chicago, Indiana. Equipped with one of North America’s largest vertical roller mills, the new plant will produce one million tons of low-carbon cementitious materials annually.

Strategically located with direct access to rail, truck, and water (via the Great Lakes and the inland waterways of the U.S.), the facility will serve customers across the United States and Canada, reinforcing Ozinga’s commitment to sustainable infrastructure, supply chain resilience, and American manufacturing.

“Ozinga has always believed that true innovation isn’t just about progress, it’s about purpose,” said Marty Ozinga, CEO of Ozinga. “This facility is more than a plant. It’s a commitment to the future of American manufacturing, to sustainable building, and to strengthening American communities for generations to come.”

Investing in Communities and American Manufacturing

The East Chicago facility and its related operations are projected to create approximately 150 construction and long-term full-time jobs, fueling regional economic growth. Operations are expected to begin in 2026.

“This is the kind of investment that strengthens communities and provides real opportunity for local families,” said Anthony Copeland, Mayor of East Chicago.

With over 2,500 employees nationwide, Ozinga continues to prioritize sustainability, community development, and innovation. The East Chicago facility marks a major milestone in the company’s mission to deliver net zero concrete by 2030.

Reducing Emissions, Strengthening Supply Chains

Concrete is the backbone of modern infrastructure essential to homes, schools, hospitals, roads, and bridges. Yet traditional Portland cement, its core ingredient, accounts for nearly 7% of global CO₂ emissions. In 2024, the United States imported nearly 30 million tons of cement, leaving infrastructure projects vulnerable to supply chain instability and trade volatility.

Ozinga’s East Chicago facility directly addresses this challenge. By producing domestic low-carbon cements, it will reduce dependence on imports and dramatically lower embodied carbon in construction materials, supporting both environmental goals and economic resilience.

Powered by North America’s Largest Low-Carbon Vertical Roller Mill

At the heart of the facility is the MVR5300-C6 vertical roller mill from Gebr. Pfeiffer, the largest of its kind in North America. With six independent rollers and unmatched throughput capacity, the mill maximizes energy efficiency while minimizing carbon emissions.

“This isn’t just a plant—it’s a technological milestone,” said Timothy Burden, President of Gebr. Pfeiffer Americas. “The MVR5300-C6 sets a new benchmark for sustainable cement production.”

The facility will produce ASTM C989-compliant low-carbon slag cement, as well as proprietary blends under Ozinga’s CarbonSense™ brand, meeting ASTM C1157 performance standards and delivering up to 80% reductions in embodied carbon. Once fully operational, the plant is projected to offset more than 700,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually, a significant reduction in the carbon footprint of U.S. construction.

Driving Innovation Through Collaboration

Ozinga’s leadership in sustainable building materials has been strengthened by partnerships with Meta, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and other industry leaders. These collaborations have yielded AI-optimized low-carbon concrete, used in Meta’s DeKalb, IL data center, and enabled a 64% reduction in embodied carbon at the award-winning Amazon Web Services New Carlisle, IN data center, setting a new industry benchmark.

The new East Chicago facility is a timely response to the growing demand for low-carbon concrete in data center construction and other mission-critical infrastructure projects across North America.

About Ozinga
Ozinga is a fifth-generation, family-owned American company providing concrete, bulk materials, and construction solutions for commercial, industrial, and residential projects. Committed to service, learning, and entrepreneurship, Ozinga continues to develop environmentally responsible products and practices that make a positive impact and shape the future of the built environment.

In partnership with Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee and Milky Way Tech Hub, Associated Bank AI Academy will boost digital skills and financial literacy among Milwaukee youth

MILWAUKEE, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Associated Banc-Corp (NYSE: ASB) (“Associated”) today announced a dynamic pilot program aimed at empowering Milwaukee youth with essential skills in artificial intelligence (AI) and financial literacy: Associated Bank AI Academy.

Associated Bank AI Academy is a six-week curriculum designed for local youths to help them learn critical life skills. Led by Terry L. Williams, chief information officer at Associated Bank, the new initiative will launch this summer as part of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee’s curriculum. The program is designed for sixth through eighth grade students and will focus on artificial intelligence, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship—including hands-on instruction in prompt engineering using platforms like ChatGPT and learning fundamentals of data science.

“Supporting innovation in youth education is a core part of Associated Bank’s commitment to the community,” said Williams. “This program blends financial literacy with emerging technology to give young minds a head start in understanding how artificial intelligence will shape their ongoing education and future—and we’re proud to partner with Boys and Girls Club and Milky Way Tech Hub to bring it to Milwaukee.”

Each week, Associated Bank AI Academy will focus on a new topic, building each week’s learning off each other to build a wholistic view of how AI will shape the future. Students will earn “Associated Bank Bucks,” a co-branded incentive system to recognize their participation and performance in the program. These “bucks” can be exchanged for Associated Bank merchandise and other exclusive rewards, making the learning experience both meaningful and fun.

Milky Way Tech Hub will help facilitate the classes and Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee will host and manage the pilot and class operations at one of their Milwaukee-area locations.

“This partnership embodies what Milky Way Tech Hub stands for—equity, education and empowering future innovators,” said Nadiyah Johnson, founder and CEO of Milky Way Tech Hub. “We’re thrilled to work alongside Associated Bank to provide young people with tools to build wealth and navigate the future of tech.”

Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee will announce additional details, including how parents can register their children for AI Academy.

“Our youth development work at the Boys & Girls Clubs will rise or fall on our ability to innovate. Our offerings must be engaging, fun, relevant, and genuinely life changing. Otherwise, kids vote with their feet, and we lose them,” said Jeff Snell, president and CEO, Boys and Girls Club of Greater Milwaukee. “Associated Bank’s AI Academy available to our members—the first such AI learning experience as a career pathway for Boys & Girls Clubs members in Wisconsin—is a perfect example, capturing young imaginations, providing a context to aspire, and then equipping them in new ways to be productive, responsible, caring citizens. We are very grateful.”

The program will begin July 7 and will start with a cohort of 15–20 students. Sessions will be delivered by Milky Way Tech Hub facilitators in partnership with employee volunteers from Associated Bank supporting the hands-on youth training. The program will culminate with a celebration hosted at the Associated Bank River Center.

Digital Community is Now Open to Higher Education Associations Interested in Sharing Effective Practices

PITTSBURGH, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Nuventive, the data-informed improvement company™, has launched a new Sustainability Improvement Ecosystem in partnership with the Association of Presbyterian Colleges and Universities (APCU). This digital community enables organizations to benchmark and share effective practices in support of sustainability goals.

The new ecosystem is built on the Nuventive Improvement Platform, which has helped institutions of all sizes achieve improvement goals and strategic alignment for more than two decades. Through this partnership, the APCU institutions are pioneering a new way to access real-world strategies and demonstrate measurable progress on sustainability initiatives. The APCU’s participation was funded by a grant from the Council of Independent Colleges.

“We’re thrilled to launch this Sustainability Ecosystem with the APCU, a visionary partner committed to addressing one of the most pressing challenges of our time,” said Dr. David Raney, CEO of Nuventive. “This community enables participants to learn from one another, identify what’s working, and use data to take informed action.”

The Sustainability Ecosystem allows participants to:

• Discover and explore sustainability initiatives from peer organizations
• Access a growing, searchable library of effective practices, lessons learned, and strategies
• Align initiatives with institutional strategic plans and broader outcome sets
• Benchmark internal efforts against others and track progress over time
• Use interactive dashboards to visualize activity and impact
• Share insights, documents, and data across a trusted network

“Nuventive’s platform is a powerful tool that enables our members to share stories about their commitment to sustainability in tangible, trackable ways,” said Jeffrey Arnold, Executive Director of the APCU. “It also allows our schools to reinforce environmental stewardship – a Presbyterian value that transcends religion and applies to all organizations working to leave the world better than they found it.”

While the initial rollout centers on APCU member institutions, other higher education associations with a common interest in sustainability, a willingness to share their work, and a desire to improve may apply to join. Contact sustainability@nuventive.com to learn more.
