Marcus Peters joins the Seattle Seawolves
The Seattle Seawolves proudly announce the addition of two influential sports figures, Marshawn Lynch aka “Beast Mode” and Marcus Peters, as new investors.
This move isn’t just business. It’s about building something with substance and purpose. The Seawolves are creating something dope in the PNW, and I’m here for it.”
SEATTLE, WA, UNITED STATES, April 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- This partnership marks an exciting step forward for the Seattle Seawolves Major League Rugby team as they continue to grow rugby’s presence in the PNW while deepening their connection to Seattle and surrounding communities.— Marshawn Lynch
Marshawn Lynch, retired NFL legend and Super Bowl champion with the Seattle Seahawks, brings a powerful combination of business acumen and community impact to the Seawolves. Lynch is no stranger to team and league ownership, holding stakes in the NHL’s Seattle Kraken, Oakland Roots SC of the USL, the PFL (Professional Fight League), the Beasts in the Fan Controlled Football League, and the Bay Area Panthers of the Indoor Football League.
Earlier this year, Lynch received the Paul G. Allen Humanitarian Award from the Seattle Sports Commission at the 90th annual Sports Star of the Year Awards—the same event where the Seawolves were nominated for Sports Story of the Year. The award recognizes individuals making meaningful philanthropic contributions, and Lynch was honored for his work in Seattle, Oakland, and internationally in Haiti.
“Rugby is about culture, community, and respect—and when this opp presented itself, I was with it, cause you already know that’s what imma about” said Marshawn Lynch. “This move isn’t just business. It’s about building something with substance and purpose. The Seawolves are creating something dope in the PNW, and I’m here for it.”
Joining him is Marcus Peters, veteran NFL cornerback and Oakland native, whose impact off the field is as powerful as his presence on it. Peters is known for mentoring younger teammates, advocating for mental health awareness, and investing in youth development in his hometown and beyond. He’ll be attending the Seawolves home match on Friday, April 18 to celebrate the new partnership.
Though not related by blood, Lynch and Peters call each other “cousins,” a title earned through a lifelong bond formed in Oakland. Lynch mentored Peters early on and even housed him while Peters played college football at the University of Washington. Their shared values, community roots, and competitive drive now extend into professional rugby. Both men are also Board and Founding Members of Fam 1st Family Foundation, an organization that works to better the lives of underserved youth in the East Bay.
“This is bigger than just a sport for me,” said Marcus Peters. “It’s about creating opportunity. We don’t just talk about it, we let our actions speak for us and this is about setting an example and putting energy into something that uplifts and brings people together. Rugby’s about heart and connection, and I’m hella proud to join a team that lives by that every day on and off the field.“
Peters' advocacy for mental health—exemplified by the “Marcus Alert” program in Arlington County, Virginia—is closely aligned with Major League Rugby’s commitment to player wellness and mental fitness.
From ownership to philanthropy, both Peters and Lynch bring passion and purpose to this partnership, and Seawolves leadership sees it as a game-changing moment for the club and the league.
Ted Ackerley, Seawolves Board Member, stated: "We are excited to welcome Marshawn and Marcus to the Seattle Seawolves, two local legends with a strong background in team leadership and community involvement. They both appreciate the culture of rugby and will work with the team to open doors for deeper community involvement and increased visibility for the sport. On behalf of the Seawolves Ownership Group, we are honored to welcome them to the Seawolves family."
Rugby continues to grow rapidly in the U.S., with rising stars like Ilona Maher making headlines and the Rugby World Cup which will be played in the USA in 2031 (mens) and 2033 (womens). This investment from two powerful voices in sports and culture adds momentum to a movement already building nationwide.
Fans are invited to join the Seawolves this Friday, April 18 for a special night of rugby, with Marcus Peters in attendance, as the team marks the beginning of this impactful new partnership.

Bayer Marana Celebrates Key Anniversary with Community Service
Bayer logoBayer Marana team volunteers with Ronald McDonald HouseA donation box sent with love from Bayer Marana volunteersArizona greenhouse marks 5 years of innovation for farmersOur work focuses on making agriculture sustainable, productive, and resilient. We’re also committed to being the best neighbor, in community partnerships and positive impact in the field and beyond.”— Edson Kemper, Ph.D., Site Lead at the Bayer Marana Innovation CenterTUCSON, AZ, UNITED STATES, May 19, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Bayer Marana Innovation Center is proud to mark five years of enabling the delivery of new corn genetics for farmers across the globe. To commemorate its anniversary, the team held a volunteer-focused, team-building event that highlights the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation, sustainability and community engagement.
Since opening its doors in 2020, the Bayer Innovation Center in Marana has been at the forefront of agricultural research and development. The state-of-the-art facility is dedicated to creating sustainable solutions that support farmers, strengthen global food security and contribute to a healthier planet. Home to more than 100 local employees, the Innovation Center boasts several cutting-edge technologies and practices — including precision breeding, short-stature corn development, automated planting systems, and climate-controlled greenhouse operations — that are shaping the future of agriculture.
“Our work in Marana is focused on making agriculture more sustainable, productive, and resilient,” said Edson Kemper, Ph.D., Site Lead at the Bayer Marana Innovation Center. “At the same time, we’re deeply committed to being the best neighbor. We’re proud of the partnerships we’ve built in the community and the positive impact our team continues to make — both in the field and beyond.”
In recognition of its anniversary, the Bayer Marana team partnered with Cheeriodicals, an organization that “specializes in corporate team building that gives back by creating personalized team building experiences that delivers cheer to hospitalized children, veterans, and more” to host a volunteer event. The event brought together over 100 staff members and leaders to assemble 104 comfort kits for pediatric patients at Banner Diamond Children’s Medical Center. The group also created thoughtful care packages for the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Tucson, reinforcing the site’s role as a trusted community partner.
“The care packages assembled by the Bayer Marana team will make a meaningful difference for the families staying with us during some of the most difficult times in their lives,” said Nancy Kirk, Chief Development Officer at Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Arizona. “Their generosity and thoughtfulness are a true reflection of what it means to be a compassionate community partner. We’re grateful for their support and commitment to making our families feel seen and supported.”
Over the past five years, the Bayer Marana Innovation Center has donated more than $400,000 to local charitable causes through direct community giving and the national Bayer Fund. Employees have also logged thousands of volunteer hours, partnering with local organizations to support educational, charitable, and community-driven initiatives.

Ważą się losy nowej umowy między Unią Europejską a Ukrainą na temat zasad handlu. Obecne przepisy wygasają 5 czerwca
5 czerwca wygasa ATM, czyli wprowadzona przed trzema laty i potem z modyfikacjami przedłużana umowa między UE a Ukrainą, liberalizująca zasady wwozu ukraińskich towarów na teren Wspólnoty. Strona ukraińska chciałaby jej przedłużenia, na razie jednak Unia zgodziła się jedynie na przedłużenie bezcłowego przywozu żelaza i stali. Największe obawy, zwłaszcza w Polsce, budzi kwestia produktów rolnych. Zdaniem europosłanki Konfederacji Anny Bryłki należałoby wrócić do obowiązującej przed 2022 rokiem umowy stowarzyszeniowej DCFTA, ponieważ Ukraina może dziś eksportować swoje towary drogą morską poprzez porty na Morzu Czarnym, a dzięki darmowemu dostępowi do unijnego rynku bogacą się jedynie potentaci rolni.
Z UE na pomoc Ukrainie trafiło 148 mld euro. Potrzebne jest dalsze wsparcie, także w kontekście wypracowania sprawiedliwego pokoju
Państwom członkowskim będzie łatwiej zwiększać inwestycję w obronność. KE proponuje nowe zasady finansowania
Odsetki to za mało. Parlament Europejski chce, by zamrożone rosyjskie aktywa stopniowo wspierały Ukrainę
Rekordowy eksport polskiej żywności. Koszty produkcji będą jednak rosły z powodu zmieniających się norm wraz z wprowadzaniem Zielonego Ładu
Polskie produkty rolno-spożywcze za granicą drożeją. Eksporterzy tracą dotychczasowe przewagi kosztowe
Ochrona środowiska
Nowe technologie pomagają szybciej i dokładniej sortować odpady. Wciąż nie wszystkie da się jednak przetworzyć
Do 2030 roku 55 proc. odpadów opakowaniowych z tworzyw sztucznych powinno trafiać do przetworzenia. W ubiegłym roku było to ok. 27 proc. Nowe technologie w coraz większym stopniu ułatwiają sortowanie odpadów, ale nie pozwalają jeszcze na przetworzenie wszystkich ich rodzajów. To pierwsze wyzwanie związane z zamykaniem obiegu. Kolejnym jest zwiększanie zawartości materiałów pochodzących z recyklingu w produkowanych opakowaniach, czego wymagają unijne przepisy. Choć w tym obszarze widać w ostatnich latach znaczące postępy, nie brakuje wyzwań.

Rosyjskie surowce przestaną płynąć do UE. Spóźniony, ale ambitny i istotny plan ma być wdrożony do 2027 roku
– Kupowanie surowców energetycznych z Rosji jest jak kupowanie broni przeciwko Ukrainie – uważa europosłanka PO Mirosława Nykiel. Dlatego KE planuje do 2027 roku ograniczyć do zera import rosyjskich paliw. Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus ocenia, że taka decyzja powinna zapaść już dawno, ale lepiej późno niż wcale. Co więcej, państwa członkowskie powinny być w tych deklaracjach zjednoczone najbardziej, jak się da.
