Soccer Academy 2024

LCF Georgia's free 2-Gen Soccer Academy returns in June, offering soccer and wellness support to 40 low-income families in DeKalb County.

Sports are more than just physical activity—they’re a powerful way to keep young minds and bodies engaged, especially during the summer months.”
— Pedro Viloria, Director of Community Impact and Wellbeing
ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, May 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- For the third year in a row, the Latino Community Fund (LCF Georgia), in partnership with Amigos de la Comunidad, is hosting its 2-Gen Soccer Academy at Doraville Recreation’s Honeysuckle Park. Taking place throughout the month of June, this unique, FREE program combines soccer training for children with health education and wellness resources designed for low-income families in DeKalb County. This popular program is only able to serve around 50% of all applicants due to funding. A total of 40 children and their parents.

The academy aims to offer meaningful summer opportunities to families who face financial, transportation and other barriers to secure recreational activities for their children. “Sports are more than just physical activity—they’re a powerful way to keep young minds and bodies engaged, especially during the summer months,” said Pedro Viloria, Director of Community Impact and Wellbeing at LCF Georgia. “Our goal is to build healthier, more connected families through movement and education using soccer, a sport we all love as a catalyst.”

While the children are in the field, their adults take part in workshops and wellness sessions focused on supporting family health. Topics include adult and pediatric nutrition, tenants’ and patients’ rights, domestic violence awareness, basic CPR, immunizations, and more. “When parents are informed and supported, the entire family thrives,” added Viloria. “Zumba, yoga, and mental health sessions help equip parents with the tools they need to lead by example and make positive, lasting changes at home.”

Amigos de la Comunidad, a trusted grassroots organization serving Latino families, is instrumental in recruiting participants and coordinating day-to-day operations at the academy.

This initiative is made possible thanks to the support of the Atlanta United Community Foundation and Pfizer. Educational and health partners include the American Heart Association and the Feminist Center for Reproductive Liberation. These partners provide relevant health education, including CPR instruction, immunization information, and reproductive health resources.

To help sustain and expand impactful initiatives like the 2-Gen Soccer Academy, which provides free, high-quality programming that strengthens Latino families through sports, health education, and community connection, please reach out to Pedro Viloria at pedro@lcfgeorgia.org. Your support ensures this vital program continues to uplift and empower our community.

Wall Street Veteran Bill Haase Debuts Book to Tackle Financial Stress and Overspending

front cover Our Mindset on MOneyBill Haase headshotlogo for Money Mindset"Our Mindset On Money" - new book by Wall Street veteran Bill Haase unpacks the psychology behind overspending— and how to take back control.This book helps you stop living paycheck to paycheck and start making intentional, confident choices with your money—no shame, no jargon, just clarity.”— Bill Haase, author CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, May 22, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- America is drowning in debt, delusion, and denial. In his new book, Our Mindset on Money, launching May 22, 2025, financial advisor and former Wall Street broker Bill Haase delivers a blunt message: If you’re stressed about money, you’re not alone—and you’re not crazy. “Nearly 8 in ten Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Credit card debt is at a record high. And most people can’t tell you what they spent last month,” says Haase. “The system isn’t just broken—it’s conditioning us to live by default, not design.” The numbers tell the story: • 77–80% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck (PNC, Reddit, Forbes) • U.S. credit card debt hit a record $1.182 trillion in 2024, with average interest rates topping 20% (NY Fed) • Credit card defaults surged 50% in 2024, hitting the highest levels since the 2010 housing crisis (Forbes) • 56% of people have no idea how much they spent last month (Forbes) This isn’t a budgeting book. It’s a mindset reset. Instead of diving into spreadsheets or savings plans, Haase offers something deeper—a guided exploration of how we think, feel, and behave around money. From childhood conditioning to adult financial trauma, he takes readers through the often-ignored psychological patterns that lead so many to live paycheck to paycheck, even as they strive for more. Haase draws from 38 years in finance—from the pits of Chicago to Main Street households—to explore why Americans can’t stop overspending, why silence around money remains pervasive, and how our need to appear “wealthy and wise” is bankrupting us emotionally and financially. Haase shares real stories—his own included—about missteps, rebounds, and the turning points that helped him regain control. With candid insights and practical frameworks, the book helps readers: • Understand the emotional triggers behind spending • Recognize generational patterns that sabotage financial freedom • Shift from living by default to living with financial intent “If spouses aren’t talking about money, they’re not teaching their kids about it either. That silence is generational—and it's costly,” said Haase. “We equate money with intelligence. If you look successful, people assume you’re smart. But most of us are faking it—and the stress is showing.” Our Mindset on Money is available starting May 22, 2025 from Money Mindset Media LLC. ➢ Buy on Amazon: https://a.co/d/esXHe6V ➢ Buy on Barnes & Noble: https://bit.ly/42jLcS6 Praise for Our Mindset on Money “Bill blends passion with practicality. His insights don’t just inform—they transform.” — Dave Nordel, CMSgt, USAF (Ret.), CEO of Vet READY “Bill has handed us a mirror and a roadmap. He challenges how we think, not just what we do, with our money.” — Connor Tyson, ChFC®, Founder of Progress Solutions LLC *** About the Author Bill Haase spent 20 years in the high-stakes trading pits of Chicago, managing transactions for firms like Drexel Burnham Lambert and Nikko Securities. In 2004, he became the first person in the U.S. to execute simultaneous pit and electronic trades. Later, as a financial advisor, he realized most people weren’t struggling with knowledge—they were struggling with awareness. His four-year radio show, Innovative Strategies, logged nearly 1,000 interviews on how to build wealth, run a business, and live with intention. That mission now continues through his podcast and this book. About the Publisher Money Mindset Media LLC is the publishing division of Intent, a leadership and content platform for entrepreneurs and CEOs. Through books, podcasts, and peer engagement, Intent equips leaders with the tools to live intentionally, think critically, and act with clarity—in business, finance, and life.

Negocjacje między UE i USA w sprawie ceł trwają. Przełom możliwy podczas czerwcowej wizyty Trumpa w Europie

Czas, jaki Donald Trump zostawił krajom obłożonym cłami na negocjacje, zbliża się do półmetka. Umowę podpisała Wielka Brytania, ogłoszono również porozumienie z Chinami. Unia Europejska, która jest czwartym partnerem handlowym USA, do niedawna zdawała się nie czynić żadnych postępów w rozmowach. Jednak negocjacje trwają. Zdaniem europosła Michała Szczerby z PO stanowisko Unii powinno być twarde, a przede wszystkim jednomyślne. Okazją do rozmów może być wizyta Trumpa na czerwcowym szczycie NATO w Hadze.

Unijne programy szansą dla polskiego przemysłu zbrojeniowego. Wkrótce uruchomione będzie 150 mld euro na niskooprocentowane pożyczki

Prace nad uruchomieniem instrumentu pożyczkowego SAFE są na ostatniej prostej. Jak poinformował MON, po wielu tygodniach negocjacji został on przyjęty przez stałych przedstawicieli państw członkowskich przy UE. Wdrożenie SAFE oznacza uruchomienie 150 mld euro niskooprocentowanych pożyczek na finansowanie inwestycji państw członkowskich w obronność. Wysiłki krajowe i unijne koncentrują się teraz na zwiększaniu potencjału europejskiego przemysłu obronnego i budowaniu zdolności obrony i odstraszania.

Roboty w służbie środowisku. Ograniczanie ilości odpadów możliwe dzięki automatyzacji

Sztuczna inteligencja i robotyka już dziś pomagają firmom ograniczać swój wpływ na środowisko. Korzyści z inwestycji w zaawansowaną automatyzację odczuwają także konsumenci. Przykładem może być automatyczny system pakowania wdrażany przez Amazon. Robot dostosowujący każdorazowo rozmiar papierowego opakowania do danego produktu pozwolił już zaoszczędzić 3 mln t materiału opakowaniowego, co oznacza dla kupujących mniej materiałów do utylizacji i prostszy recykling.
