Some food for thought as you watch the amazing athletes at the Olympics this year. "In a survey of about 1,000 American athletes in the Olympic and Paralympic pipelines, 26.5% reported individual incomes under $15,000 a year." We love watching our country's athletes compete on the world stage, but remember that most are 1) not receiving extra $$$ from the big media and corporate endorsement $$, and 2) even if they get a boost in the Olympic weeks, they've gone through YEARS of hard work and struggle to get there. At Spid Werkz Foundation, we are here to help extraordinary athletes bridge financial and support gaps. With help from you, we can change the story for future athletes and use sport for good across the world! Please consider a tax deductible donation to support Olympic and Paralympic athletes! https://lnkd.in/eqacx6-2

🎾 Calling all tennis fans! 🎾 If you're a #tennis enthusiast, add the #Miami Open to your must-see list. It offers a fantastic opportunity to witness the world's top players battling it out in a breathtaking venue while immersing yourself in the exhilarating atmosphere of one of the most significant tournaments on the tennis calendar. Read all about it here: https://hubs.ly/Q02nWQBj0 The Miami Open, being a prestigious tennis tournament and major social event, attracts a significant number of high-net-worth individuals from around the world. This influx of #wealthy individuals brings about a positive impact on the local #economy, as they contribute to increased spending on #luxury goods, services, and #RealEstate. It's worth noting that this connection primarily focuses on the event's economic influence on Miami, rather than its implications on #taxation. It's not uncommon for high-net-worth individuals attending the Miami Open to also take part in #philanthropic events or make generous #donations to #charities connected to the tournament. This act of giving not only makes a positive impact but may also provide potential tax deductions based on individual circumstances and relevant #TaxLaws. #MiamiOpen #LuxurySports #Sports

Is it just me or is this month flying by? We only have just a little over a week left to send out this hairy season in well-manicured style. It's been a journey, so let’s bring this Movember home with a bang. By now you’ve surely seen the Mo’s sprouting and spreading all around you. While I recommend resisting the urge to touch or stroke your colleagues’ Mo’s, please don’t be shy when it comes to heaping on the praise. In addition to raising critical funds for men’s health, Movember is also about encouraging open and honest conversations. With that in mind, I wanted to share Patrick Chan’s story where Olympic figure skater, Patrick Chan, reflects on his career in sport. From his care-free first time on the ice, to the Olympics and home again. The wins, the expectations, the pressure, and his message to the next generation. Patrick Mo’s with the hope that his son will grow up in a world with less stigma and more space for men and young boys to talk about their feelings. Read and see his full story: https://bit.ly/3QHMHDF Eight days of hairy goodness left. And it’s all in the name of helping men live healthier, longer lives. Let’s get to it. Please donate here: https://lnkd.in/g5v-mdw5 #movember2024 #movember #movemberfoundation #charity #mentalhealth #research #health #prostatecancer #menshealth #testicularcancer #canada

✨ Have you ever watched Paralympic Sitting Volleyball? ✨ Take a moment to check out this incredible clip of USA Volleyball Women facing China in the Paris 2024 Gold Medal match—where they secured their third straight gold! 🏅🏅🏅 The pace is electric, the skill is mind-blowing, and the passion? Unmatched. But what’s truly inspiring is the journey behind the game. These women are not just athletes—they’re balancing careers, family, and the demands of competing on the international stage. And here’s the thing: they aren’t doing it for the money. Like many Olympic and Paralympic athletes, their motivation runs deeper. When you support organizations like the USA Volleyball Foundation you’re doing more than just funding a sport. You’re empowering athletes like these women with limb differences to be role models, showing young amputees—and girls everywhere—that they, too, can dream big and achieve greatness. It’s not just about winning medals; it’s about showing what’s possible on the biggest stage. 🏐💪 Let’s celebrate and support these incredible women, paving the way for future generations. As my 50th Birthday-50k steps-$50,000 fundraiser kicks off, this is one of the organizations I will be raising money for. Keep following along the journey! #Paralympics #SittingVolleyball #USAVolleyball #Inspiration #AdaptiveSports #WomenInSports

Something tells us that after yesterday's 13th Annual JLL Real Estate Charity Beach Volleyball Tournament (congrats to the winners!) and a demanding morning, your minds are already on the weekend 😎 And we don't blame you!—we were there too! That's why we recommend checking out more books from our library. This time, our CEO, Tom—one of the biggest bookaholics on our team—shares his picks 🔥. On the list https://lnkd.in/drXSmcWU , you'll find: 📖 one book he’s read 3 or more times, 📖 one book he’s read twice, 📖 one book he’s read once, 📖 and one book he likes to jump across. Because more is better, right? In the photo: the library at the Grupa Pracuj office (source: press materials). Nice, isn't it? 🙃 If you have a book nook set up at your place, share a photo in the comments.

The Leadership Advisory Council with Make-A-Wish Michigan is still looking for sponsors for our 3rd Annual Golf Outing at Thornapple Point on August 5th! If you're not familiar with Make-A-Wish Michigan (MAWM). MAWM makes wishes come true for children with a critical illness across the state of Michigan. A few fun facts: 💸 Every dollar raised in Michigan stays in Michigan. ⏳ A child is diagnosed with a critical illness every 20 minutes. 🏥 An estimated 800+ children will be diagnosed with a critical illness this year. 💫 While doctors provide the medicine, Make-A-Wish Michigan supplies the magic that provides a positive life-changing experience. 👨⚕️ Most notably, 75% of surveyed doctors said a wish could improve a child’s medical outcomes. ⭐ While each wish is truly unique, most fall into one of five categories: I wish to be, I wish to go, I wish to have, I wish to meet, and I wish to give. Join me in helping raise funds for this critical mission - sponsorships start at $250! https://lnkd.in/gD4ART4F

Please have a read of this post, a great effort been put in by these two! If you can spare some money please donate, and share the post so more people see what they are doing.
Today - Friday 16th August 2024, marks 75 days since Mhairi and I set off on our 7m rowing boat to row around Britain. Since setting off, we have not had any external support - or gone ashore. We had hoped to have been home around ten days ago, however the good old British summer has held us back. My before and current photo says a lot about what we have endured so far, but we chose to be here. Why the long post? Well, we need your help. We are raising vital funds for two amazing charities. Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) and RNLI Please have a look our website for more information, and if you feel like donating, you will not only help the charity(s), but give us a massive mental boost by seeing your support. We have well under 300nm to go, and your support would mean the world to us. Thank you! www.thelongrowhome.co.uk https://lnkd.in/ecFW7T55
