100 Houstonians in Harris and Ft. Bend Counties Awarded a Total of $1 Million Through Comcast RISE, National Initiative to Support Small Business Owners

Comcast Houston

Comcast today announced the 100 recipients of the Comcast Rise Investment Fund grants. Each small business will receive a one-time $10,000 grant from the fund. More than 100 businesses in the area will also receive technology and marketing resources. The recipients are among nearly 6,700 entrepreneurs nationwide who have been selected through the Comcast RISE program, which provides marketing, technology, and capital support to small business owners. “We are proud of all of our small businesses, the impact they have in Fort Bend County is invaluable. Many of our business owners, particularly our minority owned businesses, have faced unprecedented challenges over the past year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and require a wide range of support to help their businesses survive,” stated Fort Bend County Judge KP George. “The Comcast Rise Investment Fund Grant provides these business owners with the critical financial lifeline and the resources needed so they can sustain and grow their businesses.” Through Comcast RISE, the company also announced it is on track to support 13,000 small businesses by the end of the year with marketing or technology support such as a TV campaign, production of a TV commercial or consulting services from Effectv, the advertising sales division of Comcast Cable, or computer equipment, internet, voice or cybersecurity services from Comcast Business. “Since we launched Comcast RISE a year ago, we have assisted more than 200 small businesses throughout the Houston area with either marketing, technology, or monetary grants. This round of Comcast RISE grants will provide even more small business owners of color with the resources and tools they need to thrive,” said Ralph Martinez, senior vice president for Comcast’s Houston region. “We look forward to empowering their success.” To further build on the program’s success and provide support to even more small businesses, Comcast also announced today a major expansion to eligibility, enabling all women-owned small businesses nationwide to apply. This expansion recognizes and seeks to help address the persistent inequities women continue to face in accessing the resources and funding that are critical to success. Comcast RISE and the Comcast RISE Investment Fund, initially launched as a response to help small businesses owners of color hardest hit by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, continue to focus on uplifting small businesses, ensuring they continue to prosper in an ever-shifting post-pandemic economy. “As we continue to rebuild and emerge from the effects of the pandemic, small businesses will continue to be the backbone of our economy – and we must take every opportunity to help them thrive,” said Dave Watson, President and CEO, Comcast Cable. “Looking forward, this expansion will enable Comcast RISE to further empower and strengthen even more small businesses that are the heart of our local communities across the country.” In the year since its inception, Comcast RISE has awarded more than $11 million in grants and $50 million in in-kind support for marketing and technology services, impacting more than 6,700 entrepreneurs of color in 432 cities across 34 states. By the end of 2022, 13,000 businesses across the country are expected to benefit from the Comcast RISE initiative, either through the grant program or from the resources provided through Effectv and Comcast Business. In addition to the financial and business support services provided, a key part of the program is ensuring the long-term sustainability of businesses. To help address this, Comcast invests in and partners with organizations such as Ureeka to provide ongoing mentorship and resources to help small businesses succeed over the long-term. Comcast RISE, which stands for Representation, Investment, Strength, and Empowerment, is part of Project UP, Comcast’s comprehensive initiative to advance digital equity and help provide underrepresented small business owners with access to the digital tools and funding they need to thrive. Over the next 10 years, Comcast has committed $1 billion to programs and partnerships that will reach an estimated 50 million people with the skills, opportunities, and resources they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world. The program will continue to be open to racially and ethnically diverse small business owners and the expanded Comcast RISE eligibility to all women-owned businesses will be effective on January 16, 2022. More information and the applications to apply for either the grant program or marketing and technology services are available at www.ComcastRISE.com. To help drive outreach and awareness about Comcast RISE and provide additional support, training and mentorship, Comcast has also awarded $50,000 in grants to local community partners – Houston Hispanic Chamber, Houston Black Chamber, Empresarios Latinos Foundation, Houston LGBT Chamber, Asian Chamber of Commerce, Greater Houston Women’s Foundation and East End Chamber of Commerce.

Phu Quoc United Center welcomes the first group of tourists with vaccine passports to Vietnam

Vingroup

On November 20th, 2021, Phu Quoc City, Kien Giang Province welcomed the first international tourists to Vietnam in the "new normal" after nearly 2 years frozen due to the COVID pandemic. A Vietjet Air flight brought more than 200 Korean tourists to Phu Quoc to experience a 5-day and 4-night vacation at one-stop-destination Phu Quoc United Center. HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach - 20 November 2021 - The welcome ceremony was held at Phu Quoc International Airport with the participation of the General Director of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism Nguyen Trung Khanh, Deputy Director of Vietnam Civil Aviation Department Vo Huy Cuong, leaders of Kien Giang Province and ministries, as well as representatives of Vietjet Air, Vinpearl Joint Stock Company and Marketing Highland Travel Company. The tourists can perceive a safe and hospitable Vietnam right from the moment they are welcomed on board with many interesting activities and surprises during their flight with Vietjet Air. In addition to that, they will join a special journey to explore and experience the one-stop destination Phu Quoc United Center - a world-class ecosystem of tourism, experience, discovery, shopping, festival and arts with the highest safety standard. Upon entry, travelers must go through airport health screening, and install IGOVN and PC-COVID mobile applications before moving directly to the resort. All tourists will stay at Vinpearl Resort & Spa Phu Quoc, which has been allowed to welcome international guests in separated zones. Here, they will have time to relax and experience a "travel bubble" journey at Phu Quoc United Center which has been customized for them: staying in 5-star hotel rooms and villas, exploring sport and entertainment activities at Vinpearl Golf, VinWonders theme park, Vinpearl Safari, Corona Casino and the sleepless city of Grand World Phu Quoc. All tourists must have quick COVID-19 tests on the first and last day of their vacation. With negative test results, they can visit, entertain, dine and shop in designated zones at Phu Quoc United Center. Throughout the journey, travelers are always advised to monitor their own health and ensure compliance with the "5K message" (Masks, Disinfection, Distance, No gathering, Health declaration) and disease prevention measures. To ensure the maximum peace of mind for each visitor, in addition to strictly complying with the guidelines in the implementation plan for the vaccine passport program, all units of Vinpearl continue to keep the 24/7 three-layer shield of maximum control, ensuring the strictest internal hygiene regulations compared to international standards while implementing an advanced set of safety standards. All staff who serve the tourists with vaccine passports must follow the rule of "3 on-the-spot": isolated to ensure the highest safety, having all contact schedules monitored and body temperature checked at the beginning and the end of their working day. Considered as the opening event for the vaccine passport pilot program in Phu Quoc in particular and in Vietnam in general, this is an important start marking an acceleration in efforts to recover the national tourism industry as well as national economic development in the new context. After this first group of tourists on November 20, 2021, Phu Quoc expects to receive 20 international flights per month in the upcoming time. About Phu Quoc United Center Located on the coast of Bai Dai beach in the North of the "pearl island" and covering 1,044 hectares, Phu Quoc United Center is considered a top destination for the "vaccine passport" program, with a world-class ecosystem of tourism, experience, discovery, shopping, festival and arts.

Getting into the Holiday ‘Spirit’

YourUpdateTV

To celebrate of the upcoming holiday season, independent spirits brand, Lobos 1707 Tequila & Mezcal launched an exciting program, Build a Bigger Table x Friendsgiving. As part of Lobos 1707’s ongoing mission to “build a bigger table,” this new and charitable initiative encourages consumers to give back to local communities. Recently, Founder & Chief Creative Officer for Lobos 1707 Tequila, Diego Osorio, and Partner and Mixologist at The Honey Well in New York City, Marcio Ramos, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the new initiative and popular drinks for the holiday season. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/iiCt_5JYiP8 During the month of November, Lobos 1707 will support World Central Kitchen (WCK) in their mission to end hunger. For every bottle of Lobos 1707 purchased on Reservebar.com, one meal will be donated to World Central Kitchen. Founded in 2010, World Central Kitchen uses the power of food to nourish communities and strengthen economies in times of crisis and beyond. For every bottle of Lobos 1707 purchased on Reservebar.com, one meal will be donated to World Central Kitchen. A bottle of tequila can always make a memorable gift for anyone from the expert mixologists or someone just starting to explore agave spirits. People are starting to learn that tequila is not just made for a typical margarita, as more offerings become more available for all kinds of preferences like the bright and bold Joven, refined Reposado, the masterfully crafted top shelf Extra Añejo or sultry Mezcal Artesanal. The brand uses half a century old PX Sherry barrels from Spain to finish tequila and mezcal made from 100% pure Mexican agave; it’s how they achieve the unique taste and quality of the liquid. This holiday season try the ‘All for the Pack’ cocktail. The libation hits all the check marks, featuring holiday flavors like apple and cinnamon, with the deep and slightly spicy 1707 Mezcal Artisanal. If you’re making this for a group of close friends and family you can definitely add some flair with a simple trick of torching the cinnamon stick sure to get the crowd going. For more information, visit lobos1707.com About Diego Osorio: Diego Osorio is the Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Lobos 1707, a tequila brand that launched in 2020. Ten years ago, Diego discovered the story of his namesake great-great grandfather's legacy as a Spanish Viceroy King, who transported Pedro Ximénez Sherry barrels from Spain to Mexico. Once the sherry depleted, they filled the empty barrels with an agave spirit (now known as tequila), allowing the tequila to barrel age during their journey home. Diego made it his mission to replicate the traditional agave-based recipe enjoyed by his forefathers for centuries. With Lobos 1707, his goal is to create a brand that encourages unity, legacy, and authenticity, and represents the endangered subspecies of humans who are intentional, audacious, and balance the art of being unapologetically genuine while still caring for the greater good of the pack.
