LiveOps Supports Muscular Dystrophy Association Show of Strength Telethon

Redwood City, Calif. (PRWEB) August 29, 2014

LiveOps, Inc., the global leader in cloud contact center and customer service solutions, today announced that LiveOps has been selected as a call center provider for the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s (MDA) Show of Strength Telethon for the third year in a row. This fundraising and entertainment event raises money and awareness to support MDA’s mission to help children and adults affected by muscular dystrophy, an aggressive and sometimes fatal muscle disease. This year’s program includes performances by Bret Michaels, Jason Derulo, Aloe Blacc, Fall Out Boy, Rascall Flatts, LeAnn Rimes and many more. The telethon will air on the ABC Television Network on Sunday, August 31 at 9:00 p.m. / 8:00 p.m. Central Time.

“Over the past three years LiveOps has become a partner in this event, and we are thankful for the continued enthusiasm from the company’s community of agents,” said Kevin Moran, executive vice president and telethon producer, MDA. “Initially we were drawn to LiveOps because their solution offered the scalability and flexibility our telethon needed, but we have continued our relationship with LiveOps because of the quality of their agents. We know the agents taking calls on our behalf are truly passionate about our cause and their participation has become key to the event.”

With LiveOps scalable call center services model, MDA knows that all calls are handled quickly, including during peak times, but also that agents will not be sitting idle during less busy points of the telethon. This on-demand solution comprised of independent, at-home agents makes LiveOps the ideal partner for any organization that experiences call patterns with peaks and valleys, and has earned LiveOps Agent Services credibility with MDA and other telethons.

“We are immensely grateful for the opportunity to support MDA in the organization’s mission and to our community of independent agents who jumped at the chance to provide services in support of such a worthy cause for the third year running,” said Vasili Triant, chief executive officer, LiveOps. “We are looking forward to this weekend’s event and to continuing our relationship with MDA as we work together to help those affected by muscular dystrophy.”

To support MDA, and help raise awareness and funds to fight ALS, Triant participated in the #ALSIceBucketChallenge. Before getting drenched with not one, but two ice buckets, he committed LiveOps to donating to MDA and challenged LiveOps employees, clients, partners and affiliates to either donate their time or money to the cause.

About MDA Show of Strength Telethon


MDA’s first Labor Day weekend telethon was broadcast in 1966 on a single New York station and has become the most successful fundraising event in the history of television. The show, with its iconic host Jerry Lewis and with help from a legion of top celebrities and entertainers, has raised millions of dollars each year to provide life-enhancing support and services for the families MDA serves. The real stars on the broadcast have always been the MDA families who have graciously agreed to open their homes and hearts to America and tell their stories of strength. This year marks the 49th annual MDA Labor Day weekend telethon.

In addition to funds contributed by the public, substantial support also comes from MDA’s family of national sponsors, whose work throughout the year on behalf of MDA will be recognized on the telethon. Among the sponsors: International Association of Fire Fighters, CITGO Petroleum Corp., Lowe’s, Harley-Davidson Motor Co., Jiffy Lube International, National Association of Letter Carriers, The Safeway Foundation, 7-Eleven, Dr Pepper Snapple Group/7UP, Acosta and Burger King.    

Funds raised by past MDA telethons also have contributed to the organization’s worldwide research program. Today, with numerous clinical trials currently underway, there is growing excitement that new lifesaving treatments and discoveries are on the horizon for many of the disorders MDA is dedicated to defeating, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Dogtopia Expanding National Growth with New Riverside County, California Regional Developer Agreement

Tysons Corner, VA (PRWEB) August 29, 2014

Dogtopia, an award winning national dog daycare and recipient of Inc. 500/5000 List of America’s Fastest Growing Companies and Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500, announced today it has signed a regional developer agreement with Gary Whitaker to expand further into Riverside County, California. This agreement is part of Dogtopia’s aggressive growth strategy to open more than 400 locations across the U.S. and Canada over the next several years.

Whitaker, a successful business owner/operator in Southern California, is currently seeking qualified franchisee candidates and commercial space to open about nine Dogtopia locations throughout the region. The company is targeting Riverside County cities like Corona, Ontario, Norco, Fontana and others. The region’s flagship location, which will be owned by Whitaker, is slated to open Q4 of 2014, most likely in Ontario. This will be the second Dogtopia location in Riverside County; Dogtopia of Temecula, located at 27629 Commerce Center Dr., opened in 2008.

“With the strong year over year growth in the pet care industry and vast opportunities in this category, there were many compelling reason for me to become part of the Dogtopia franchise system,” said Gary Whitaker, Dogtopia Riverside County regional developer. “After meeting the team at corporate headquarters, I immediately saw the immense opportunity for other Riverside entrepreneurs, like myself, in this award-winning concept.”

Gary has a long history of success. In 1996, he and his partners purchased Fred Smith, Ltd., and created Desert European Motorcars, Ltd. He became not only the owner and GM, but the number one Rolls-Royce and Bentley salesperson in the world. Gary has become a master of service, sales and business management. A true entrepreneur at heart, he has also had great success with other business ventures in the service industry, fashion industry, entertainment industry, and now the pet care industry.

In 2002, Amy Nichols founded Dogtopia in part due to her own challenges finding suitable care for her Boston Terrier, Griffin, while she maintained a busy career. She was confident there were many other working professionals and busy families just like her looking for an alternative to leaving their beloved dog at home alone all day.

“We are dedicated to being best-in-class in our industry and look for other best-in-class partners to help Dogtopia realize its enterprising goals over the next several years. Gary has an impressive track record and a diverse business background. His experience combined with his enthusiasm for Dogtopia make it the perfect time for us to expand into Riverside County,” said Amy Nichols, CEO of Dogtopia. “As we continue to grow across North America with our regional developer model, it is critical to identify entrepreneurs like Gary who serve as local representatives for the brand and are focused on owning and managing a rapidly growing business. We also continue to seek out commercial lease space to accommodate this growth and provide the best locations for the communities we plan to operate in.”

As pet spending continues to increase, now is the ideal time for the Dogtopia franchise system. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), pet spending is estimated to reach an all-time high of more than $ 58.5 billion in the United States in 2014. Additionally, 68 percent of U.S. households own a pet, which equates to 82.5 million homes, demonstrating there is a significant population that could benefit from dog daycare and boarding services.

Since Dogtopia launched in 2002, it has grown to 30 locations with 18 additional currently under development across the U.S. and Canada. There are currently eight regional developers representing 95 future Dogtopia locations. Dogtopia’s design and color scheme mirrors that of an upscale spa, yet it is laid out in a similar manner to a children’s daycare facility; there are multiple playrooms to suit every dog’s personality and size. In addition to daycare and boarding, Dogtopia also offers a spa, self-service dog wash and a boutique to pamper dogs of all shapes and sizes.

For more information regarding Dogtopia franchise opportunities in Riverside County, contact Gary Whitaker at gwhitaker(at)dogdaycare(dot)com.

Cancer Research Funding Organization Now Accepts Bitcoin Donations

Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) August 28, 2014

Starting on Monday, the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation (Meso Foundation) is able to accept donations in Bitcoin, in addition to all the traditional ways to give. The Bitcoin donation page can be found at http://www.curemeso.org/bitcoin.

“As more and more businesses are accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment, we decided it was important for us to do the same,” said Meso Foundation’s chief executive officer, Melinda Kotzian.

Bitcoin is an online-only, internet currency, started in 2009. Bitcoin donations can be easily, and immediately following a donation, converted into any other currency, including the US Dollar.

“We do not want anything to stand in our way of raising funds to fund mesothelioma research, education, support, and advocacy. Our goal is to save lives, and we’ll do whatever it takes to get there,” Ms. Kotzian added.

Mesothelioma is a malignant tumor of the lining of the lung, abdomen, or heart known to be caused by exposure to asbestos. With the life expectancy of less than one year after diagnosis, medical experts consider it one of the most aggressive and deadly of all cancers. An estimated one-third of those who develop mesothelioma were exposed while serving in the Navy or working in shipyards. Currently, few treatment options exist. There is no cure.

ABOUT THE MESOTHELIOMA APPLIED RESEARCH FOUNDATION


The Meso Foundation is the only 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to eradicating mesothelioma and easing the suffering caused by this cancer. The Meso Foundation actively seeks philanthropic support to fund mesothelioma research; provide patient support services and education; and advocate Congress for increased federal funding for mesothelioma research. The Meso Foundation is the only non-government funder of peer-reviewed scientific research to develop life-saving treatments for this extremely aggressive cancer. To date, the Foundation has awarded over $ 8.7 million to research. More information is available at http://www.curemeso.org.

Sunset Reputation Announces Reputation Management Services Specifically Designed for Personal Trainers

(PRWEB) August 28, 2014

There are many professions that rely on a strong reputation and referrals from former clients. During a time in which more and more consumers are seeking information on an individual’s professional reputation from the Internet, it is becoming increasingly important that a positive online presence is maintained. This is especially true for individuals who are working in the fitness industry, and personal trainers should take great care in maintaining a professional reputation online. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for a personal trainer to be victimized by a poor online presence as a result of inaccurate and misleading information being posted to the Internet. It is for this reason that Sunset Reputation has introduced a new reputation management service that is specifically designed for personal trainers.

There are many reasons why a personal trainer’s reputation may be harmed by misinformation supplied by former clients, and the damage caused by this misinformation can be significant. Since personal trainers often rely on individual clients to be successful in their field, it is important that any negative information be corrected as quickly and as efficiently as possible. The new service offered by Sunset Reputation seeks to accomplish this through the use of a number of different strategies that the company has found to be exceptionally effective.

“We have worked with a number of personal trainers in the past and have seen the impact that their negative online presence had on them,” said Brandon Hopkins of Sunset Reputation. “We saw that there was a pattern of strategies that worked best in reputation management campaigns for these individuals and, after thorough research and development, we believe we have a service that will be especially effective for any personal trainer.”

The reputation management service is available immediately through Sunset Reputation, and the company has long believed that it is very important for prospective clients to take corrective action as soon as possible. In the case of personal trainers, for example, the impact of a negative online presence will only become more severe as time passes if that presence is allowed to linger. Through the use of the service offered by Sunset Reputation, this issue can be corrected quickly and easily.

Sunset Reputation


Sunset Reputation was founded with one goal in mind: helping businesses and individuals clean up and maintain a positive online reputation. Sunset Reputation is an experienced reputation management company that specializes in public relations, marketing, media management, press releases, search engine optimization (SEO) and link building.

From now until September 30th, all online orders qualify for free shipping and are backed by a 100% price match guarantee. Prevent slips, control moisture, and promote brand image with eye-catching mats, runners, umbrella bag stands, and much more from Eaglemat.com.

Fall marks the start of a dangerous time to be in business. In the southeast, tropical storms loom over the Atlantic and threaten coastal cities. Along the mid-Atlantic and northeast, wind and rain quickly transforms sidewalks, entryways, and lobby spaces into dangerous areas for guests to use. And across the United States, Fall marks a critical turning point in retail and storefront traffic. As the lull of summer fades, American businesses must prepare for the spike in customer foot-traffic caused by back-to-school shopping, Halloween, and the coming winter holiday season.

The hustle-and-bustle of Fall shopping is met by businesses and property owners with both excited anticipation, and caution. Slip and fall accidents are among the most common causes for injury and corresponding legal disputes in the United States, particularly among commercial property owners.

To reduce exposure to liability, Eagle Mat recommends businesses and property owners retrofit facilities with new mats to control incoming water, moisture, and debris. To help clients find the right category of safety mat, Eagle Mat invites readers to visit the Eagle Mat Blog for this free mat selection infographic.
