California Safe Schools Honors 2025 Earth Day Heroes and Celebrates its 27th Anniversary

Since its founding, CSS has remained steadfast in its mission to safeguard students, teachers, staff, and surrounding neighborhoods from exposure to toxic chemicals and environmental harm

LOS ANGELES, Calif., April 21, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In celebration of Earth Day 2025, California Safe Schools (CSS) is proud to recognize eight remarkable individuals whose unwavering dedication to protecting human health, inspiring youth leadership, and safeguarding the environment exemplifies the true spirit of environmental stewardship.

“This year’s honorees embody the power of commitment, compassion, and community action,” said Robina Suwol, Founder and Executive Director of California Safe Schools. “Their leadership and tireless work are shaping a healthier future for all of us — and we’re honored to celebrate their achievements.”

This Spring also marks the 27th anniversary of California Safe Schools (CSS), a pioneering force in children’s environmental health. Since its founding, CSS has remained steadfast in its mission to safeguard students, teachers, staff, and surrounding neighborhoods from exposure to toxic chemicals and environmental harm. CSS continues to work closely with frontline communities and regulatory agencies to address critical threats to clean air, safe water, and healthy soil.

“On this Earth Day and 27th anniversary of the California Safe Schools, I applaud the organization for their continued commitment to empowering our youth and communities. Their dedication continues to play a vital role in ensuring we all uplift environmental justice,” said Los Angeles County Chair Pro Tem and Supervisor to the First District, Hilda L. Solis.

CSS first earned national recognition for leading the development and adoption of the Los Angeles Unified School District’s groundbreaking Integrated Pest Management Policy — the most stringent pesticide safety policy for K-12 schools in the United States. The Integrated Pest Management Policy was the first to formally adopt both the “Precautionary Principle” and “Right to Know,” setting a gold standard for transparency and public health protections. This landmark achievement not only influenced California’s Healthy Schools Act but also helped guide school districts nationwide to develop their own Integrated Pest Management policies. Today, Los Angeles Unified School District’s policy remains a model for communities worldwide striving to protect children and vulnerable populations from harmful chemical exposure.

CALIFORNIA SAFE SCHOOLS PROUDLY HONORS THE FOLLOWING 2025 EARTH DAY HEROES:

LESLIE MENJIVAR, President, Los Angeles Tenth District Parent Teacher Student Association

Honored for empowering students and families through education and advocacy, including championing student leadership within the Parent Teacher Student Association and strengthening community ties through initiatives like the White Middle School garden and service with the Salvation Army. Her theme, Inspire to Make a Difference, reflects her deep commitment to creating opportunities for young people to thrive both in and beyond the classroom.

MARTIN SCHLAGETER, Special Assistant to the General Manager, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California

Celebrated for more than 35 years of leadership in public service, nonprofit advocacy, and environmental policy — including the development of Metropolitan Water District’s new climate adaptation strategy to safeguard water supplies for millions of Southern Californians. His past roles include key positions at StreetsLA, the Los Angeles City Council District 14, and environmental groups like the Coalition for Clean Air, Sierra Club, and Friends of the Los Angeles River.

MICHAEL HENRY HAYDEN, Co-Founder and President, Lincoln Heights Community Coalition

Recognized for his grassroots environmental advocacy in Lincoln Heights, where his research helped uncover a hidden toxic dumping site and sparked an ongoing cleanup to protect residents. His work also helped block a diesel-heavy warehouse project near homes and Hillside Elementary, preventing added pollution in one of Los Angeles’ most impacted neighborhoods.

RYAN PARENT, Attorney and Member, Los Angeles Unified School District Integrated Pest Management Committee

Recognized for his commitment as both a father of three Los Angeles Unified School District students and a dedicated volunteer with his local Parent Teacher Association and the Integrated Pest Management Committee where he helps ensure that the district’s pest management practices comply with federal and state regulations, thereby reducing risks to students, staff, and the environment.

SUSIE DE SANTIAGO, President, Cudahy Youth Foundation and Founding Member, Cudahy Alliance for Justice

Commended for her tireless advocacy on behalf of youth and families in the City of Cudahy. From helping stop the construction of a school on a contaminated site to supporting local schools in creating green spaces, she continues to be an inspiration to others to take action for healthier communities.

WILLIAM ROSS, Health Advocate, California State Parent Teacher Association

Applauded for over a decade of advocacy for children through the Los Angeles Unified School District’s Parent Teacher Association, Bond Oversight Committee, and as a longtime supporter of the Integrated Pest Management Committee. As a Health Advocate for the California State Parent Teacher Association, Bill continues to champion the implementation of health laws and practices that protect students and school communities across the state.

PERLA ELBAZ, Youth Leadership Initiative for Greener Communities

Highlighted for her role in forming the Youth Leadership Initiative for Greener Communities, a student-led effort dedicated to bringing the beauty and benefits of wild spaces into areas of the city where they are lacking. The group’s ambitious goal is to plant 1,000 new trees to combat pollution and promote community well-being. Now a sophomore at Louisville High School, Perla hopes to pursue a future in international peace and conflict resolution, with a focus on the environmental roots of global challenges.

MARTINO JESUS TORRES, Gardener and Animal Lover

A fourth grader at Raymond Case Elementary in Sacramento, Martino is already an avid gardener and animal lover. He helps tend the family garden, harvests crops like corn, chili, and tomatoes, and cares for his pets, including collecting eggs from hens, feeding rabbits, and grooming his three dogs. His love for nature and animals celebrates the essence of Earth Day — inspiring others to join in caring for our planet.

“On behalf of Council District 4, we would like to thank California Safe Schools for 27 years of working to promote environmental health and protect children across the state,” said Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman. “By bringing together activists, parents, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies, CSS has been a vital watchdog and advocate, ensuring our children have access to safe and healthy learning environments.”

Each honoree was presented with a specially designed award created by acclaimed artist Michael Bruza and engraved by Anderson Trophy — a lasting symbol of gratitude for their inspiring contributions.

Gonzales, Holmes & Muhoza Win 2025 Top Postdoctoral Awards

The NPA names in Boston the winners of its NPA Gallagher Mentor Award, NPA Distinguished Service Award, and NPA SCRI Postdoc of the Year Award

BOSTON, Mass., March 21, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — During its annual conference, the National Postdoctoral Association (NPA) announced that Albert L. Gonzales, Ph.D., Christine Holmes, MBA, and Sixbert P. Muhoza, Ph.D., are the 2025 winners of the organization’s three most prestigious awards.

Image caption: National Postdoctoral Association (NPA).

“The NPA is committed to improving the postdoctoral experience and these three awards acknowledge the critical role postdocs and those who support them play in advancing knowledge and improving the human condition,” said Christopher T. Smith, Ph.D., chair of the NPA board. “Congratulations to this year’s well-deserved winners.”

The NPA Gallagher Mentor Award recognizes the very best of mentors across the nation who advocate for postdoctoral scholars, celebrate diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) values, and empower their postdoc scholars to succeed. The NPA is dedicated to both recognizing champions and serving as a model for greater DEIB across the postdoctoral community.

This year’s award was presented to Albert. L. Gonzales, assistant professor, department of physiology and cellular biology, at the University of Nevada, Reno. In the words of those supporting Gonzales for the Gallagher Mentor Award, “his philosophy is rooted in the belief that diversity of thought enhances scientific inquiry and innovation.” Another noted: “His mentorship has enriched the postdoctoral experience at our institution by setting a standard of excellence that inspires all who work with him.”

The NPA Distinguished Service Award recognizes the highest appreciation for an individual who has demonstrated a profound, sustained, or leadership contribution to improving the postdoctoral experience. Today, that honor was bestowed on Christine Holmes, MBA, director for postdoctoral studies at Cornell University.

Holmes received the award today to a field of applauding peers who celebrated her decades of support for the postdoctoral community. Holmes founded the Office of Postdoctoral Studies at Cornell when she became its first director in 1995. “She created important new structures to uplift and support postdoctoral scholars on a shoestring budget,” according to her peers who nominated her. “She has had a uniquely profound and sustained impact … on the lives of thousands of early-career scholars.”

This year, the NPA and Seattle Children’s Research Institute (SCRI) presented its second annual Postdoc of the Year Award, bestowing that honor on Sixbert P. Muhoza, Ph.D., a Walter Massey Fellow at the Argonne National Laboratory. The NPA SCRI award recognizes a postdoc who has advanced the postdoctoral community in an exceptional manner beyond their work duties and in alignment with the NPA mission and core values.

In nominating Muhoza for this prestigious award, faculty members applauded his innovation and dedication, noting that he “has made substantial contributions to the scientific community and beyond during his fellowship, setting a new standard for postdoctoral excellence.”

“It’s an honor simply to work alongside these three individuals in the postdoctoral community,” said Tom Kimbis, executive director and chief executive officer of the NPA. “Holmes, Gonzales, and Muhoza are among the best of the best. Their excellence demonstrates the irreplaceable role of postdocs in the greater research environment. Postdocs are essential for maintaining American leadership in the sciences and beyond.”

Individuals and organizations can follow the work of Holmes, Gonzales, and Muhoza online by collaborating with the NPA, which is committed to advancing the skills and careers of our nation’s hard-working postdoctoral scholars, whose work in all disciplines benefits Americans across all fifty states.

About the National Postdoctoral Association:

The National Postdoctoral Association (NPA) is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) charitable and educational association headquartered in Bethesda, MD. Founded in 2003, the NPA envisions an inclusive community where all postdocs are empowered, valued, recognized, and supported in their current and future endeavors. The NPA serves the entire postdoctoral community, including its 24,000 individual and 250 organizational members.

Eagle Scout Who Saved Family Home from Palisades Fire Honored by MAGLITE with its Maglite-Tough Civilian Hero Award

Andrew Grinsfelder built a DIY generator and pump system that drew water from the family swimming pool to save house from destruction in the firestorm

ONTARIO, Calif., March 5, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — With flames bearing down on their home from the catastrophic Palisades fire, Andrew Grinsfelder found no water coming to their house to save it from destruction. So, the Eagle-Scout used a generator and pump, attached a hose, and pumped water from the family swimming pool. He then got onto the roof and used the system he had just created to save the house by keeping the roof wet with the pool water. But his heroics did not end there. Disregarding his safety, he and his mother went through their neighborhood to assist others. For these acts, he has been recognized with the Maglite-Tough Civilian Hero Award.

Image caption: MAGLITE®.

Maglite created this award to honor civilians who perform extraordinarily in challenging and even dire circumstances. It also reflects the values of toughness and reliability that underlie our products and the people who use them. The award’s first recipient was Gary Fishbone, who saved many people’s lives by leading them out of the World Trade Center Basement on 9/11 using a mini Maglite. Another Los Angeles teen honored was Hailey Morinico, who fought off a Momma Bear and her cubs menacing her dog in her Bradbury home in the San Gabriel Mountains of Los Angeles County.

“What Andrew did was extraordinarily brave and ingenious,” said Tony Maglica, Founder of Maglite. “We are happy to honor him, and I am sure this young man has a very bright future ahead of him.”

Andrew’s family has a long history with Maglites. “We’ve always had Maglite flashlights in our family as long as I can remember,” said Andrew. “They are very reliable, just about indestructible, so they are a great product for preparedness because bad things just don’t happen in daylight. We also appreciate that they are manufactured here in the USA so we can feel good about buying them and supporting American workers.”

Ethical Traveler Announces 2025’s ‘Ten Best Ethical Destinations’ Awards

BERKELEY, Calif., March 4, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Every year, California-based Ethical Traveler reviews the world’s developing nations for their commitment to human rights, social welfare, environmental protection, and animal welfare. The ten destinations showing the most impressive progress are honored with “Best Ethical Destinations” Awards. These worthy countries, many of which are island nations, stand to benefit greatly from our travel dollars. In a world challenged by climate change and a rise in political polarization, recognizing and rewarding best practices is essential.

Image caption: Ethical Traveler.

After the global shut-downs and loss of revenue wrought by COVID-19, we enter 2025 with renewed wanderlust. But the world won’t recover overnight. This is especially true of the international travel industry — which employs one out of ten people worldwide. The recent challenges to travel and tourism have had a lasting impact across this vast sector of human society.

Visiting our winning destinations will help these nations continue their impressive work in social justice and environmental stewardship. By “voting with our wings” we can reward these nations for their efforts and motivate neighboring countries to do the same.

IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER (NOT IN ORDER OF MERIT), THE WINNERS ARE:

Barbados
Botswana
Cabo Verde
Chile
Costa Rica
Dominica
Fiji
Palau
Panama
Uruguay

“With the pandemic hopefully behind us,” says Ethical Traveler’s executive director Jeff Greenwald, “all of us can play an active role in redefining what travel is, and how it might enhance the lives of people around the world. When we visit the countries on our list — all of which have taken extraordinary steps to increase the welfare of their people while safeguarding their natural treasures — we’re expressing our admiration and support in a tangible and meaningful way.”

Adds Greenwald, “Since the launch of the first smartphone in the summer of 2007, the world has become ever more interconnected. Yet as all enterprising travelers know, there is still plenty of ‘out there’ out there. The winning countries on our 2025 list are great alternatives to the over-loved canals of Europe and beaches of Southeast Asia. Not only are they gorgeous and uncrowded, their national leadership has demonstrated a sincere commitment to practices that protect the environment and benefit Indigenous populations.”

“We inhabit and share the resources of a small planet, stunning in its beauty, diversity, and fragility,” says Greenwald. “Our only path to survival lies with taking care of each other. And this begins with knowing each other. We at Ethical Traveler passionately believe that travel can be more than a personal voyage of discovery. It shows us what it means to be human.”

Concurrent with the announcement of the winning countries, Ethical Traveler will launch a new photo gallery, featuring images by renowned photojournalist Robert Holmes.

Down Payment Resource receives ICE Mortgage Technology’s 2025 Innovation Award for Technology Partner of the Year

The recognition highlights DPR's integration with Encompass, which helps lenders connect homebuyers with homebuyer assistance programs

ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 27, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Down Payment Resource (DPR), the housing industry’s leading technology for connecting homebuyers with homebuyer assistance programs, today announced that it has been named the 2025 ICE Innovation Technology Partner of the Year by Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (ICE), a leading global provider of data, technology and market infrastructure.

Image caption: Down Payment Resource.

The ICE Innovation Awards recognize industry leaders pushing the envelope by creating extraordinary solutions for housing professionals in partnership with ICE Mortgage Technology.

DPR’s integration with Encompass® by ICE Mortgage Technology debuted during ICE Experience 2024. Available on the Encompass Partner Connect (EPC) platform via APIs, the integration makes it easier for lenders to support homebuyers with the nation’s 2,400-plus down payment assistance (DPA) programs. Using DPA can lower the borrower’s loan-to-value (LTV) ratio by an average of 6%, helping more low-to-moderate income (LMI) borrowers qualify for a mortgage.

DPR’s integration with Encompass embeds operational support for DPA programs directly into core loan production systems, arming lending staff with the information they need to confidently offer and manufacture these programs. Based on declarations and loan application data, borrowers are automatically matched with eligible company-approved DPA programs. LOs are presented with program information, such as benefit amounts and eligibility requirements, so they can advise borrowers on their DPA options and guide them through program-specific processes. Also, program selections are automatically communicated downstream to underwriters by translating program requirements into importable loan conditions, making them easier to manage.

“We are extremely pleased ICE has shined such a bright light on this integration, which addresses a long-standing gap in making DPA program information accessible within the LOS so loan officers can help more borrowers take advantage of DPA opportunities,” said DPR Founder and CEO Rob Chrane. “As the only partner in the network providing this critical service, DPR is playing a critical role in helping lenders make homeownership more accessible for first-time and LMI buyers.”

Encompass Partner Connect enables the integration of key third-party products and services with ICE Mortgage Technology solutions. ICE does not own, control, nor endorse any specific industry participant or the product/service provided. Loan originators and servicers are responsible for vetting, selecting, and contracting with the providers of their choosing.

About Down Payment Resource:

Down Payment Resource (DPR) is the housing industry authority on homebuyer assistance program data and solutions. With a database that tracks more than 2,400 programs and toolsets for mortgage lenders, multiple listing services (MLSs) and API users, DPR helps housing professionals connect homebuyers with the assistance they need. DPR frequently lends its expertise to nonprofits, housing finance agencies, policymakers, government-sponsored enterprises and trade organizations seeking to improve housing affordability. Its technology is used by seven of the top 25 mortgage lenders, the three largest real estate listing websites and 600,000 real estate agents.

Down Payment Resource honors Mosi Gatling with its Beverly Faull Affordable Housing Leadership Award and Skyler Lemons with its inaugural Emerging Leader Award

The Beverly Faull award program recognizes individuals or organizations for accomplishments and leadership in the affordable housing finance space

ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 26, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Down Payment Resource (DPR), the housing industry’s leading technology for connecting homebuyers with homebuyer assistance programs, announced today that it has honored Mosi Gatling of New American Funding (NAF) with the 2024 Beverly Faull Affordable Housing Leadership Award, and Skyler Lemons of Exit Strategy Realty with hits inaugural Emerging Leader Award. Both recipients were recognized for their commitment to advancing homeownership opportunities by leveraging homebuyer assistance programs.

Image caption: Mosi Gatling (L) and Skyler Lemons (R), recipients of Down Payment Resource’s 2025 Beverly Faull Affordable Housing Leadership Award and inaugural Emerging Leader Award.

Mosi Gatling: Beverly Faull Award Recipient

Now in its eighth year, the Beverly Faull Affordable Housing Leadership Award recognizes an individual or organization that has exhibited a steadfast commitment to expanding access to affordable homeownership. DPR created the award program in memory of one of its first employees, Beverly Faull, for her wholehearted dedication to the company’s mission to improve access to homebuyer assistance programs. DPR will donate $5,000 to the housing non-profit of Gatling’s choice.

Currently SVP of Strategic Growth and Expansion at NAF, Gatling has worked for more than 20 years to expand homeownership opportunities, particularly among people of color and first-time homebuyers. Notably, she has been instrumental in launching NAF’s Black Impact initiative to enhance homeownership accessibility in Black communities, which includes a $20 billion organizational commitment to provide new mortgages to Black homebuyers by 2028. She is also one of the top FHA loan originators in the country. Her work as a mortgage banker, along with her public advocacy at national housing forums, highlight her dedication to making homeownership more equitable.

Skyler Lemons: Emerging Leader Award Recipient

The newly announced Emerging Leader Award recognizes early career individuals who are passionate about helping homebuyers secure safe and affordable housing with the help of homebuyer assistance programs. Skyler Lemons, a real estate agent at EXIT Strategy Realty, is the award’s inaugural recipient. Down Payment Resource will donate $2,500 to the housing non-profit of Lemons’ choice.

Lemons followed in his mother’s footsteps (agent Marki Lemons-Ryhal), in realizing the importance of helping South Side Chicago residents secure affordable housing. As a youth, he volunteered on affordable housing projects. He became a licensed real estate broker after graduating from Howard University College of Business. Just four years into his career, he’s the top agent in units sold at the largest EXIT Strategy Realty franchise. Having negotiated over $150,000 in down payment assistance and closing costs in 2024 alone, he is called the “Down Payment Grant King” by colleagues. In 2025, Lemons is launching the Center for Empowering Moves, an initiative to strengthen affordable housing pathways for Black Americans.

“We receive incredible nominations for this award each year, but this year’s recipients stood out in an undeniable way,” said DPR’s Founder and CEO Rob Chrane. “Mosi has dedicated decades to expanding homeownership opportunities and breaking down barriers for first-time and minority homebuyers. Skyler, in just a few short years, has made a profound impact in his community, leveraging down payment assistance to help families achieve homeownership. Their passion and commitment to housing affordability are inspiring, and we are honored to recognize their work in Beverly’s memory.”

Apparo’s Transformative 2025 Mission Possible Award Program Open for Nonprofit Registration

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 10, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Apparo opens their 2025 Mission Possible Award Program, a nonprofit accelerator sponsored by Accenture that takes nonprofits on ideation journeys to envision how technology can solve nonprofits’ most pressing challenges.

Image caption: Apparo – Amplifying Nonprofit Impact.

Mission Possible was launched to address Charlotte’s economic mobility crisis, identified in research by Harvard economist Raj Chetty, which ranked the city last among major U.S. metro areas for upward mobility and the Triangle Area slightly above, at 48. Apparo created this program to drive systemic change and uplift economic mobility across our communities. Now open for the 2025 season, this program has equipped organizations with the frameworks to expand their impact and improve economic mobility.

Each year, Mission Possible provides participants with strategic guidance from corporate skilled volunteers to create a proposal for a tech-based solution to maximize your organization’s work, with two lucky organizations walking away with a $10,000 grant and up to an additional 50 hours of pro bono consulting.

TRANSFORMATIVE IMPACT OF MISSION POSSIBLE AWARD PROGRAM

Hope Renovations, a North Carolina nonprofit providing hands-on training in construction trades for women and gender-expansive individuals, has transformed its workforce development program by implementing Canvas learning management system (LMS). This game-changing advancement was made possible through Apparo’s Mission Possible Program.

Hope Renovations, the 2023 Mission Possible winner, was seeking a solution to enhance training accessibility, engagement, and scalability. The organization provides a hands-on, construction-based workforce training program to help individuals secure jobs in the skilled trades, an industry facing a massive labor shortage. However, their previous training model relied heavily on in-person instruction, limiting how many participants they could serve and requiring significant administrative work to track progress.

Through Mission Possible, Hope Renovations worked with Apparo and skilled Accenture consultants to implement Canvas LMS, a leading learning management system used in educational and professional training settings.

With this technology-driven solution, the nonprofit has experienced measurable improvements, including:

40 Percent Reduction in Administrative Workload: Staff now spend significantly less time managing materials, tracking participant progress, and organizing lessons- more than 300 hours of staff time annually on cohort communications alone.
Increased Trainee Engagement and Flexibility: With on-demand access to structured digital coursework, participants are more engaged and better prepared for hands-on learning. Trainees can review course materials at their own pace, making it easier to accommodate different learning styles and personal schedules.
Enhanced Scalability: Hope Renovations can now train more participants at once, expanding access to life-changing career opportunities. In 2023, Hope Renovations had 3 cohorts; in 2024 they have 10, and they now have a goal of 20 cohorts for 2025, doubling their service in cohort programs.

“This experience with Apparo has been a huge win for Hope Renovations,” said Sarah Campbell, Vice President of Training of Hope Renovations. “Technology can be something that really hinders nonprofit growth, efficiency, and productivity. For a nonprofit, hindered productivity directly impacts people’s lives so this type of work is incredibly valuable and sets nonprofits up for future success. I appreciate Apparo seeing the nonprofit need, filling the knowledge gap, and being there to support us.”

The shift to a hybrid training model, enabled by Canvas, aligns with Hope Renovations’ broader goal: to increase access to sustainable careers for individuals facing barriers to employment. With this new system in place, the organization can expand its reach beyond North Carolina, providing more individuals with the skills they need to succeed in construction and skilled trades.

Hope Renovations’ success demonstrates the power of technology to transform nonprofit operations and create profound, sustainable impact. Through Mission Possible, Apparo partners with nonprofits with potential for growth and provides them with customized technology solutions, expert guidance, and hands-on corporate volunteer support.

“We know that technology can be the key to breaking down barriers to economic mobility,” said Kim Lanphear, CEO of Apparo. “Mission Possible exists to ensure that nonprofits like Hope Renovations have the digital tools they need to expand their impact and help more people build better futures.”

“Canvas makes our training more professional and efficient. It instills confidence in our trainees, staff, and community partners. Growth is necessary to continue fulfilling our mission, and we couldn’t achieve this growth without a tool like this,” said Sarah Campbell, Hope Renovations Vice President of Training. “I felt so supported by Apparo and Accenture and am so appreciative of everyone who was involved in the Mission Possible process.”

Since its inception in 2017, Mission Possible—led by Apparo and Accenture—has supported nonprofits in streamlining operations, improving efficiencies, and scaling their services, proving that investing in nonprofit technology is an investment in stronger communities.
