Port St. Lucie Business Women unite to raise funds for breast cancer research

Port St. Lucie Business Women unite to raise funds for breast cancer research

 

Port St. Lucie Business Women, family members and friends joined together in support of Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Back row: Elaine Anderson, Ellen Falk, Madelyn Katz, Donna DeMarchi, Jennifer Wiggins and her son Carter, Dorothy Kamm; Front row: Diann McDonough, Mandy Sauter and her daughter, Mindi Fetterman

 

After a three-year hiatus, the Port St. Lucie Business Women joined forces, forming a team of walkers, and proudly sponsoring a water station at the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk held on October 22 in Tradition. “Surviving and Thriving” was the theme that united 15 Port St. Lucie Business Women and their family members and friends, several of whom are survivors themselves.

Clusters of pink and lavender flowers were chosen to depict the theme of surviving and thriving in the Port St. Lucie Business Women’s custom team T-shirt, designed by Business Women member Diane Gallagher of DSG Designs & Photography.

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in American women and the second leading cause of cancer death in women. Due to improvements in treatment and early detection, there has been a 40 percent decline in breast cancer deaths since 1985. Funds raised from Making Strides Against Breast Cancer has funded breakthrough research, provided free rides to cancer patients, wigs free of charge to women, and other support services, access to lifesaving screenings, and so much more. The Port St. Lucie Business Women is proud to support the American Cancer Society’s search for a cure, education and outreach.

The Port St. Lucie Business Women is a 42-year-old, 501 (c) (6) non-profit professional organization dedicated to promoting the interests of businesswomen and serving our community effectively. For more information, visit PSLBW.com.

Lois McGuire joins EFMC board

Lois McGuire joins EFMC board

 

Lois McGuire

Lois McGuire, who has enjoyed an esteemed career in the academic world, has joined the board of the Education Foundation of Martin County (EFMC).

The news was shared by Lisa Rhodes, EFMC Executive Director, who has worked closely with McGuire on several EFMC projects.  “Lois has been a life-long education advocate and longtime supporter of the EFMC.  We are fortunate to now have Lois lend her leadership and expertise as a board member.”

McGuire and her husband moved to Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club from Bayonne, N.J. in 2002. Prior to that she spent decades teaching in New Jersey schools, beginning her career as a fourth and fifth grade teacher, rising to Superintendent of Schools in Kinnelon, the job from which she retired.

She received several awards for excellence in teaching from the State of New Jersey. A highlight of McGuire’s career came when she was asked to join then-New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean at a Governor’s Conference in Cincinnati to discuss at-risk youth.

McGuire earned a Doctorate in Education from Rutgers University and has been a consultant to the U.S. Department of Education and the New Jersey Department of Education.

A born teacher through and through, McGuire created an innovative English as Second Language program when she first moved to Harbour Ridge. Many employees in the community’s landscape, food services and maintenance departments were Spanish-speaking only, making it difficult for them to communicate with residents.

McGuire organized the scores of retired teachers who lived in Harbour Ridge to teach English in a five-day a week program that continued for four-plus years. The attendees earned GEDs, became US citizens and prospered in their jobs. The program was retired when it was no longer needed.

McGuire has also been a member of the Library Foundation of Martin County.

She currently teaches Mah Jongg at Harbour Ridge, where 135 residents take part in a high-energy weekly game. It has become the basis of a successful fundraiser for the Education Foundation of Martin County.  This year’s EFMC Charity Mah Jongg Tournament at Harbour Ridge is scheduled for March 3, 2023.

McGuire is the successful author of several books: Don't Be That KID! at Home, Don’t Be That KID! At School and the Don’t Be That KID! At School Resource Guide to help educators and parents guide their children through the maze of building essential positive character traits.

McGuire says she always wanted to be a teacher. “I love to be engaged in something that helps children. It has been my whole life and it will never stop.  I am honored to be a part of a group of dedicated community members who want to assist teachers to expand the educational possibilities for children in Martin County.”

Volunteers come together for United Way’s 27th annual day of caring

Volunteers come together for United Way’s 27th annual day of caring

 

Sharon Doris, Jesse Silva, Sabrina Silva, Dean Phillips, Sally Bross, Mario Massano

 

Many nonprofit and volunteer organizations throughout Indian River County offered their services to the community on Saturday, Oct. 15 for United Way’s 27th Annual Day of Caring.

As the largest one-day of service event on the Treasure Coast, the nonprofit brings nearly 1,000 volunteers together to participate in community service; sponsored once again by Publix Super Markets.

This year’s event hosted over 950 volunteers who completed 57 projects. Volunteer groups included Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Elliot Merrill, Girls on the Run, Northern Trust, Nuttal, Donini and Associates, CPA’s, Publix, Rehmann, Seacoast Bank, Vero Beach Oceanside Rotary, and the Tax Collector’s office of Indian River County, among many others.

The event kicked off at the Vero Beach High School’s Billy Livings Field, where hundreds of volunteers gathered for breakfast, donated by Joe and MaryAnn Conrado and Jeremy Odom, owners and operators of the local McDonald’s, Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice, and homemade cookies from Thelma Jean’s Bakery. Following the morning announcements, volunteers were energized by routines from the VBHS Cheer Squad and a fun warm-up from TBLB Fitness.

Projects were hosted by the Children’s Home Society of Florida, Crossover Mission, Hope for Families Center, Substance Awareness Center, The Arc of Indian River County, and many others. From painting, weeding, and trimming to organizing and writing greeting cards, volunteers had their hands full. Plus, 250 literacy kits were assembled and donated to Head Start of Indian River County.

Many of the volunteers said it was an incredible day to meet with nonprofits working to make Indian River County a healthier and stronger community. “There are so many of our neighbors struggling right now in their day-to-day lives, so every little bit of support helps,” said Meredith Egan, United Way of Indian River County CEO. “Any chance we have to give back is an opportunity to contribute to something good and feel good about doing it.”

Additionally, United Way would like to thank Gould Cooksey for donating water and CVS Distribution Center for donating many of the supplies used for the early learning kits.

United Way’s hub for opportunities, Volunteer Indian River County, is currently undergoing a facelift, but will soon offer year-round opportunities for those looking to get involved.

Youth Guidance Mentoring Academy held it’s 45th Annual Tropical Night Luau on Friday, Oct. 7th at the Boulevard Village and Tennis Club. More than 150 guests gathered to learn about the organization and the programs offered to families of Indian River County.  

Children enrolled in Youth Guidance greeted guests with a warm welcome and adorned them with tropical Hawaiian leis upon arrival. Guests visited program tables where the children demonstrated the different activities they participate in while at Youth Guidance, including sewing, bicycle repair, leadership, and a pre-apprenticeship (HVAC, welding, plumbing, carpentry, and electric).  

The evening featured an exciting performance featuring a Siva Afi fire knife spinning finale by Hiti Mahana Polynesia followed by a thrilling live auction where lucky bidders won prizes ranging from a catered dinner for ten at one’s residence to a vacation at luxury resorts throughout Mexico. Dinner included an exquisite tropical buffet with popular Hawaiian dishes while guests enjoyed the remainder of the evening dancing with friends, old and new. 

The purpose of the event was to raise funds for life-changing mentoring programs while sharing the impact of Youth Guidance on the lives of local children and families. Speakers included Dhalani, age 7, and her mother Darmeshia Brunson who spoke about their experience. 

“If it hadn’t been for Youth Guidance, I can tell you that a lot of the things my daughter has been able to participate in, she may have never been able to do so. I’m so proud of the different programs she can be a part of at the center, from homework help and tutoring to the many other programs they offer. I cannot say all that Youth Guidance has done for me and my family.” said Darmeshia

 Halloween casino night is a grand slam for Elev8Hope

 Halloween casino night is a grand slam for Elev8Hope

 

 

Daniel and Paula Bongino with Rinamarie Shpiruk

An amazing relationship was in the cards when Eva Rivera-Allmacher and Rinamarie Shpiruk met several years ago.

Eva and her husband Jerry Allmacher are the owners of Bin Deals, and they were the “real” deal at the Boos and Booze Casino Night that benefited Elev8Hope and Ms. Rina’s House of Blessings, the 501(c)(3)s founded by Rinamarie Shpiruk and her four children.

Thanks to the couple’s love and dedication – and a stunning $50,000 donation – the festive fundraiser raised close to $200,000.

Although they were Grand Sponsors of the evening, Eva Rivera-Allmacher and Jerry Allmacher have been there for the nonprofits for years. They have donated $75,000-plus to Ms. Rina’s House of Blessings, helping to get the doors to the building opened.

More than 300 attendees partied at the Rockin’ H Ranch in Palm City, playing Vegas-style casino games and enjoying fabulous food from the one and only Michaelina’s.

The mission of Elev8Hope is to provide support and hope to struggling families with children. Elev8Hope works to positively impact the community of Martin County by connecting with individuals and families struggling to meet the most basic requirements of daily living.

Ms. Rina’s House of Blessings provides transitional housing for students and their families in crisis in Martin County.

Bank of America finds 66% of small business owners expect revenue increases; 52% plan to expand their businesses

Bank of America finds 66% of small business owners expect revenue increases; 52% plan to expand their businesses

New report spotlights women and minority business owners, including challenges and overall business and economic outlook

 

 

Despite headwinds from supply chains, inflation and labor shortages, small business owners are forecasting a strong year ahead, according to the 2022 Women & Minority Business Owner Spotlight, a new report from Bank of America exploring the outlook of entrepreneurs nationwide. The report is based on a survey of more than 1,300 small business owners across the country, with additional insights into gender and ethnicity, and found that revenue expectations rose to a seven-year high, and expansion plans increased significantly since the spring. Over the next 12 months:

  • 66% of business owners expect revenue to increase—a seven-year high
  • 52% plan to expand their business—up from 37% this spring
  • 83% plan to obtain funding for their business—up from 70% this spring

As the possibility of a recession looms, 77% of entrepreneurs say their business is equipped to survive a recession.

“As we look ahead to 2023, small business owners are optimistic about the future, even with ongoing economic challenges and uncertainty,” said Sharon Miller, President, Small Business, Head of Specialty Banking and Lending at Bank of America. “The data underscores what we’ve seen time and time again: the continued resilience of small business owners whose success remains foundational to our local and national economies.”

Inflation and commodities prices are top concerns

When asked about their primary concerns, small business owners identified inflation (75%) and commodities prices (69%), followed by a potential recession (67%), the U.S. political environment (66%) and interest rates (65%). A strong majority (88%) say inflation and supply chain issues (80%) are continuing to impact their operations, leading to price increases.

Hiring plans are up significantly with wages on the rise to attract talent

Amid labor shortages, business owners reported that their hiring plans are reaching the highest levels in seven years, with 38% planning to hire in the next 12 months. The majority (61%) of business owners say labor shortages are currently impacting their business, up from 41% in the spring. Among those business owners impacted:

  • 49% are working more hours
  • 31% are raising wages to attract competitive talent
  • 30% are having difficulty filling job openings

The report also includes specific insights on the perspectives of women, Black, Hispanic-Latino and Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) business owners, examining key areas including access to capital, business outlook, social change and community.

Women, minority entrepreneurs face barriers accessing capital

More than a quarter (29%) of women business owners surveyed said they do not think they will ever have equal access to capital, while 40% of Black business owners, 27% of Hispanic-Latino business owners and 22% of AAPI business owners said the same.

Minority business owners reported more challenges accessing capital for their businesses than the national average, with 46% of Black and Hispanic-Latino business owners and 55% of AAPI business owners reporting they’ve personally faced challenges. Black business owners were most likely to say they are concerned about credit availability—57% of Black business owners surveyed expressed concern vs. 45% overall.

Women business owners project growth but are less optimistic than men

Women business owners have an overall positive business outlook, while confidence in their business and the broader economic landscape is more tempered than their male peers. Over the next 12 months:

  • 63% expect revenue to increase vs. 68% of male business owners
  • 47% plan to expand their business vs. 57% of male business owners
  • 38% are confident that the national economy will improve vs. 50% of male business owners

Overall, women business owners say they face more challenges in business than their male counterparts, with the majority (59%) saying they have to work harder for the same success as men.

Black business owners advocate for social change through their businesses

Fifty-five percent of Black business owners say racial justice and equity are important causes for their business, compared to 30% of non-Black business owners. Eighty-seven percent of Black business owners say they are committed to driving social change through their business, and two in five have active pledges or commitments toward social causes through their business, including volunteering, making operational changes and monetary commitments. As a result of these efforts:

  • 61% say they have increased sales
  • 40% say they deepened ties to their community
  • 34% say they have increased their customer base

In addition, Black business owners are more optimistic than their non-Black counterparts about their business outlook. Over the next 12 months:

  • 72% expect revenue to increase vs. 63% of non-Black business owners
  • 65% plan to expand their business vs. 50% of non-Black business owners

Hispanic-Latino business owners prioritize building generational wealth

Keeping the future of their families in mind, a strong majority (86%) of Hispanic-Latino business owners are committed to building generational wealth through their business—compared to 77% of non-Hispanic-Latino business owners. Community involvement is a priority, too: 88% of Hispanic-Latino business owners say they actively give back to their communities, taking actions such as donating products/services, volunteering and sponsoring local events and teams.

Additionally, Hispanic-Latino business owners are more optimistic than their non-Hispanic-Latino peers about their business outlook. Over the next 12 months:

  • 71% expect revenue to increase vs. 65% of non-Hispanic-Latino business owners
  • 59% plan to expand their business vs. 52% of non-Hispanic-Latino business owners

AAPI business owners rely on family to drive business

AAPI business owners report strong support systems, as 80% say their family supports their business. Providing for the next generation is also top of mind, with 82% of AAPI business owners aiming to build generational wealth through their business. Additionally, more than one in three (37%) AAPI business owners said they received guidance on starting their business from family members.

When asked about their business outlook for the coming 12 months, 62% of AAPI business owners said they expect their revenues to increase, while 60% said they plan to expand their business (vs. 52% of non-AAPI business owners).

 

For an in-depth look at the insights of the nation’s small business owners, please read the full Bank of America 2022 Women & Minority Business Owner Spotlight.

Bank of America 2022 Women & Minority Business Owner Spotlight

Ipsos Public Affairs conducted the Bank of America 2022 Women & Minority Business Owner Spotlight survey online between July 26 and August 17, 2022 using a pre-recruited online sample of small business owners. Ipsos contacted a national sample of 1,308 small business owners in the United States with annual revenue between $100,000 and $4,999,999 and employing between two and 99 employees, as well as 357 interviews of Hispanic small business owners, 369 interviews of Black small business owners and 150 interviews of Asian American small business owners.
