The TikTok viral diaper brand adored by moms adds 800 additional Walmart stores in the USA thanks to hugely successful launch in 2020

Rascal + Friends

Globally adored diaper brand Rascal + Friends has been added to another 800 Walmart stores across the United States, thanks to last year’s hugely successful launch in Walmart stores throughout Texas. Rascal + Friends’ expanded Walmart reach across the US now includes distribution in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, North Carolina, Nebraska, Ohio and Oklahoma, as well as Walmart.com. Celebrated by parents and their little ones around the world, Rascal + Friends have set a new standard in baby essentials. Earlier this year parents took to TikTok to show the impressive absorbency of the diapers, pouring cup after cup of water in them with no leaks. The videos went viral as more and more families switched to Rascal + Friends. What sets Rascal + Friends diapers apart? Well, pretty much everything. Parenting outlets like Motherly, Red Tricycle and The Everymom have praised the brand on everything from their affordable prices and clean ingredients, to their ability to keep even the biggest messes contained. They offer seriously good performance, with innovative features like a 3D core for an increased absorbency area, custom-designed grip tabs, a unique deep pocket design, high back waistband, breathable back sheet and double leak guard. Rascal + Friends was born when a New Zealand mother of four identified the need for a premium diaper that checked all the boxes: premium yet affordable, exceptional performance and gentle on the most delicate skin. After testing hundreds of designs and unique features they set about creating an affordable diaper that didn’t compromise on quality and performance. With no nasties and boasting premium features, R+F diapers are designed to help prevent sneaky leaks and blowouts, while looking great too!. Keeping Rascal + Friends affordable was also key. “Diapers are a high turnover product that babies wear pretty much 24/7, so as well as ensuring little ones are comfortable and dry and parents are confident, we wanted to keep our diapers affordable,” says Matt Banfield, COO. “We’ve partnered with Walmart to distribute Rascal + Friends to help keep our prices affordable and our products accessible,” says Banfield. “Starting from just 17 cents per diaper, it’s our goal to provide seriously good diapers to as many people as possible, without breaking the bank.” Born in clean, green New Zealand, being both free of harmful chemicals and as environmentally conscious as possible are also of major importance for Rascal + Friends. Their products are certified by OEKO-TEX’s stringent Standard 100 materials certification, confirming the materials used are 100% free from harmful substances. Their products are also certified cruelty free and vegan by PETA! The brand is constantly evolving and fully dedicated to continually developing even better products that are also better for the planet. Finally, Rascal + Friends is all about community. Passionate about sharing its affordable-yet-premium baby products with families across the globe, the Rascal + Friends team take genuine joy in seeing happy little Rascals wearing their diapers and hearing success stories from happy parents via their social media channels. That’s where the ‘Friends’ part comes in! Last year Rascal + Friends donated more than 130,000 diapers between Hope Supply Co. in Dallas and the Houston Diaper Bank to help families during COVID. “This has been an incredibly tough time for families in need, so it was a priority for us to support our friends in Texas, who have welcomed us so warmly,” says Rascal + Friends CEO, Nick Mowbray. The donation came about from a conversation between Mowbray and award-winning actors Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. “Blake and Ryan contacted us about donations to charities and hospitals across the United States, so our Texas team suggested these diaper banks in Dallas and Houston that do incredible work in their communities,” says Mowbray. The final piece (for now!) in the Rascal + Friends puzzle are its Sensitive Wipes, made from natural and soothing ingredients such as moisturizing aloe, soothing chamomile and anti-inflammatory pomegranate extract. The perfect finishing touch for the happiest baby bums in town. Rascal + Friends premium diapers and sensitive wipes are available exclusively at Walmart. Premium diapers are available in sizes 1-6 across Bulk, Jumbo and Super Jumbo RRP $7.97, $19.97 and $39.97. Sensitive Wipes are available in a Single pack (72 wipes), Multi-pack (216 wipes), Carton (648 wipes) and Jumbo Box (1296 Wipes), for $2.97, $5.97, $15.97, and $29.97.

ZIPPZ

ZIPPZ, the first-of-its-kind personalized natural CBD wellness company, has announced the addition of two renowned cannabis medical advisors to the brand: Dr. June Chin and Dr. Jessica Knox, both cannabinoid and preventive medicine physicians. As cannabis becomes more widely consumed with 22.2 million users each month, the U.S. legal market is anticipated to hit $43 billion by 2025. Cue in the rapidly growing market of cannabis-based products with minimal physician involvement, and you have a nation of consumers seeking quality medicinal remedies.

ZIPPZ then personalizes formula recommendations for each individual, offering a “trial sampling” program, in which users finalize the perfect ZIPPZ formula to meet their needs. Dr. Knox stated, “I am particularly drawn to the ZIPPZ personalized consumer assessment, as health needs should be treated for individual requirements. I look forward to applying my experience in refining the cannabinoid system and medical applications to advise ZIPPZ on their vision that each customer receives a unique remedy for their health and wellness needs.” By integrating network pharmacology principles, ZIPPZ has maximized the effectiveness of 35 proven botanicals, including CBD, to formulate products to meet each consumer’s unique needs.

LivLyme Foundation Founder Olivia Goodreau to Discuss Perils of Lyme Disease in Free Webinar Hosted by Industry-Leading Quidel Corporation

Quidel Corporation

Olivia Goodreau, who founded the LivLyme Foundation at 12 years old and has since become a widely respected advocate and national spokeswoman for Lyme disease prevention and treatment, will discuss her “journey with Lyme” and the importance of early testing as part of a webinar to be held Thursday, Aug. 19. The webinar is the latest in an ongoing series sponsored by Quidel, the California-based diagnostic health care manufacturer known for successfully developing rapid diagnostic health solutions. ______________________________________________________________________ Webinar Registration The free online educational program will take place Aug. 19 at noon EDT. Registration is available now at https://education.quidel.com/registration/2580/1/r/LD-1. You may attend the webinar by accessing the same link on or after Aug. 19 at noon EDT. ______________________________________________________________________ Now 16 years old, Goodreau founded the LivLyme Foundation in 2017 to help raise money for individuals who cannot afford their Lyme medication or doctors’ visits and to fund research to find a cure for Lyme and tick-borne diseases. She has since awarded 54 grants to children and adults ages 2-21 along with four grants to top universities to fund tick-borne disease research. Goodreau is also the inventor of TickTracker, the free global app that has over 50,000 users in multiple languages worldwide. TickTracker was selected by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as the “top tech tool” that is solving global health problems, beating out Oracle and IBM, among others. As part of the webinar, Goodreau will discuss her journey with Lyme, including when she became ill, the number of physicians she visited, how she was diagnosed and her passion for the importance of early testing. She will also discuss her work on the “public stage,” having presented TickTracker at the White House and having met with countless members of Congress, celebrities, scientists and governmental agencies to educate and spread awareness about tick-borne diseases. Goodreau’s webinar presentation is particularly relevant today as Lyme disease is on the rise to record numbers throughout the country and has the potential to affect as many as 476,000 citizens before the year is out. For accurate and fast testing, more and more clinicians are turning to the Sofia® 2 Lyme FIA by Quidel. This revolutionary test provides the patient and physician with indicative results within 15 minutes, as opposed to days, which has historically been the norm (and during which time organisms can spread and become systemic). It can be performed in the privacy of a doctor’s office, local clinic or even by a nurse at a children’s summer camp; and it is the only test that can get results from a simple finger prick of blood. Among those expected to attend the free Aug. 19 webinar are physicians; allied health professionals; health researchers; and representatives of physician offices, laboratories, urgent care centers, patient advocacy associations and others interested in the subject. About Quidel Corporation Quidel Corporation (Nasdaq: QDEL) is a leading manufacturer of diagnostic solutions at the point of care, delivering a continuum of rapid testing technologies that further improve the quality of health care throughout the globe. An innovator for over 40 years in the medical device industry, Quidel pioneered the first FDA-cleared point-of-care test for influenza in 1999 and was the first to market a rapid SARS-CoV-2 antigen test in the U.S. Under trusted brand names, Sofia®, Solana®, Lyra®, Triage® and QuickVue®, Quidel’s comprehensive product portfolio includes tests for a wide range of infectious diseases, cardiac and autoimmune biomarkers, as well as a host of products to detect COVID-19. With products made in America, Quidel’s mission is to provide patients with immediate and frequent access to highly accurate, affordable testing for the good of our families, our communities and the world.

Comcast's Internet Essentials Program, Tacoma Mayor, and Local Gaming Personality Marcel Cunningham Partner to Address Digital Divide for Students at Al Davies Boys & Girls Club

Comcast Washington

Comcast today announced grants and technology donations to the Al Davies Club in Tacoma as part of its ongoing commitment to help connect more low-income students and families to the Internet. The announcement was made at an event with former Al Davies Club Member and international gaming influencer Marcel Cunningham, who goes by the name of BasicallyIDoWrk, and the Mayor of Tacoma, Victoria Woodards. In collaboration with Cunningham, Comcast contributed $10,000 and 40 laptop computers to the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound. Sixty students also received free laptop computers to keep along with 12 months of home Internet service for eligible families through Comcast’s Internet Essentials program. The funds and computer equipment will help the club better serve its members and provide additional resources to families in need. Thirty kids attending summer camp at the Al Davies Boys & Girls Club also had the opportunity to play with Cunningham in a fun, interactive video game competition at the event. Afterwards, Cunningham, Mayor Woodards, and Comcast surprised the students by handing out the free laptops and a gift card good for a year of Internet Essentials Internet service. "It is extraordinary to be able to come back and bring resources to the Club I spent so much time at as a kid. Boys & Girls Clubs are special places that help so many kids and families, and I wouldn't be who I am today without the experiences I had at the Al Davies Club,” said Cunningham. “I appreciate the opportunity to partner with Comcast and Mayor Woodards to bring these resources to the Boys & Girls Club, the students, and their families.” “When private companies and organizations like ours can come together it can truly create something special for our community. These funds, access to internet and technology donations will have a tremendous impact on our local Clubs,the members we serve, and their families” said Carrie Holden, President/CEO, Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound. “We are grateful to Comcast for its contributions and to our alum Marcel for continuing to stay engaged with the Club and our kids.” “The COVID-19 pandemic has shed light on many of the inequities in our society, including the digital divide. In Tacoma and across the South Puget Sound, we are fortunate to have organizations like our local Boys & Girls Clubs which serve as central meeting places and can help address the issues of access and equity if they have the resources,” said Tacoma’s Mayor Victoria Woodards. “This is why it is exciting to see Comcast and Marcel collaborating with our local Clubs to support youth and their families and fill an important community need by providing crucial technology resources across our region.” As a former member of the Al Davies Boys & Girls Club, Cunningham previously received the Key to the City of Tacoma Award for his work in the local community and support of his childhood club. Cunningham continues to support the club via his foundation TeamWrk, which focuses on challenging youth to reach their full potential by teaching healthy gaming habits, character and team-building skills, and bullying prevention. Cunningham recently became a member of “Team Xfinity”, a collection of streamers, content creators, and gamers who rely on Xfinity Internet to power all their gaming and streaming needs, connecting them with audiences across the world. "We're thrilled to partner with Marcel to help give Boys & Girls Club students and families the resources to access the Internet to participate in online learning," said Carla Carrell, Senior Director of External Affairs, Comcast Washington. "The pandemic put many vulnerable students and families at risk of being left behind, accelerating the need for comprehensive digital equity and Internet adoption programs to support them." Today’s announcement comes on the heels of Comcast’s recent $1 billion commitment over the next 10 years to help further close the digital divide and give even more low-income students and families the tools and resources they need to succeed in a digital world. About Internet Essentials Internet Essentials is Comcast’s signature digital equity initiative and the nation’s largest and most comprehensive broadband adoption program. In 10 years, it has helped connect 10 million low-income Americans to broadband Internet at home, most for the very first time. Internet Essentials has a comprehensive design that addresses each of the three major barriers to broadband adoption. This includes: multiple options to access free digital literacy training in print, online, and in person; the option to purchase a heavily subsidized, low-cost Internet-ready computer; and low-cost, high-speed Internet service for $9.95 a month, plus tax. The program is structured as a partnership between Comcast and tens of thousands of school districts, libraries, elected officials, and nonprofit community partners. Comcast has never raised the price of the program.
