NEW YORK, NY – July 13, 2026 – (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) – On Friday, July 17, 2026, days before the world’s top two soccer teams battle for the FIFA World Cup 2026™, a different kind of high-stakes championship is taking place just minutes away. Four American small businesses will gather at the Antique Loft in Hoboken, NJ to go head-to-head in Verizon’s Small Business Super Pitch competition, an event which highlights the incredible grit, impact, and vital role everyday entrepreneurs play in communities nationwide.

The Verizon Small Business Super Pitch is a nationwide pitch competition designed to discover some of America’s most promising small businesses. After being selected from a submission pool of more than 500 competitors and winning one of four regional rounds across the country, the finalists will now take the stage to deliver a compelling pitch on their business.

The four finalists in the Verizon Small Business Super Pitch are:

• The Balm Box (Overland Park, KS) – Founded by six-time cancer survivor Liz Benditt, The Balm Box ships research-backed care packages specifically designed for cancer patients navigating surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.
• House of Perna (Delray Beach, FL) – A fashion house, founded by fashion designer, Amanda Perna, dedicated to designing small-batch clothing with bold prints and sustainable practices that allows women to feel completely themselves.
• TWB Tours (Seattle, WA) – A Pacific Northwest tour company, founded by Marlie and Anthony Love, that offers guests an inside look at local culture, history, and community-centered small businesses.
• Renewed Focus (New York, NY) – Led by Melissa Robinson-Brown, Renewed Focus is a therapy practice with a focus on providing care to women and allowing them to unleash their authentic selves and navigate life’s roller coaster.

“Big cultural events like the FIFA World Cup 2026™ offer unparalleled opportunities for small businesses to gain widespread visibility and thrive. Verizon is proud to support these essential community anchors through Verizon Small Business Digital Ready, which provides free resources—including online courses, coaching, funding, and networking—to help entrepreneurs succeed. We are deeply honored to play a role in the journeys of the dynamic businesses that have made it to the Super Pitch finals,” said Donna Epps, Chief Responsible Business Officer for Verizon.

In the initial phase of the competition, business owners posted videos to social media highlighting how they had used the resources on Verizon Small Business Digital Ready to learn how to more effectively pitch their business. Of those, 20 were selected to compete in the semifinal events in FIFA World Cup 2026™ host cities. Now, the final four will deliver a pitch to a panel of expert judges, including two-time FIFA Women’s World Cup™ champion Carli Lloyd, for a chance to win cash prizes. All four finalists will receive two tickets to the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Final.

“Succeeding as a small business is like soccer. It takes daily hard work and the right coaching. I’m proud to see a company like Verizon champion small businesses by providing year-round access to its Digital Ready platform,” said Lloyd. “Whether it is a youth soccer clinic, or the local coffee shop, it’s the small businesses that keep our communities running. And through this experience with Verizon, it’s been a joy to meet some of these amazing entrepreneurs.”

In addition to the cash prizes and tickets, all finalists will receive expert mentorship in using artificial intelligence in their business as Verizon works to position small businesses to succeed in today’s rapidly evolving digital world.

Creating a homefield advantage

Verizon’s investment in small business community development extends beyond the competition and prizes. Verizon Small Business Digital Ready is a free resource available to all small businesses in the U.S. regardless of whether they are Verizon customers. The program has already helped over 600,000 business owners since its launch in 2020, with a goal to support 1 million small businesses by 2030.

All participants in the Super Pitch have received expert guidance on how to pitch their businesses from Precious Williams, Founder and CEO of the Perfect Pitch Group, successful “Shark Tank” participant, and Verizon Small Business Digital Ready instructor.

ORLANDO, FL — July 9, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) —The Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico (PUPR) celebrated yesterday the commencement ceremony of its Orlando Campus, where a select group of new professionals completed their academic training in engineering, business administration and technology. The graduation reaffirms the Orlando Campus as a space where academia connects with industry and knowledge is transformed into real opportunities. The ceremony was held at the Orlando Campus facilities, located at 550 N. Econlockhatchee Trail, and marked one of the central moments in the commemoration of the institution’s 60th Anniversary, founded in Puerto Rico in 1966 and present in Central Florida since 2003.

The graduating class represents the best evidence of a deliberate growth strategy: to prepare innovative, competitive engineers and business professionals ready to lead in an environment driven by technology, artificial intelligence and digital transformation. These graduates strengthen the competitiveness of companies and contribute to the economic development of Florida and Puerto Rico.

The Orlando Campus responds directly to Goal #4 of the University’s 2022-2027 Strategic Plan: expansion, positioning and strategic alliances. In meetings held with the Puerto Rico Department of Economic Development and Commerce (DDEC) and the chambers of commerce of Puerto Rico and Florida, the Polytechnic University identified clear market priorities: specialized continuing education, STEM talent development, advanced entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, the aerospace industry, construction management and talent recruitment. Its academic offering and alliances connect students, from day one, with the opportunities that move the business and industrial world.

Alliances that open the way

In recent months, the Orlando Campus formalized five strategic memoranda of understanding (MOUs) that anchor its growth in Central Florida: the Hispanic Metro Florida Chamber of Commerce, the Puerto Rico College of Engineers and Land Surveyors (Florida Chapter), the Office of Senator Rick Scott, the Central Florida Contractors Association, and SVG Institute. These alliances open the way to continuing education, internships, employment opportunities in collaboration with BMA Group, and the joint development of solutions for industry and government. They represent a network of opportunities that drives students’ professional development from day one and replicates in Florida the University-Industry-Government linkage model that has distinguished the Polytechnic University since its founding.

Aerospace innovation: Orlando’s new differentiator

The graduation comes just one year after the inauguration of the Aerospace Engineering Laboratory at the Orlando Campus, a state-of-the-art space with a $2.9 million investment that includes a jet engine for testing, an autonomous vehicle research laboratory, and supersonic and subsonic wind tunnels. The laboratory also features advanced flight simulators, 3D printers for aerospace prototypes, aeronautical modeling and simulation software, and facilities for materials and aerodynamics testing, positioning Orlando as a key node for Florida’s aerospace industry, identified by the Polytechnic University as one of the market’s strategic priorities.

At the laboratory’s inauguration in April 2025, Dr. Adriano Parisi, then Director of the Florida Campuses of the Polytechnic University, stated: “This state-of-the-art laboratory is a center of discovery, a platform for developing ideas and a compelling testament to our commitment to education, research and progress. It demonstrates that when vision meets determination, great things happen.”

Results that support the value proposition

Academic excellence with a flexible and innovative model

Engineering continues to be a key differentiator for the Orlando Campus, a lower-volume but high-value program that the institution continues to strengthen in order to attract a specific student profile. In parallel, the Polytechnic University has expanded its Business Administration offering, including the Bachelor of Science in Organizational Management (BSOM), available to students from any academic background, under the concept “Engineering + Entrepreneurship = Venture Creation” that distinguishes the institution in the Central Florida market. This offering responds to a flexible and innovative educational model designed for today’s professional student: it combines academic rigor, applied technology, practical learning and training aligned with the competencies demanded by the fastest-growing industries in Central Florida.

The Orlando Campus also leverages two central competitive advantages: its bilingual profile, with a faculty and administrative team mostly of Hispanic origin capable of assisting students in Spanish when they need it, and its academic flexibility, with a trimester calendar, in-person, hybrid and 100% online modalities, and continuous progression from bachelor’s degree to master’s degree. This flexibility allows active professionals to continue developing without disconnecting from the labor market. All of this is supported by the more than 50 years of accreditations and recognitions the institution has accumulated from its main campus in San Juan, including its 4-star rating in the international QS Stars system and its designation as a National Center of Excellence in Cyber Defense Education, granted by the NSA and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Toward the next 60 years

This graduation is part of the commemoration of the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico’s 60 years and its transition toward what the institution calls the University of the New Century: a scalable educational platform in Puerto Rico and Florida, where academia connects with industry, knowledge is transformed into opportunities and the leaders who will move the economy of the future are prepared. With each new alliance, each state-of-the-art laboratory and each graduating class, the Orlando Campus advances in its objective of becoming a recognized STEM benchmark in Central Florida and throughout the United States.

About the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico
Founded in 1966, the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico is a leading institution in specialized programs in engineering, architecture and business administration, committed to academic excellence and the comprehensive development of professionals prepared for a globalized world. In 2026, the University commemorates its 60-year trajectory under the theme Imagine, Build and Lead. It has campuses in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Orlando, Florida – the latter its expansion platform into the U.S. market since 2003 – and offers a curriculum in in-person, hybrid and virtual modalities, supported by strategic alliances, applied technology and an offering aligned with industry needs. The institution was awarded a 4-star rating in the international QS Stars system, a recognition that highlights its commitment to academic quality, the employability of its graduates and its global impact, and positions it as the first and only institution in Puerto Rico to receive this distinction. The Polytechnic University is also the first and only private university in Puerto Rico designated by the National Security Agency (NSA) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a National Center of Excellence in Cyber Defense Education.

MIAMI, FL — July 8, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — In today’s volatile economic landscape, the absence of a structured estate plan has evolved into a silent financial crisis for families across the United States. Contrary to the misconception that wills and trusts are reserved solely for the wealthy, securing hard-earned assets—whether a family home, a savings account, or a multi-generational business—is a vital shield every family requires. To address this urgent need, premium business media outlet Hispanic Target has partnered with prominent legal authority Elena Ortega Tauler, Esq., to present an exclusive educational webinar titled “Wills, Trusts & Probate: What Everyone Should Know” this Thursday, July 9th at 6:00 PM (EST).

The seminar is structured to provide high-level clarity and practical solutions regarding asset safety. Without proper intervention, families frequently find themselves trapped in probate court—a lengthy, public, and expensive process that can drain an estate’s value and delay the distribution of critical support to grieving relatives for months or even years.

Key insights to be covered during the live webinar:

• Wills vs. trusts: Demystifying the fundamental differences and understanding why a will alone may not prevent court interference.
• The realities of probate: When and why the state steps into your private affairs, and how proactive planning can legally bypass it.
• essential protective documents: The foundational legal tools every adult should establish to safeguard health and assets in times of crisis.
• Costly mistakes to avoid: Common missteps in estate setup that lead to unnecessary legal fees, family disputes, and significant delays.
• Reviewing outdated plans: Essential criteria for evaluating and updating existing estate structures to comply with recent legal updates.

“Securing your future is not merely about financial accumulation; it is about establishing a robust perimeter around your loved ones. Leaving your legacy to chance can dismantle years of hard work in a single legal proceeding,” noted the editorial leadership of Hispanic Target, urging business owners, professionals, and the wider community to secure their registration immediately.

MIAMI, FL — July 6, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — PowerHouse Automotive Group announced on July 2 the acquisition of Griffin Chevrolet of Sylvester, marking its fifth dealership, its first Chevrolet franchise, and the creation of a new multi-brand “Sylvester campus” in Southwest Georgia. The transaction closed on July 1, 2026.

Located at 1006 W. Franklin St. in Sylvester, Griffin Chevrolet sits right next to PowerHouse’s Ford Sylvester dealership at 1002 W. Franklin St. Placing the two dealerships literally side-by-side creates PowerHouse’s first true automotive campus, offering customers in the Sylvester area access to Ford and Chevrolet vehicle lineups, sales, and services at a single location.

“July 1 marks a major milestone for PowerHouse,” said CEO Fernando Arellano Geddes. “Adding Chevrolet to our lineup and building our first campus right here in Sylvester is exactly the kind of growth we set out to achieve when we founded this company seven months ago: expanding choices for our customers while deepening our roots in the communities we already call home.”

Arellano Geddes brings over two decades of automotive retail leadership to the venture, having led organizations comprising up to 22 operations, including extensive experience successfully managing General Motors dealerships. That track record is part of what makes the Chevrolet acquisition personally significant for him. “Having achieved excellent results managing GM dealerships, there is something truly special about bringing Chevrolet back into the family here in Sylvester,” Arellano Geddes stated. 

“This is not unfamiliar territory for us; it is a manufacturer we know well and with whom we have had great success, and we are excited to bring that experience to this community.” The acquisition expands PowerHouse’s presence in Sylvester, where the company has operated the Ford Sylvester dealership since acquiring the Sunbelt Ford group in December 2025. With this agreement, PowerHouse now operates five dealerships in Southwest Georgia—Ford Albany, Ford Americus, Ford Cordele, Ford Sylvester, and the newly acquired Chevrolet Sylvester—and adds its first non-Ford brand to its portfolio.

PowerHouse plans to retain the Griffin Chevrolet team and integrate the location into its existing operational and community programs, including its workforce development initiatives and support for the region’s military families. The automotive complex model in Sylvester is expected to serve as a blueprint for future multi-brand growth as PowerHouse continues to expand.

“Bringing Chevrolet into the family isn’t just about adding a fifth dealership; it’s about offering our neighbors in Sylvester more of what they’ve been asking for, without having to leave town to get it,” added Arellano Geddes.

About PowerHouse Automotive Group
PowerHouse Automotive Group is an automotive retail organization founded on a simple premise: people come first. Guided by a mission to connect lives through innovative mobility solutions, the group is dedicated to delivering exceptional experiences built on trust, care, and a genuine commitment to the communities it calls home. PowerHouse currently operates five dealerships in Georgia—Ford Albany, Ford Americus, Ford Cordele, Ford Sylvester, and Chevrolet Sylvester—and is driven by a culture of continuous improvement, cutting-edge technology, and a passion for positively transforming people’s lives every day.
