The Jusino Agency Continues Its Community Program in Chicago, This Time Introducing a Charity Campaign Offering Relief to a Young Child Diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) March 18, 2015
With a new charity campaign in Chicago, The Jusino Agency looks to offer financial relief to a 2-year-old girl battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and her family. While also raising awareness about the disease, The Jusino Agency seeks to raise funds to help alleviate some of the medical cost that isn’t covered by the family’s insurance plan. Donation can now be made through the campaign’s page at http://www.gofundme.com/n64vh0
Through its vast network of loyal customers, staff, business partners, friends and family, The Jusino Agency will divulge Janiyaliz circumstances, giving others the opportunity to contribute, and become active agents of change. The initiative is another display of the agency’s commitment to striving to keep those around them always in good hands.
“The challenges this family is currently facing breaks my heart. I cannot imagine what it’s like for a mom to watch her child endure such pain at young age. We wish to help the family reach their goal, but hope our efforts can surpass it to lift their spirits,” said Lisa Jusino, the Agency’s principal.
The agency will promote the current campaign over the course of the next 60 days, through its social media channels, email communications, and monthly electronic and print magazines, delivered to thousands of households in Chicago, IL. Our Hometown magazine reserves a full page to feature the campaign and details of the cause.

The Stephen Frederick Agency in Austin, TX announced the debut of its charity program designed to benefit the local community.

“So many animals end up abandoned or neglected in our community… We want to mobilize our neighbors, friends and family to help keep them in good health so they can have another chance to bring joy, love and happiness to new families,” said Frederick.
Each new cause showcased by the agency will accompany a detailed full story about the elected cause on a designated donations page.

Tiny’s Grill of Utica, NY Takes Advantage of $ 3,955 in Utility Rebates with the National Grid Small Business Services Program
Utica, NY (PRWEB) August 15, 2014
Tiny’s Grill is saving $ 159 a month on its utility bill, while reducing its energy usage and environmental impact. By implementing energy-efficient interior and exterior lighting upgrades throughout the bar, dining room, kitchen, storage and outdoor areas of its Utica, NY location, Tiny’s Grill has reduced energy consumption by 17,194 kWh, which is equivalent to removing an estimated 18,913 pounds of carbon dioxide from the environment per year, according to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency calculations. The lighting upgrades were completed by SmartWatt Energy via the National Grid Small Business Services Program.
When the owner of Tiny’s Grill, Joanne Gerace, contacted National Grid to inquire about their Small Business Services Program, SmartWatt came in to perform a complimentary energy audit of all interior and exterior lighting. SmartWatt then proposed a plan to replace the existing lighting systems with energy-efficient fluorescent and LED lighting fixtures throughout the restaurant. These lighting upgrades have not only substantially reduced the restaurant’s energy costs, but have also resulted in a rebate of $ 3,955, which according to National Grid, are expected to pay for themselves in only 16 months.
SmartWatt is the administrator and implementation contractor for National Grid’s Small Business Services Program in Central, Northern, and the Mohawk Valley regions of upstate New York. The National Grid Small Business Services Program helps businesses with an average peak demand of 100 kW or less per month to conduct energy-efficient upgrade measures. Through this program, SmartWatt will provide a complimentary energy audit and National Grid will pay up to 70 percent of the installation costs completed by SmartWatt and finance the remaining amount interest-free for up to two years.
For more information on the National Grid Small Business Services Program or to schedule a free complimentary energy audit, call 1-800-332-3333 or visit http://www.nationalgridus.com/smallbusiness.

IIUSA Supports Inter-Agency Collaboration to Protect the Integrity of the EB-5 Program
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) October 03, 2013
The Association to Invest In the USA (IIUSA), the trade association representing more than 100 EB-5 Regional Centers, supports the recent action of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to stop a Regional Center in Texas from allegedly defrauding EB-5 investors. IIUSA also applauds the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for its cooperation with the SEC in the matter.
“Proper oversight, transparency, compliance with – and enforcement of – all applicable securities, anti-fraud and immigration laws and regulations are essential to maintain the confidence of all industry stakeholders and ensure that the EB-5 program continues to bring capital and job creation to American communities,” said Peter D. Joseph, Executive Director of IIUSA.
“Our position is clear: efficient and effective enforcement of U.S. securities laws is as essential for the EB-5 program as it is for any investment vehicle,” said K. David Andersson, President of IIUSA.
The EB-5 Regional Center economic development program successfully spurs U.S. job creation and economic growth by attracting foreign direct investment in the United States. A comprehensive peer-reviewed economic study found that from 2010-2011, investments made through the EB-5 program contributed $ 2.2 billion to U.S. GDP and supported over 28,000 jobs at no cost to taxpayers. IIUSA’s members account for 95 percent of all capital raised through the EB-5 program.
IIUSA has a track record of working cooperatively with USCIS and other regulatory agencies to strengthen the program through effective enforcement of anti-fraud, securities and immigration law. For example, IIUSA recently filed an amicus brief supporting SEC action to stop a Regional Center and developer from making misleading claims about investment opportunities.
Other initiatives supported by IIUSA include:
An “Investor Alert” jointly issued by the SEC and USCIS that provides prospective EB-5 investors with information on conducting due diligence evaluations of EB-5 securities offerings.
Distribution of guidance published by FINRA for broker-dealers marketing EB-5 related securities.
Support for several important reforms included in the comprehensive immigration reform legislation that recently passed the full Senate that would strengthen law enforcement and national security protections.
“Investments made through EB-5 Regional Centers provide a new, vital source of funding for local economic development projects, often in partnership with local governments and economic development agencies. These successful projects are revitalizing communities across the country, creating and supporting jobs, infrastructure and services,” noted Joseph. “Protecting the integrity of the program is critical to continue bringing jobs and economic benefits to cities and towns across the country.”
###
Founded in 2005, the Association to Invest In the USA (IIUSA) is the national not-for-profit industry trade association for the EB-5 Regional Center Program, representing well over 100 Regional Center members that account for over 95 percent of the capital flowing through the Program. IIUSA represents the industry in government and public affairs, telling the story of how the EB-5 Program has become a fundamental part of U.S. economic development policy – with operations covering advocacy, industry development, and education. An essential part of IIUSA’s mission is to stimulate economic development and job growth through continued success of the program as well as advance and maintain industry standards and best practices.
