UFirst will also be listed as a top contributor to La Roca FC’s scholarship program thus helping many children obtain access to learn and play the beautiful game of soccer.
“We have been very selective about the sponsor we would be willing to place next to our crest,” says La Roca FC’s Founder and Technical Director, Adolfo Ovalle. “In fact, since 2005, we’ve never found a partner worthy of this valuable real estate. We believe that UFirst embodies the same qualities we strive to live by at La Roca FC which is a focus to better the community. We are very excited to have them on board and look forward to the added benefits they will bring to our club.”
Derek Knowlton, the Chief Marketing Officer with UFirst said, “We are excited for this new partnership with La Roca Futbol Club! Youth sports is an important part of our Utah communities, and La Roca has always been a leader in youth soccer. We feel La Roca’s values and principles align perfectly with the values of our credit union. We are thrilled to be a part of the La Roca family.”
UFirst will provide financial education resources to La Roca FC players and their families. In addition, the credit union will sponsor various club events and activities, including financial literacy workshops for youth players. Other facets of the partnership include a financial incentive to both players and family members to open savings accounts along with a pay for good grades program.
La Roca FC is committed to not only developing top-tier soccer players, but also well-rounded individuals who are equipped with the skills and knowledge to succeed in all aspects of life. “We believe that financial literacy is a crucial component of this development and are grateful to have the support of UFirst in this effort,” says Laura Coffee, La Roca FC’s Elite Programs Director, “It’s another step for developing our players to be ready for the future on and off the pitch.”
La Roca FC is very excited to see the positive impact this partnership will have on both the club and the community and look forward to a long and successful collaboration with UFirst. To learn more about the partnership and offering, please visit https://larocafc.com/ufirst/.

The MSCI Indexes are key benchmarks for institutional investors investing in the global equity markets, and cover companies with positive operating performance and solid potential. The selected stocks must meet the market capitalization, liquidity and free-float requirements, and thus have a high reference value. The MSCI China Indexes consist of a range of country, composite and non-domestic indexes for the Chinese market, intended for both international and domestic investors, including Qualified Domestic Institutional Investors (QDII) and Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (QFII) licensees. The indexes are calculated according to the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes (GIMI) Methodology.
The inclusion of the Group in the MSCI China Index reaffirms the market’s recognition of the Group’s business development. CR Pharmaceutical’s share price has been on a valuation recovery trajectory since 2022. The Group’s innovative and transformative strategy and stable business performance have been widely recognized by the market. As at the end of October, the Group’s market capitalization increased by almost 50% compared with the beginning of the year, and stock activity also increased year-over-year. As a result of this inclusion in the MSCI China Index, a large number of passive indices funds are expected to purchase the Company’s shares. This will further improve the Company’s performance in the stock market.
In the future, CR Pharmaceutical will uphold its mission of “being the guardian of human health and improving quality of life”. It will continue to optimize its business structure and consolidate its leading position in the industry with R&D innovation and investment in M&A as its engines. This will bring favorable returns to its shareholders and contribute to the growth of the health industry in China.

Crisis Text Line, a non-profit organization that provides free, 24/7 text-based mental health support, and the American Association of Suicidology (AAS) are proud to announce that Crisis Text Line has become the first online-only emotional support (OES) service to receive accreditation for crisis programs. AAS accreditation guarantees individuals who are in crisis, as well as local and state governments funding crisis programs, that Crisis Text Line is delivering services according to nationally recognized standards.
“Our entire team at AAS wants to congratulate Crisis Text Line on the work they have done to earn accreditation,” said Anthony Wood, AAS’s Interim Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer. “It is wonderful to see organizations making the most of technological tools to deliver quality services that truly meet people where they are and in the manner in which they are most comfortable communicating.”
Crisis Text Line underwent an extensive evaluation process that reviewed the organization’s training process, organizational structure, handling of life-threatening crises, ethical standards and community integration, among other focus areas.
“We are so honored to have received AAS accreditation, which recognizes our tireless work over the last nine years of providing exceptional mental health support for our community of texters in need,” said Dena Trujillo, CEO of Crisis Text Line. “Our unwavering commitment is two-fold: to create an empathetic world where nobody feels alone and to promote well-being for people wherever they are.”
In December of 2021, the U.S. Surgeon General issued a rare public advisory warning of a mental health crisis in America’s youth population, stating that social workers, psychologists and counselors are unable to meet the pandemic-fueled demand for mental health support. It’s clear that an accessible, anonymous, text based service like Crisis Text Line is more necessary now than ever before. In 2021 alone, Crisis Text Line engaged in nearly 1.3 million conversations and de-escalated over 17,000 conversations with people who reached out indicating that they were in imminent danger of ending their lives or harming someone else.
About Crisis Text Line
