Be the greatness of generosity
Day four brought toys! As part of the OPC Toy Drive, staff members were asked to bring in toys, contributing to the joy of OPC youth during the holiday season. From Barbie to board games to Play-Doh and more, the generosity of the OPC staff was on full display. This challenge reinforced the organization’s commitment to nurturing the hearts of the youth served every day at OPC.

Be the greatness of advocacy
On the final day of the Giving Challenge, OPC employees were asked to share a charity that has a special meaning to them. This provided an opportunity for individuals to learn about other organizations and connect on a personal level.

Alfa Romeo Partnership with Sauber Motorsports in F1 Completes Mission

– Commercial partnership between Alfa Romeo and Sauber Motorsport in F1, which began in 2018, comes to an end at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
– Six seasons in F1 have contributed to the relaunch of Alfa Romeo brand image and awareness of its cutting-edge technology
– Brand closes successful chapter in its motorsport history, which has always been part of the brands DNA

Auburn Hills, Mich. – WEBWIRE

The partnership between Alfa Romeo and Sauber Motorsport in Formula 1 comes to an end at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

In 2018, after more than 30 years of absence, Alfa Romeo returned with impetus to the highest levels of motorsport, as part of a strategic, commercial, and technological partnership. Six years of fruitful and passionate collaboration between two companies, Alfa Romeo and Sauber Motorsport, provided thrilling moments in Formula 1.

The brand is appreciative of these unforgettable years with Sauber, which came together under the leadership of the late Sergio Marchionne, who strongly desired this pairing and enthusiastically supported the partnership in 2018.

At the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the C43 takes to the track with the number six emblazoned across the entire livery of the single seater, to celebrate the six-years partnership with the Sauber brand. Additionally, the wording Alfa Romeo nei nostri cuori (Alfa Romeo, always in our hearts) appears on the livery, a tribute from Sauber to the Alfa Romeo team.

Jean-Philippe Imparato, Alfa Romeo CEO:
At the end of those six seasons, its time to take stock. For Alfa Romeo, this F1 adventure represented an international showcase at the highest level, as well as a profound human and sporting experience that supported our products dynamics with a great return on investment, providing a powerful strategic worldwide marketing platform for Alfa Romeo. The benefits in terms of visibility serve as a benchmark for the entire Stellantis group. Alfa Romeo has competition in its DNA and will return to thrill its fans as soon as possible, when the conditions are right”

Cristiano Fiorio, Alfa Romeo Strategic Projects:
To encapsulate these wonderful years with Sauber Motorsport in Formula 1: the ability to innovate, surprise, and create emotions, not only with sporting results but also with ingenuity and creativity, proudly bearing the Italian flag at all times. An extraordinary team spirit has brought together the people of Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake, Alfa Romeo and Centro Stile, into a single great team that has drawn inspiration from the past to boldly face the challenges of the future. This spirit has given rise to Alfa Romeos biggest marketing operation in recent years. I can only be extraordinarily pleased with what we have achieved together. Thank you all and see you again soon!

Six years of collaboration with Sauber Motorsport have produced far-ranging benefits from the partnership that go beyond race results. Formula 1 is indeed a cradle of driving excellence, a pioneer in hybrid strategy at the forefront of sustainable technology and in a constant quest for efficiency. Sauber Technologys specific technical know-how and continuous technological research have played a strategic role of great importance in many Alfa Romeo projects.

A direct example of these efforts was the production of the Giulia GTA and GTAm: the result of an intense synergy in the development of carbon components with an aerodynamic impact. Alfa Romeo has benefited from Saubers expertise more than 50 years at the highest levels of motorsport.

Alfa Romeo and motorsport
Alfa Romeo is synonymous with racing and technological prestige all over the world. The undisputed star of pre-war Grand Prix seasons (in 1925, the GP Tipo P2 dominated the first World Championship), Alfa Romeo played a part in Formula 1 as both a manufacturer and an engine supplier. Way back when it made its debut in 1950 and 1951, Alfa Romeo won the first Drivers World Championship, with Nino Farina and Juan Manuel Fangio. From 1976 to 1979, Alfa Romeo participated as an engine supplier. After returning in 1979 as a constructor, Alfa Romeo finished sixth in the 1983 Constructors Championship, its best result. The company then withdrew its team from Formula 1 in 1985.

TOMS RIVER, N.J.Nov. 6, 2023PRLog — Ocean Partnership for Children (OPC) had the honor of attending 2023 Community Resource Development (CRD) Fund awardee, HOPE Sheds Light’s Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the HOPE Sheds Light Youth Recovery Center on Wednesday, October 24, 2023, at 253 Chestnut Street, Toms River, NJ.

“Our goal is to bring together a variety of services for young people under one roof,” stated Pamela Capaci, CEO of HOPE Sheds Light. “The Youth Recovery Center offers a safe space with peer led recovery services, a GED lab as well as other opportunities for youth through our partnerships with the service providers. Young people need other young people that are interested in a similar lifestyle. They need to build a new peer group that has a social norm not focused on drug use, a new peer group that understands that a situation does not define you, but how you navigate your way through the situation builds character. Being led by an organization that is peer to peer, we bring our experiences, stories, voices and hope.”

HOPE Sheds Light (HSL) was awarded $67,788 through the CRD Fund to enhance HSL’s Recovery Center program options and offer a comprehensive continuum of recovery support services to adolescents impacted by personal and/or familial substance use disorder. The program will offer a variety of weekly youth recovery support groups as well as monthly sober social recreational activities. Certified peer recovery specialists will work with participants to help them identify their renewed values, beliefs and interests and to create a vision for their future that will serve as an incentive to sustain long term recovery. Each participant will develop their own recovery success plan that identifies their personal recovery goals.

“OPC is so pleased to award the 2023 CRD funds to HOPE Sheds Light. Their work is amazing, and the development of a sober peer community is essential for our youth,” said Mary Jo Buchanan, Executive Director of OPC. OPC provides care management services to children and youth experiencing emotional, behavioral, developmental, intellectual, and substance use needs, and their families. “As part of our contract with the New Jersey Children’s System of Care (CSOC), OPC has access to limited community resource development (CRD) funds designated for one-time use by community organizations to develop new, additional, and/or unique resources that address unmet or under-served needs in Ocean County. HOPE Sheds Light absolutely provides a unique and needed resource,” explained Buchanan.

With the success of the 2023 CRD Funds, OPC announced the next round of funding. The 2024 CRD Funds Request for Proposals was announced on October 30, 2023. Information can be found at: https://www.oceanpartnership.org/providers/community-resource-development-funds/ A maximum total of $67,788.07 is available to fund one or more projects for the 2024 CRD Fund. “Funding is to be used for expansion or creation of programs that serve Ocean County youth experiencing emotional, behavioral, developmental, intellectual, substance use needs, and their families,” said Buchanan.

Based on specific needs identified in Ocean County, projects that address the following areas will be given particular consideration:

  • Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD)/neurodiverse social and therapeutic groups
