Foundation Financial Group Participates in Movember

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) December 11, 2012

Foundation Financial Group employees at the Dallas, Texas office located at 1903 Central Drive, Suite 201, participated in an event throughout the month of November. The movement, known as Movember, consists of men growing out their facial hair to raise vital awareness and funds for mens health issues, specifically mens cancer initiatives. The men at Foundation Financial Groups Dallas office grew out their moustaches.

The mission of Movember is to promote awareness of primarily male illnesses. Specifically, the movement targets prostate and testicular cancer. In 2011, over 854,000 global Movember partakers raised $ 126.3 million. Since the movements creation in Melbourne, Australia, the event has inspired and recruited more than 1.9 million participants.

Participants start November 1st clean shaven, and throughout the month grow out their facial hair. The participants are known as Mo Bros, and supportive women are known as Mo Sistas. The men become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November, according to the movements mission statement. The Mo Bros of FFG participated and raised funds for the cause.

Participating in Movember is very important to me especially as a man, Foundation Financial Group Event Coordinator, Andrew Postell stated. One in two men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, as compared with one in three women. And we are 35 percent more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than a woman is with breast cancer. And those figures double for African American men. Yet men are less likely to go to the doctor than a woman.

As this movement grows so will awareness to mens health, Postell continued. The complete eradication of cancer is the goal and if having our office grow mustaches helps achieve that goal then we will participate every year.

At the end of the month, Mo Bros either attend their own Movember parties or one of the well-known Gala Part

PrimeRevenue to Present on Best Practices in Integrating the Physical and Financial Supply Chains

(PRWEB) December 17, 2012

Atlanta, GA, December 17, 2012 Eugene Buckley, PrimeRevenue Inc. vice president and general manager Asia Pacific, will deliver a presentation on ways of integrating the physical and financial supply chains. Mr. Buckleys presentation will be part of the 2013 Supply Chain and Logistics Summit Asia (SCL) held by Exporta on January 8-9th at the Ritz-Carlton, Millenia, Singapore.

One of Exportas premier events, the SCL Summit will address the challenges and opportunities associated with Asias exponential business growth rate. Topics on the agenda include ways of optimizing vendor management and negotiations in Asia, achieving demand forecasting accuracy in increasingly unpredictable markets, and improving supply chain resilience. Mr. Buckleys workshop will discuss ways the financial supply chain can keep up with the physical stream of goods by using flexible supply chain finance (SCF) solutions to increase access to working capital.

Advancements in the supply chain and logistics arena over the past 20 years have been impressive and substantial, said Eugene Buckley, PrimeRevenue Inc. vice president and general manager Asia Pacific. The financial supply chain incorporating payments, access to working capital and flexible financing for supply chains to fund improvements and compete in a more dynamic environment has to date lagged behind developments for the physical supply chain. For Asian suppliers, waiting for payment for goods and services can lock up cash, so access to competitively priced working capital is increasingly a point of difference in highly optimized supply chains. The PrimeRevenue OpenSCi SCF solution allows access to on-demand liquidity via a multi-banking platform allowing significant cost and risk reductions for both buyers and suppliers, added Buckley.
