Milk is Proud to Expand Their Sponsorship Efforts While Simultaneously Continuing to Empower the Next Generation in Partnership With Girls on the Run

NEW YORK, May 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Milk is proud to offer sponsorship to any woman running the Cigna Denver Colfax Marathon. A continuation of Milk’s 26.2 campaign – a nationwide program of support and a commitment to sponsor all female marathon runners, Milk will be taking their sponsorship on tour, starting in Denver. From special events leading up to the race, to local female partnerships and resources for women throughout marathon weekend, Milk aims to provide motivation and inspiration for #TeamMilk at every touchpoint of the 26.2 journey.

 

Milk is proud to offer sponsorship to any woman running the Cigna Denver Colfax Marathon.

Wondering what #TeamMilk entails? Female runners can sign up to be a part of #TeamMilk to receive exclusive gear, Denver Colfax course insights in partnership with Denver running club Brunch Running, female-centric nutrition and training, advice from leading experts and a slew of supporting activities leading up to race day. #TeamMilk runners, or those looking to sign up, can stop by Milk’s 26.2 booth at the Cigna Denver Colfax Marathon Expo on Friday, May 19th and Saturday, May 20th to pick up running gear, create their own #TeamMilk name tag sticker for supporters to cheer them on, receive recovery tips, stretching and pre-race warm-ups from Denver Sports Recovery, and even snap a photo at a photo wall to appear on a billboard in Denver. Friends and family can also create custom signs and pick up cowbells to cheer on runners during the race.

Even better, when you sign up for #TeamMilk, your run benefits future runners through Milk’s ‘Every. Woman. Sponsored.’ fund in support of Girls on the Run, an organization dedicated to empowering girls through running and physical activity. For every woman that signs up for #TeamMilk, Milk will make a donation (up to $1,000,000 USD) to help Girls on the Run evolve their curriculum with enhanced social-emotional learning skills that speak to the issues girls face today. In the lead up to the race, Milk is also proud to support the Girls on the Run Rockies 5K on Saturday, May 20th, providing chocolate milk at the finish line for all.

During the race on Sunday, May 21st, the #TeamMilk cheer squad is taking over mile 23 with a milky white tunnel of motivation in support of all runners as they head into the final miles of the race. Once they cross that finish line, Milk will be ready to help them relax and refuel at the Milk Recovery Lounge, located near the finish line. #TeamMilk runners can stop by to charge their phones, stretch with experts from Denver Sports Recovery, enjoy live music, pick up exclusive recovery gear and most importantly refuel with Chocolate Milk, with an ideal 3:1 protein to carb ratio for recovery.

Whether you sign up for the 5K or you are running your first marathon, research shows dairy milk is a great nutritional partner during training. Milk’s nutrients help provide sustained energy and hydration to fuel runs and help refuel, repair and rebuild tired muscles post-run.

“While the numeric distance is the same for every marathon runner, women often start much further behind when it comes to sponsorships, support and visibility which is why we are excited to support women runners at the Cigna Denver Colfax Marathon,” said MilkPEP CEO Yin Woon Rani. “We want all women to feel supported and empowered throughout their marathon journey and we are proud to provide the local resources, support, and community to run 26.2 miles.”

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

About LEAP Group
LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
