LG EXPANDS MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT FOR NCAA FINAL FOUR HOST SCHOOLS WITH NAMI PARTNERSHIP

Published

on

LG continues its commitment to supporting mental health awareness, providing resources and support for students

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., April 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics USA, an Official NCAA Corporate Partner, is building on its commitment to supporting student well-being by partnering with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) to provide support to the host schools of the 2025 NCAA Final Four Men’s and Women’s Tournaments. This year, LG is awarding University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) and University of South Florida (USF) $10,000 each to bolster their local NAMI on Campus clubs and enhance mental health resources for students.

“Creating a supportive environment for mental health and well-being is paramount,” said Chris Jung, CEO of LG Electronics North America. “Through our partnership with NAMI and support for these universities, we aim to provide tangible resources that will foster students’ mental wellness.”

The donation will enable each university’s NAMI on Campus club to expand its programming, increase awareness of mental health resources and provide peer support for students facing challenges. In addition, each university will receive LG’s innovative Counter-Depth MAX™ refrigerator with Zero Clearance™ for their student meeting spaces.

“As a former college athlete, I know how powerful it is to have a community that’s got your back—on and off the court,” said Dan Gillison, Jr., CEO of NAMI. “That’s why I’m so grateful for LG’s continued partnership and their deep commitment to student mental health. With their support, we’re helping launch NAMI On Campus clubs in tournament host cities—creating space for students and student athletes to connect, learn, and lean on one another. Moments like the Final Four remind us that mental health is a team effort—and with LG on our team, we’re building something that lasts far beyond the game.”

“UTSA is committed to providing students with the resources they need to overcome barriers to their personal and professional success,” said LT Robinson, Senior Vice Provost for Student Affairs and Dean of Students at UTSA. “LG’s support will be a game-changer in our efforts to ensure that all students receive well-being support throughout their academic journey.”

“We’re so grateful for LG’s commitment to mental health,” said Dr. Kevin Milligan, Director of Behavioral Health Services at UIW. “This will help us create a more supportive campus community and bring greater awareness to mental health and the resources available to students.”

The initiative strengthens LG’s ongoing dedication to championing mental health awareness and resources for student-athletes and the broader campus community.

“Mental health is a vital part of overall health. In fact, mental health is a health, safety and performance strategic priority of the NCAA, endorsed by the NCAA Board of Governors,” added Dr. Deena Casiero, Chief Medical Officer of the NCAA. “The NCAA Mental Health Best Practices, which provide member schools with guidance for supporting student-athlete mental health, highlight the importance of creating healthy environments that promote well-being.  This collaboration between LG and NAMI will support NCAA member school efforts to foster mental health promoting environments.  We are grateful to LG and NAMI for their commitment to student-athlete mental health.”

In 2024, LG demonstrated this commitment through its creation of the LG Life’s Good Coaches Award, which recognized NCAA coaches who foster mental health awareness and created supportive environments for their student-athletes. Inaugural recipients included University of Washington women’s rowing coach Yasmin Farooq and Oklahoma Christian University men’s golf coach David Lynn, who were honored for their dedication to their athletes’ well-being. In addition to the recognition, LG provided cash and product donations to the coaches’ respective universities, further supporting mental health initiatives on campus. Nominations for the 2025 LG Life’s Good Coaches Award will begin later this month. For more information, visit www.lg.com/ncaa.

Additionally, LG’s Transparent Conversations podcast series, which launched in 2022, has provided a platform for candid discussions about student-athlete mental health challenges and practical coping tools.

BC Token Hits $0.02, Setting a New All-Time High

Published

on

By

$BC has risen nearly 70% since April as BC Engine continues to expand the token‘s utility across the BC.GAME ecosystem

BELIZE CITY, Belize, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BC Token ($BC), the ecosystem token of BC.GAME, reached $0.02 on July 23, setting a new all-time high and extending its recent upward price movement.

According to CoinGecko, $BC reached the $0.02 milestone after moving steadily into a higher price range over the past several weeks. The token previously recorded a high of around $0.01561 on July 17 before continuing its upward movement.

Compared with its price of approximately $0.01181 on April 12, $BC has increased by nearly 70%. The latest milestone is also part of a series of new price records reached by the token since the launch of BC Engine in April.

Alongside the price growth, BC.GAME has continued to expand the practical use of $BC across its platform ecosystem.

Through BC Engine, users can allocate eligible $BC to the platform’s reward system and receive BCD rewards distributed on an hourly basis. Users can also view their allocated tokens, accumulated rewards and participation data directly through the BC Engine interface.

The system is designed to connect $BC participation with activity generated by products and partners across the wider BC.GAME ecosystem.

BC Originals, Croco Gaming and sports betting technology provider BETBY have already been integrated as Engine Nodes. Contributions from participating products and partners help support the BC Engine reward pool, creating a direct connection between platform activity, user participation and token utility.

“Reaching $0.02 is an important milestone for $BC, but price is only one part of the ecosystem’s continued development,” a BC.GAME spokesperson said. “Our focus remains on expanding the token‘s practical uses and connecting it more closely with products, rewards and user participation across the platform.”

The $BC ecosystem also includes separate buyback and token-burning mechanisms.

A portion of the tokens acquired through BC.GAME’s ongoing buyback activity may be redistributed to eligible active users through features such as Instant Bonus. The buyback programme operates separately from the token-burning mechanism.

Token burning is primarily connected to the BC Engine unlocking process. When users unlock $BC less than seven days after allocating it to BC Engine, 1% of the unlocked amount is permanently burned. Users who wait at least seven days can unlock the full amount without triggering a burn.

BC.GAME plans to introduce additional products and Engine Nodes while continuing to improve the visibility of reward distributions, token burns and other related on-chain activity.

The platform will also explore further uses for $BC across original games, sports betting and digital-asset reward experiences as the ecosystem continues to develop.

More information about BC Engine and the $BC ecosystem is available at bc.game/bc.

BinBase Enhances 2026 USA BIN Intelligence for Durbin Compliance, Debit Network Routing, and Level 2/3 Interchange Savings

Published

on

By

BinBase updates its US payment dataset with advanced Durbin Regulation flags, ATM/Debit network routing indicators, and Level 2/3 commercial card markers to help merchants significantly reduce processing fees.

MIAMI, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — BinBase, a leading provider of card issuing and payment analytics data, has announced major US-focused updates to its 2026 BIN Database. Designed specifically for payment facilitators (PayFacs), US acquiring banks, and enterprise e-commerce merchants, the updated dataset targets one of the largest operational costs in payment processing: transaction interchange fees.

In the competitive US payment ecosystem, a fraction of a percent in interchange savings translates to millions of dollars for merchants. BinBase provides the exact data needed for dynamic cost-optimizing routing.

Processing credit and debit cards in the United States requires navigating complex regulatory framework and network rules. A critical element is the Durbin Amendment, which caps interchange fees on debit cards issued by regulated US banks (institutions with $10 billion or more in assets). Without precise, updated BIN-level data, payment gateways frequently misidentify unregulated cards, leading to suboptimal routing and higher processing fees.

The updated BinBase dataset addresses this challenge by providing dedicated attributes for US processing optimization:

Durbin Regulation Identification: Instant Y/N status markers allowing payment gateways to dynamically detect US regulated debit cards and apply appropriate cost structures.US Debit & ATM Network Routing: Granular routing indicators for major US PIN-debit and PINless networks, including STAR, NYCE, Pulse, and Accel, empowering payment routing engines to choose the most cost-effective path.Commercial Data Eligibility (Level 2 / Level 3): Precise identification of corporate, business, and purchasing cards eligible for Level 2/3 line-item processing, helping B2B merchants lower interchange rates on corporate transactions.Personal vs. Commercial Usage Classification: Clear distinction between consumer and corporate card ranges to prevent fee misclassification at checkout.

“In the competitive US payment ecosystem, a fraction of a percent in interchange savings translates to millions of dollars annually for high-volume merchants,” said a spokesperson for Damiko Inc. “By combining Durbin status with US debit network data and extended 8-to-11-digit precision, BinBase provides payment engineers with the exact surgical data needed to build smart, cost-optimizing routing engines.”

To evaluate the US-specific data attributes and test integration compatibility, developers can inspect the schema and download the free 2026 sample dataset on GitHub.

Damiko Inc is a US-based fintech data provider specializing in card issuer analytics, payment routing data, and global BIN database solutions.
