HelloPrenup's 2023 Prenuptial Agreement Study provides fresh insights into the dynamics of modern couples and their legal preparations before marriage.

BOSTON, August 29, 2023 (Newswire.com) - HelloPrenup, the premier platform for data-driven prenuptial agreement insights, released the results of their 2023 prenuptial agreement study, which not only highlights the essential metrics surrounding prenups but also shatters several prevailing myths. The most unexpected of these findings? A substantial 83.81% of respondents reported feeling more connected with their partner post-prenup completion. 

This study went deep into understanding the motivations and dynamics of couples who signed prenups within the last 20 years and unveiled some noteworthy insights: 

1. Demographics & Relationship Status: The majority of participants were married (77.14%) and were predominantly between the ages of 30 to 45 years. 

2. Income Diversity: Prenuptial agreements are not just for the wealthy. The study debunked the misconception, showcasing that individuals across various financial backgrounds prioritize prenups as a forward-thinking financial tool. In fact, 25.46% of respondents who initiated the idea of the prenup reported individual income of less than $50,000/year.

3. Regional Preferences: New York emerged as the most prominent state for prenups, with 19.05% of the participants creating their prenups there, followed closely by California and Florida. 

4. Initiation: Over half (50.25%) of the respondents were the first to bring up the idea of a prenup to their partner, emphasizing the significance of individual financial autonomy and planning. 

5. Motivations: Interestingly, of the folks who initiated the prenup, 47.27% were primarily looking to define property as separate or marital (among others). However, of the folks who were proposed a prenup by their partner, the majority of folks were looking to protect against debt 59.26%, highlighting the value of prenups as not only protecting against assets but the intention of protecting against debt as well. 

6. Prenup Purpose: Beyond the conventional reasons like defining assets and protecting against their partner's debts, many respondents indicated motives like mapping out inheritances (33.33%), addressing spousal support (23.81%), and even discussing unique lifestyle choices (23.81%) affecting obligations while married and in the event of an unlikely separation or divorce (21.9%). 

These groundbreaking findings are the first of many to be released with HelloPrenup's ongoing efforts of being a data-driven resource for all things relationships.

LAS VEGAS, August 29, 2023 (Newswire.com) - The Shaquille O'Neal Foundation today announced their third annual fundraising gala, The Event, presented by Pepsi Stronger Together on October 7, 2023 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. This year's gala will be hosted by Actor, Comedian, and Host Joel McHale, and will feature an all-star music and comedy line-up, including performances from EGOT-winning singer-songwriter John Legend; GRAMMY-winning country-pop duo Dan + Shay; 8x GRAMMY award winner DJ Pee .Wee (aka Anderson .Paak) spinning an all vinyl set; EGOT Award-winner Jennifer Hudson; and Emmy Award-winning comedian Ray Romano. Returning for his third year as Music Director is GRAMMY and Emmy Award winner Adam Blackstone.

The Event is the primary fundraiser for The Shaquille O'Neal Foundation, established by NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal. The Shaquille O'Neal Foundation aims to create pathways for underserved youth to help them achieve their full potential. In doing so, they have partnered with two organizations close to Shaquille's heart - Boys & Girls Clubs and Communities In Schools.

Tickets to the public concert are available and on sale now via AXS.com. Prices range from $50 to $250. The evening will also include a private cocktail reception, dinner, and live auction followed by the public performance. Table sponsorships for the private event are available ranging from $15,000 to $100,000. Additional details about The Event and ticket or table options can be found at shaqfoundation.org.

"We raised the bar last year, and The Third Event promises to do the same," O'Neal said. "I'm so grateful to our entertainers who are once again donating their time. I know they will create a night of incredible music and comedy in a true testament to the power of unity to make a difference in kids' lives. I'm also excited to see familiar faces and new supporters alike, joining hands in the spirit of compassion to give back to the community. Let's make this another night to remember!"

The Foundation focuses on serving children in Las Vegas and Atlanta. To date, The Event has raised more than $6M, providing key support for the Shaquille O'Neal Boys & Girls Club of Henry County, the construction of youth athletic courts and fields, Shaquille's annual Shaq-a-Claus holiday program, and more. This year's proceeds will continue to support similar efforts, including the construction of a new joint facility which will house a Boys & Girls Club and a Communities In Schools Alumni Center in Las Vegas.

"We are proud to partner again with The Shaquille O'Neal Foundation to support our communities in need," said Kent Montgomery, SVP, Industry Relations and Multicultural Development, PepsiCo. "Our goal is to bring smiles and support to historically underserved communities, and this partnership supports our shared vision to drive equity and help truly make a difference."

Watercress contains over 50 essential nutrients to help fight off illness and infections.

FELLSMERE, Fla., August 29, 2023 (Newswire.com) - With many illnesses on the rise, consumers are uncovering natural methods to boost immune support, and eating watercress is one of the best ways to strengthen your immune system, says B&W Quality Growers. The immune system comprises the spleen, thymus, bone marrow, and skin that work together to keep toxins from entering the body. A strong immune system prevents and fights off illnesses by producing, maintaining, and repairing the body's cells and can be stimulated by watercress, according to the National Institute of Health. 

Watercress contains over 50 essential nutrients and is the only food to obtain a perfect score from both the CDC and ANDI. Its high levels of fiber, magnesium, and potassium aid the thymus, responsible for white cell production, in fighting off infections. White blood cells are the body's immune cells, flowing through the bloodstream to fight off foreign invaders to keep the body healthy. 

But just as important as cell production, the immune system also works to maintain the cells it produces. The spleen monitors white and red blood cell levels in the body and bone marrow releases these blood cells when they are mature and required. The calcium and carotenoids, potent antioxidants, found in watercress support these organs by lowering oxidative stress and ultimately, the risk of cell damage and chronic illnesses, such as arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. 

Additionally, watercress is rich in folate and Vitamins C and E, some of the primary nutrients in aiding the largest part of the immune system and the body's first line of defense, the skin. Vitamin E protects the skin from free radical damage caused by lifestyle factors such as the sun, smoking, and pollution, amongst other toxins. At the same time, folate is a vital nutrient for DNA repair. Vitamin C helps heal injuries through cell and tissue repair, and it supports collagen production, which provides strength and structure to the middle layer of the skin to allow new cells to grow. 

A strong immune system can prevent and treat illnesses and infections. Incorporating watercress into your diet is a natural way to strengthen the immune system and raw consumption is the best way to absorb the nutrients from this power-packed superfood. Because of watercress's high Vitamin K content - 106% of your daily recommended dosage - always consult your physician before regularly changing your health routine.

MILWAUKEE, August 29, 2023 (Newswire.com) - In a significant move to combat the ongoing opioid epidemic that has ravaged communities across the United States, Serve You Rx announced the transition of ownership of its life-saving Overdose Aid Kit (OAK) program to the Clinton Foundation. This transition was unveiled during a press conference held on August 16, 2023, hosted by the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) as part of the launch of the month-long "Mobilize Recovery Across Georgia Bus Tour."

The opioid epidemic has devastated communities nationwide, with 109,000 lives lost to drug overdose in the United States in 2022 alone. In light of this urgent need for intervention, the transition of the OAK program to the Clinton Foundation holds great promise for its national scalability and impact.

During the press conference, Chris Thrasher, Chief Executive Officer of the Substance Use Disorders and Recovery Division at the Clinton Foundation, highlighted the Foundation's ongoing commitment to addressing the opioid crisis. He stated, "The OAK Program is a brand-new Clinton initiative that will work to get naloxone into as many businesses, schools, government agencies, and households as possible by installing these boxes. And we are grateful for our partnership with Serve You Rx for transitioning this program over to us at the Clinton Foundation so we can begin to scale it nationally."

Justin Jasniewski, CEO of Serve You Rx, expressed enthusiasm for the transition, noting, "We are thrilled to entrust our OAK Program to the Clinton Foundation, especially during such a pivotal moment in the nation's fight against overdose deaths and addiction. With the Foundation's resources, passion, and commitment, we're confident that they will amplify the OAK mission of delivering life-saving naloxone to those that need it and meeting them where they are in their communities without shame or stigma."

The OAK Program represents a crucial step in saving lives and mitigating the far-reaching impacts of the opioid crisis. As the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities partners with the Clinton Foundation to launch the "Mobilize Recovery Across Georgia Bus Tour," this collaboration is a beacon of hope and progress in the ongoing battle against addiction.
