AY Young announced a new commitment to advancing clean energy at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) 2024 Annual Meeting.

A singer, songwriter, United Nations Youth Leader, and entrepreneur, AY Young is powering a movement with his upcoming album Project17, a Battery Tour initiative. With partners including the United Nations, Samsung USA, and General Motors, each song on Project17 is dedicated to one of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) with all profits to be awarded to organizations pushing the SDGs forward.

AY’s commitment centers on SDG 7, affordable and clean energy. Around the world, as international public financing for clean energy for developing countries continues to decline, 675 million people still live in the dark. AY is directing crucial capital for an equitable global energy transition.

On stage at the CGI annual meeting, AY will announce his world record-breaking commitment to power 1,000 concerts entirely with clean energy, with aspirations to play his 1,000th show at Amazon’s Climate Pledge Arena on Earth Day 2025. He shut down Times Square for his 958th battery powered show on the #roadto1000 at Climate Week NYC.

“I was raised by a family of changemakers who used their platform to drive forward a better future,” says AY Young. “I’m blessed to continue that legacy and partner with the Clinton Global Initiative to use music to power global impact.”

Sierra Nevada makes a difference fighting the food insecurity crisis during the holiday season

By Sierra Nevada Brewing Company

Food insecurity is rapidly sweeping across our great nation, and those of us who can stand up and fight will undoubtedly want to stand with companies such as Sierra Nevada Brewing Company who have donated $1 Million to Community Nonprofits during this pandemic, and they’re just getting started! The holiday season is a time of giving unprecedented by any other event during a year. This is especially important to remember during this year when the COVID19 Pandemic has quelled our celebrations and impacted roughly 20% of U.S. households. It has hampered abilities to pay bills even as important as mortgage and rent and is leaving a record number of Americans facing unemployment, decreased wages, increased expenses for essential items as they become demanded commodities, healthcare, and childcare. Some have even been left without a home for the holidays. Efforts across the nation that Sierra Nevada has partnered with include Rethink (New York), Community Servings (Boston), Common Pantry(Chicago), Sol Collective (Sacramento), #HashtagLunchbag (Los Angeles), Second Harvest (San Jose), Del Mar Village Association (San Diego), SF New Deal (San Francisco), Carolina Farm Trust (Charlotte), and Second Helpings (Atlanta). 

In August, Sierra Nevada unveiled its new program centered around the release of Dankful IPA, a generously hoppy beer launched to help the brewery raise awareness for a variety of nonprofits working to support local communities. A hoppy West Coast-style IPA, Dankful is now available at retail stores across the country. The beer is 7.4% ABV with 55 IBU’s and resinous flavor notes of pine and tropical fruit. Regardless of the purchase, the company has committed to this $1 million pledge to help! On your program, Robin will discuss:

o    Sierra Nevada’s Goal to support communities and what has allowed them to become so agile in this pursuit.

o    How Sierra Nevada Brewing Company is providing immediate support to Nonprofits who do incredible things for their communities.

o    How Philanthropy has been brewed into the company culture since it’s humble beginnings. 

o    How Sierra Nevada has contributed to help ramp up testing and provide necessary tools to Medical Centers for COVID19

o    Much more
