Eventually, she and her husband, Dr. Chris Dold, a veterinarian and SeaWorld Orlando’s chief zoological officer, made the decision to become volunteer puppy raisers and wanted to share the Community experience with their children. It was an opportunity to give back to their community as a family. “This means the world to us,” says Erika. “To teach our kids kindness, selflessness and learning how to make a difference in the lives of those with disabilities.” The Dolds raised Canine Companions puppy Natalia, who was matched as a hearing dog with Scott of Charlotte, NC. Expertly trained in nearly 40 commands, Natalia is able to alert Scott to fire alarms, cell phones, voices and more. The effort of the Dold family is allowing Scott to live a more independent and full life. “Natalia makes me “Natalia makes me feel confident, and my life has changed since I was matched with her.

(October 1, 2014) – Today Mars Petcare officially opened the doors of its new, state-of-the-art, Gold-LEED certified $110 million Global Innovation Center in Thompson’s Station, Tenn. The new campus, designed to help the company Make a Better World for Pets™ through pet food innovations, is the third Mars Petcare innovation center and first in the United States. It will serve as the global center of excellence for the company’s portfolio, which includes five billion dollar brands: PEDIGREE®, WHISKAS®, ROYAL CANIN®, BANFIELD® and IAMS®. The new center joins forces with similar Mars Petcare Global Innovation Centers located in Verden, Germany and Aimargues, France, and will focus on dry cat and dog food in both the natural and mainstream pet food categories. “Everything about this campus is dedicated to helping pets live longer and happier lives,” said Larry Allgaier, president of Mars Petcare North America. “Mars has been doing business in Tennessee for the past 35 years, employing nearly 1,700 Associates across our Petcare, Chocolate and Wrigley business segments. Our $110 million Global Innovation Center marks the sixth Mars site in Tennessee and will employ more than 140 Associates.” The location in Thompson’s Station was selected in part because of a great working relationship with the state of Tennessee, which is already home to Mars facilities in Cleveland, Chattanooga, Lebanon and Franklin (two locations).

  • Jacksonville's Gardner Minshew Voted Snickers
    JACKSONVILLE’S GARDNER MINSHEW VOTED SNICKERS® ‘HUNGRIEST PLAYER OF THE YEAR’ Quarterback Edges Out 12 Players with Exceptional On- and Off-Field Performance This Season HACKETTSTOWN, NJ, January 28, 2020 – Today, ahead of Super Bowl LIV, SNICKERS® announced Gardner Minshew as the brand’s ‘Hungriest Player of the Year.’ The ‘Hungriest Player’ program spanned 13 weeks of the National Football League’s (NFL’s) 100th season, and rewarded players who showed hunger for more on and off the field. Each week, a different player was passed a jewel-encrusted chain featuring the iconic “S” SNICKERS logo as a testament to their exceptional performance. Minshew was awarded the chain during the fourth week of the regular season after leading his team to a fourth-quarter comeback win. Minshew edged out 12 other chain recipients after SNICKERS fans were invited to weigh in with their vote for which ‘Hungriest Player’ rose above the rest. As a rookie quarterback, he has already begun to make a name for himself, generating the highest passer rating (91.2) among all nine rookie quarterbacks who started at least one game this season, and leading Jacksonville in all six of their wins. His charitable record with men’s health charity, Movember provided all the more reason to award him the chain. “Throughout the season, SNICKERS awarded the chain to players who demonstrated their hunger for more with a huge game or play on the field,” said Josh Olken, Brand Director, SNICKERS. “As we watched Gardner Minshew embody this spirit throughout the season, we agree with our fans and can’t think of anyone more fitting to be named as the Hungriest Player of the Year.” As the ‘Hungriest Player of the Year,’ Minshew was awarded the one-of-a-kind SNICKERS chain that is valued at over $75,000.
