More Than 20K Meals Donated to Healthcare Workers Through TravCon Meals for Meds Campaign
by BWW News Desk - June 09, 2020
Medical professionals and their units could request their meals through the website, and anyone could become a Pledged Partner for any number of meals, or dollar amount. Final orders were completed and fulfilled Friday, June 5, totaling over 20,000 donated meals over a span of two months. 'We are thrilled with the level of participation and excitement around the Meals For Meds campaign,' said Cynthia Kinnas, Board Member at TravCon. 'With the help of 43 Pledged Partners, including Fusion Medical Staffing, TextUs, OneStaff, Koley Jessen and EmployStream, we were able to support hundreds of restaurants nationwide during an economic crisis, and feed thousands of healthcare workers on the front-lines.' Kinnas believes the campaign success was largely due to businesses and local communities coming together to share resources and show their support during the initial outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. 'The Meals For Meds mission aligned so well with our business mission, to make the lives better of everyone that we touch. At Fusion, this message is woven into everything that we do. We feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to partner with Cynthia at TravCon to help make a positive impact on those who are not able to stay home, and are tirelessly caring for the ill,' said Tara Sprakel, Chief Marketing Officer at Fusion Medical Staffing. 'Together, not only were we able to support more than 20,000 healthcare workers, but Meals For Meds also encouraged others to pay it forward. No one person is unaffected by the coronavirus or the shift in daily routines - we're not out of the weeds, but we are seeing and hearing an increase of positive messages and mindsets from our travelers who are working the front-lines,' stated Sprakel.

TEALEAVES' The Garden of Secrets Project Wins Honorable Mention in Fast Company 2020 World Changing Ideas Awards
by BWW News Desk - May 11, 2020
Today, master tea blender TEALEAVES announces its selection by Fast Company as an Honoree in their 2020 World Changing Ideas Awards in two categories: Education and Creativity. The project, The Garden of Secrets, is a philanthropic exploration between TEALEAVES, the University of British Columbia Botanical Garden and 18 other non-governmental institutions, universities, and foundations. Created with a mission to empower environmental stewardship through impactful design, The Garden of Secrets is an open source learning library featuring plants - the planet's earliest designers - as the teacher. Through the exploration, visitors unearth the 'idea seed bank': a multi-media library comprised of expert insights and case studies providing inspiration for your own world changing idea, and the resources to begin enacting meaningful change through sustainable design. Now in its fourth year, Fast Company's World Changing Ideas Awards honor the businesses, policies, projects and concepts that are actively engaged and deeply committed to flattening the curve when it comes to the climate crisis, social injustice, or economic inequality. As evidenced by the current global landscape of public health, the interconnectivity across all corners of the world is at a height never seen before. Advocating for biodiversity through biomimicry, The Garden of Secrets showcases botanical gardens as essential resources in the changing outlook of our modern ecosystems. 'We want to help create a movement and demonstrate that any organization - whether it be from tea to technology - can adopt biomimetic methods to play their part to make the world more sustainable. Biomimicry offers a means to solve problems baked into the solution, instead of serving as a band-aid. Our unified goal is to blend our mutual love for plants and botanicals with biomimetic design to attract newfound interest in the plants that we take for granted,' says TEALEAVES CEO, Lana Sutherland. This project is brought to life with the The Garden of Secrets Documentary, a refreshingly optimistic outlook aimed to inspire solutions to the climate crisis in this divisive time. The film features leading botanists, biologists, architects, activists and designers, recounting brief anthologies of brilliant inventions brought to life through plant-based biomimicry - be it solutions for water conservation in drought, or solar sails for interplanetary travel. Tackling the complex challenges facing the modern world, The Garden of Secrets demonstrates how the wonders of nature - perfected through millions of years of evolutionary trial and error - lend themselves to inspire brilliant, world changing, solutions. 'As a David amongst Goliaths, we are proof that even a small company can make a big difference.' - Lana Sutherland, TEALEAVES Co-Founder and CEO The 2020 awards feature entries from across the globe, from Vancouver to Singapore to Tel Aviv. A panel of eminent judges selected winners and finalists from a pool of more than 3,000 entries across transportation, education, food, politics, technology, and more. TEALEAVES is spotlighted alongside the other recipients of the 2020 World Changing Ideas awards in the May/June issue of Fast Company magazine, which will be on newsstands May 5. About the World Changing Ideas Awards World Changing Ideas is one of Fast Company's major annual awards programs and is focused on social good, seeking to elevate finished products and brave concepts that make the world better. A panel of judges from across sectors choose winners, finalists, and honorable mentions based on feasibility and the potential for impact. With a goal of awarding ingenuity and fostering innovation, Fast Company draws attention to ideas with great potential and helps them expand their reach to inspire more people to start working on solving the problems that affect us all. About TEALEAVES Established in 1994, TEALEAVES is one of the very few tea blenders in the world, known for crafting the highest quality teas in small batches by hand. TEALEAVES strives for perfection, driven by the never-ending quest to make the perfect cup of tea. With the philosophy of inspiring creativity and connections through the art of blending, TEALEAVES has gripped the hearts and minds of five-star hotels and Michelin Star chefs, worldwide, as their tea brand of choice for over two decades. With a unified goal of inspiring connections and creativity, TEALEAVES blends techniques, stories, people, companies and ideas to understand and tackle global issues.
