Florida Child in Need of Extremely Rare Blood- OneBlood Leading Worldwide Search to Locate Donors 12/3/2018 8:00 AM - 12/3/2119

Wed, 05 Dec 2018 14:19:23 GMT

(Orlando, Florida December 3, 2018) OneBlood, the local not-for-profit blood center serving Florida and other parts of the southeast, is leading a worldwide search to find some of the rarest blood in the world. It’s needed to help save two-year-old Zainab, a South Florida girl who is battling neuroblastoma, a very aggressive form of cancer. Zainab’s blood is extremely rare because she is missing a common antigen that most people carry on their red blood cells. The antigen is called “Indian B” (Inb). For a person to be a possible match for Zainab, they must also be missing the Indian B antigen, or the little girl's body will reject the blood. Locating people who are missing the Indian B antigen comes down to genetics. • Statistically, the only people who are likely to be a match for Zainab are people of Pakistani, Indian or Iranian descent. Of these populations, less than 4% of the people are actually missing the Indian B antigen. To be a match for Zainab a donor must meet the following criteria: • Must be exclusively Pakistani, Indian or Iranian descent – meaning the donor’s birth parents are both 100% Pakistani, Indian or Iranian • Must be blood type “O” or “A” • All donations for Zainab must be coordinated with OneBlood in advance to ensure the additional compatibility testing is performed. Visit https://www.oneblood.org/zainab/ for donation information. OneBlood is working closely with other blood centers and the American Rare Donor Program (ARDP), an organization that searches the world for rare blood donors. So far, three matching donors have been located, including a donor that ARDP located in the United Kingdom, near London. It’s the first time OneBlood has ever received an international donor for a local patient. The other two matching donors are from the United States. While it’s promising the three donors have been located, additional donors are needed. Zainab will need blood transfusions for the foreseeable future. To support her long-term blood needs, the search is on to find at least seven to ten compatible donors. OneBlood is sharing Zainab’s story in the hopes more people who meet the specific donor criteria will come forward to donate for the little girl. OneBlood is conducting all compatibility testing of potential donors. So far, more than 1,000 local donations, as well as donations from other parts of the country have been tested and no additional matches have been identified. Media Tool Kit Available • To view OneBlood’s online show about the search for Zainab’s donors, and for details on how to donate and/or host a blood drive for Zainab, please visit https://www.oneblood.org/zainab/. • A media tool kit with video and interviews is available by visiting https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4yrbbtu13mdglv6/AADToakWh9ixj9e4rBKiXYjca?dl=0. ## OneBlood is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) community asset responsible for providing safe, available and affordable blood to more than 200 hospital partners and their patients throughout most of Florida, parts of Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina. Generally healthy people age 16 or older who weigh at least 110 pounds can donate blood. To learn more about OneBlood visit www.oneblood.org.

CLOSED: Cape Coral Farmers' Market - Club Square 10/1/2022

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 23:05:21 GMT

THE FARMERS MARKET WILL BE CLOSED THIS SATURDAY. PLEASE CHECK BACK FOR WHEN THE MARKET WILL REOPEN

The Cape Coral Farmers Market has been a favorite Saturday morning destination for 26 years. Over the years, we have grown to over 125 vendors. We are confident that we have all the delicious foods and local crafts that you love to shop for.

Fresh, local & healthy fruits and veggies, including Certified Organic produce, are the core of the market along with homemade and handmade foods and crafts. Fresh baked breads & pastries, homemade pickles, jams & jellies, Gulf fresh seafood, fresh meats, homemade pet treats, handcrafted soaps, essential oils, local honey, made-on-site guacamole, fresh, cut flowers, native plants & trees are just some of the fantastic products available.

Since shopping and eating seem to go so well together, the market has endless options. A food truck court and tent vendors offer BBQ, Crepes, Empanadas, Mexican food, German street food and healthy options like Kombucha, health smoothies, Acai bowls and salads.

Each season we do our best to give back to the community by offering spaces for non-profits, schools and community groups. Another way we give back is by offering the ability for our EBT/SNAP customers to shop for healthy and affordable food options. We are proud to say that 7 years ago, we were the first market in Lee County to offer ease of shopping for our neighbors.

We are also proud that we were the first market in Lee County to offer Fresh Access Bucks to our EBT/SNAP customers. This program gives $40.00 extra to purchase Florida grown fruits & veggies at the market. A healthy community is a great outcome.

The market can also be very entertaining with great musicians perform during the season.

We hope that you choose to make the Cape Coral Farmers Market your Saturday Morning Destination!

Trace Adkins | The Way I Wanna Go Tour 10/14/2022 8:00 PM - 10/14/2022 9:30 PM

Mon, 11 Jul 2022 13:47:16 GMT

Nashville icon Trace Adkins will perform live in concert at Seminole Casino Hotel Immokalee on Friday, Oct. 14 as part of his “The Way I Wanna Go Tour.” The concert will begin at 8 p.m. with doors opening at 7 p.m. Advance tickets are on sale now for $99 and are available by phone from Ticketmaster at 1-800-653-8000 or online at www.moreinparadise.com. Attendees must be 21 years of age.

Adkins is 25 years into a career filled with bold authenticity and chart-topping smashes, fusing a booming baritone and commanding stage presence with sounds from all across the Country spectrum. Since his debut in 1996, the larger-than-life star has sold over 11 million albums and charted more than 37 singles, sending 14 into Billboard’s Top 10. He’s also racked up two billion streams and boasts a reputation for fiery live performance – not to mention his multiple Grammy nominations, awards from the ACM and CMT, and a willingness to think outside the box.

Now, with his 13th studio album, “The Way I Wanna Go,” 25 all-new tracks celebrate the 25th anniversary of his “Dreamin’ Out Loud” debut. Steeped in the cultural melting-pot of his Louisiana upbringing, “The Way I Wanna Go” finds Adkins leaning in to a lone-wolf spirit, and continuing down the road which made him a shapeshifting member of the Grand Ole Opry.

The new album touches on all aspects of Adkins’ hit-making career – from profound traditional balladry to clever-Country party anthems. With a sound that ranges from timeless twang to beat-driven bravado, the album brings a who’s who of unpredictable guests along for the ride. All-star collaborators include Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Stevie Wonder on harmonica, Snoop Dogg, Pitbull, Keb’ Mo’ and Melissa Etheridge. And Adkins’ creative craftsmanship is sharper than ever.

Fri, 02 Sep 2022 09:34:06 GMT

If you have been thinking about planting some vegetables, or maybe creating your own food forest, fall is the time to start planting! When the Edison family began wintering in Fort Myers in 1885, Mr. Edison planned extensive truck gardens with various fruits that the family could enjoy during their time at Seminole Lodge. Today, Edison Ford horticulturists continue the Edison’s tradition by growing edibles from seed that are not treated with any pesticides, sold in the Garden Shoppe. Advance registration is required and limited to 25 participants. The classes are held in a climate-controlled and accessible classroom at the Fort Myers-Lee County Garden Council and Berne Davis Gardens, located across the street from the Edison Ford parking lot. At the conclusion of each class, each participant will receive a 20% discount coupon for plant purchases in the Garden Shoppe. Register online at edisonford.org.

Smash Mouth 10/29/2022 9:00 PM - 10/29/2022 10:30 AM

Mon, 11 Jul 2022 13:47:20 GMT

102.9 BOBfm & Mix 104.7 present multi-platinum group Smash Mouth with new front man Zach Goode performing at Seminole Casino Hotel Immokalee Saturday, Oct. 29 at 9 p.m. with gates opening at 7 p.m. Advance general admission tickets for this outdoor concert will go on sale May 20 for $29 and are available by phone at 1-800-514-ETIX or online at www.moreinparadise.com. VIP tickets also are available that include up-front reserved seating and two complimentary beer or wine drink tickets.

A look back at Smash Mouth’s formative years shows a band determined to make an impact from the beginning. Formed in late 1994, the band immediately began recording demos and showcasing in both San Jose and Hollywood. In June 1997, Smash Mouth was signed to Interscope Records when label brass caught wind of an unknown (and unsigned) band being added to monumentally influential L.A. radio station KROQ’s playlist after only one spin of their song “Walkin’ On The Sun.”

Smash Mouth’s major-label debut, “Fush Yu Mang,” went more than double platinum and set the stage for what most consider their masterpiece, 1999’s brilliant follow-up album “Astrolounge.” Boasting three top-10 hits (“All-Star,” “Then The Morning Comes,” “Can’t Get Enough Of You Baby”), sales for “Astrolounge” nearly doubled those for “Fush Yu Mang,” approaching nearly quadruple platinum status.

In 2022, Grammy-nominated Smash Mouth is introducing Goode as a perfect match for the band’s beach brand of high-energy alt-pop.
