#CharitablePeachy #NewYorkNotes Sing for Hope Welcomes Arts & Health Pioneer Dr. Jill Sonke to Board

CAMILLE ZAMORA IS A MOVER AND SHAKER

Appointment reflects organization's continued leadership at the intersection of the arts, public health, and community wellbeing

As healthcare systems, governments, and communities increasingly recognize the role of the arts in improving health and wellbeing, Sing for Hope today announced the appointment of Dr. Jill Sonke to its Board.

An internationally respected leader in arts and health, Dr. Sonke has spent more than two decades advancing research, policy, education, and practice at the intersection of creativity and wellbeing. She is a U.S. Cultural Policy Fellow with Stanford University serving in an appointment at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; is Director of Research Initiatives and Research Professor in the Center for Arts in Medicine at the University of Florida; and co-directs the EpiArts Lab, a National Endowment for the Arts Research Lab in partnership with University College London.

Her appointment comes as Sing for Hope celebrates its 25th anniversary and continues to expand its work demonstrating how the arts can strengthen health, foster belonging, and improve quality of life.

"Jill has helped shape the field of arts and health through decades of scholarship, collaboration, and leadership," said Monica Yunus, Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director of Sing for Hope. "She brings invaluable expertise to our Board as we deepen our work across healthcare, education, research, and community wellbeing."

Dr. Sonke is recognized for helping advance arts and health as an evidence-based field, building collaborations among healthcare systems, artists, researchers, policymakers, and community organizations while contributing to the growing body of research demonstrating the measurable impact of creativity on physical, mental, and social wellbeing.

"I have long admired Sing for Hope's commitment to bringing the arts directly into the places where people live, learn, heal, and work," said Dr. Jill Sonke. "Having first connected with the organization nearly a decade ago at a National Organization for Arts in Health gathering and later advising Sing for Hope during its partnership with the New York State Department of Health and the Javits Center to bring live music to COVID-19 vaccination centers, I have seen firsthand Sing for Hope's ability to make incredible impacts. I'm deeply honored to join the Board and look forward to helping expand Sing for Hope's impact in communities around the world."

Over the past twenty-five years, Sing for Hope has grown into a leading arts and wellbeing organization, today reaching over 57 million people annually through public art, arts in healthcare, arts education, community wellbeing, and creative placemaking initiatives. Its flagship Sing for Hope Pianos program has transformed public spaces around the world, while its public health initiatives bring artists into hospitals, veterans' programs, schools, community health settings, and other spaces where creativity can strengthen resilience, connection, and wellbeing.

Today, Sing for Hope collaborates with partners including NYC Health + Hospitals, Moynihan Train Hall, Union Station in Washington, D.C., and Shukhee, Bangladesh's comprehensive digital healthcare platform serving more than five million patients, where the organizations have launched an arts-informed mental health initiative. This work is further strengthened through Sing for Hope's longstanding partnership with the International Foundation for Arts and Culture (IFAC), led by Global Patron Dr. Haruhisa Handa, whose decade-long philanthropic support has helped expand the organization's arts and health initiatives.

Dr. Sonke joins a Sing for Hope Board that includes leaders advancing the arts and health movement in complementary ways, including Jon Batiste, whose recent collaboration with Dr. Joanne Loewy and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai explores the role of "social music" in improving health and wellbeing, and Renée Fleming, whose bestselling book Music and Mind: Harnessing the Arts for Health and Wellness has helped bring the science of music and health to broader public audiences.

"For twenty-five years, Sing for Hope has believed that creativity belongs wherever people seek healing, connection, and hope," said Camille Zamora, Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director of Sing for Hope. "Jill's appointment reflects the great momentum of the arts in health movement, and strengthens our commitment to ensuring that creativity is recognized as an essential resource for healthier communities."

Dr. Haruhisa Handa, Chairman of the International Foundation for Arts and Culture and Sing for Hope Global Patron, reflected on the broader significance of arts in health, the Sing for Hope board's evolution, and the organization's ongoing work.

"Music and the arts have the power to transform human hearts and minds," said Dr. Handa. "Sing for Hope continues to demonstrate how creativity can enrich lives and strengthen communities every day."

Our creative programs bring hope, healing, and connection to millions of people in hospitals, schools, care facilities, and public spaces worldwide.

#SportyPeachy #RemarkableRealEstate World Cup Drives 60% Surge in Short-Term Rental Income in U.S. Host Cities

Baselane reports STR operators earned up to 13 times their typical monthly income in high-demand host markets

The 2026 FIFA World Cup delivered a significant boost to short-term rental (STR) owners in U.S. host markets, according to new customer data from Baselane, the leading banking and bookkeeping platform for real estate investors.

Income in host markets where short-term renting is broadly permitted increased 421% compared with June 2025. Markets with moderate restrictions increased 75%, while highly regulated markets, including New York, Los Angeles, and Boston, increased 18%.Share

Among the same Baselane STR hosts active in both June 2025 and June 2026, rental income across 11 U.S. host markets increased 60% year over year. By comparison, income among the same group of hosts in non-host markets grew 11%.

Baselane customers in host markets saw a 79% increase in short-term rental payouts from May to June 2026, exceeding month-over-month growth in non-host markets and the seasonal increase recorded during the same period last year.

“The World Cup created a meaningful revenue opportunity for short-term rental owners, but the impact varies dramatically by city,” said Mathias Korder, CEO at Baselane. “The strongest gains are concentrated in markets where visitor demand is high and short-term rental activity is more broadly permitted, while highly regulated cities are seeing a much smaller lift.”

Miami, Kansas City, and Dallas-Fort Worth post the largest increases

In a separate analysis of short-term rental income by market, Baselane found considerable differences among World Cup host cities between May and June 2026 compared to the same period in 2025:Miami: 709%+

Kansas City: 607%+

Dallas-Fort Worth: 587%+

Atlanta: 219%+

Houston: 214%+

San Francisco Bay Area: 156%+

Seattle: 69%+

Philadelphia: 68%+

Boston: 45%+

New York/New Jersey: 23%+

Los Angeles: 12%+

Several Baselane customers experienced especially pronounced increases during the tournament window. The increase was driven by stronger short-term rental demand during the tournament period, with both revenue and booking activity climbing above typical levels.Atlanta: The owner of a single rental property generated approximately $16,000 in four weeks, compared with a typical monthly income of roughly $1,200.

Kansas City: An owner with three local properties generated approximately $13,900 during the tournament period, about seven times the property owner’s normal monthly pace.

Dallas-Fort Worth: An operator with nine properties, including seven in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, generated approximately $25,000 during the tournament window, compared with roughly $11,000 in a typical month.

Seattle: A professional operator with 23 units, including 14 in Seattle, generated approximately $216,000 in four weeks, compared with approximately $81,000 in a typical month.

Local short-term rental rules shape who benefits

Baselane’s analysis also indicates that local regulation may influence how much of the World Cup-related demand property owners can capture.

Short-term rental income in host markets where short-term renting is broadly permitted increased 421% compared with June 2025. Markets with moderate restrictions increased 75%, while highly regulated markets, including New York, Los Angeles, and Boston, increased 18%.

The results suggest that visitor demand alone does not determine the financial impact of a major event. The availability of legal STR inventory can affect how broadly the economic opportunity reaches local property owners.

“Major events like the World Cup can create a significant revenue opportunity for short-term rental owners, but local market conditions determine how much of that demand they can actually capture,” said Mathias Korder, CEO at Baselane. “That makes financial visibility critical. Owners need to understand not just that revenue increased, but where the gains came from, how costs changed, and whether the lift reflects a one-time event or a longer-term investment opportunity.”

Methodology

Baselane analyzed customer payout transactions from short-term rental and property management platforms, including Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Expedia, Guesty, Hospitable, Lodgify, and Cloudbeds.

Year-over-year growth figures are based on income categorized as short-term rent by Baselane customers who were active during both comparison periods. The findings reflect activity among Baselane customers and should not be interpreted as estimates for the entire U.S. rental market.

About Baselane

Baselane is the leading real estate banking platform for multi-property investors, with integrated bookkeeping, tax reporting, and rent collection. Baselane serves and is trusted by more than 50,000 independent real estate investors who process over $3.7 billion annually through the platform.

Historic 1972 Ducati 750 Imola Racer Headlines Rare Ducati Offerings at Mecum Monterey 2026

Mecum Auctions will hold its annual Monterey, California, auction this Aug. 13-15 at Del Monte Golf Course, where it will present an extremely rare pair of historic Ducati motorcycles including a 1972 Ducati 750 Imola Racer. Held during the prestigious Monterey Car Week, the Mecum Monterey auction will mark the first time in history that a 1972 Imola 200 racer of this magnitude is offered for public sale. The second half of this impressive Ducati offering is a highly original two-owner 1974 Ducati 750SS Green Frame. Both motorcycles are set to cross the block on Saturday, Aug. 15, 2026.

One of just eight examples produced and one of seven transported by Ducati to the historic 1972 Imola 200-mile race, the Imola racer stands as a direct connection to a defining moment in the celebrated marque’s racing heritage. According to respected Ducati historian Ian Falloon, this example is among the most authentic in existence and believed to be the counterpart of the winning Paul Smart motorcycle now preserved in the Ducati Museum in Bologna, Italy.

Falloon’s research confirms the motorcycle’s factory significance, noting it as one of the only two bikes prepared for Smart’s 1972 Imola campaign. Today, it retains an exceptional level of originality, including its original factory bodywork, fairing, fuel tank, seat and tail section. It is one of only three known examples retaining its original engine cases, and it remains unaltered—never crashed and never modified.

Accompanying the Imola is a 1974 Ducati 750SS Green Frame that exists as one of just 401 built and one of only a handful believed to remain in such highly original, low-mileage condition. Also reviewed by Falloon, it is considered one of approximately 10 examples worldwide in this level of preservation, remaining unrestored and showing just two owners from new.

For more on the significance of these ultra-rare Ducati artifacts, read the full feature article at Mecum.com. The Ducati pairing will join an exceptional lineup of vehicles slated for the Mecum Monterey auction block, including an array of other significant collector motorcycles and approximately 600 classic and collector cars. For more information on Mecum Monterey 2026 and all other scheduled Mecum events, visit the website or call (262) 275-5050. Mecum’s website is updated daily with the latest consignments and includes detailed descriptions and photographs of the vehicles offered, as well as a detailed auction and event schedule.

#CruisingPeachy #WestCoastPeachy Monterey Car Week & Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Returns August 7-16, 2026

Monterey County is the global epicenter of car culture during the ten days of automotive events throughout the destination including the 75th Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance

Monterey Car Week & Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the world-renowned celebration of automotive excellence set against California's Central Coast, returns August 7–16, 2026, with more than 35 events including both new celebrations and returning favorites across Monterey County, building toward the 75th Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on August 16. The 10-day Car Week celebration draws more than 100,000 visitors countywide each year, with estimated visitor spending exceeding $130 million supporting local hotels and hospitality businesses, employment and more than 100 local charities that depend on millions of dollars generated from these events.

New and noteworthy in 2026

Piazza Motor Nights debuts a new opening night experience at the new Courtyard by Marriott in Sand City, offering an elegant evening of automotive culture, cocktails, music and curated experiences.

Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion debuts its first-ever JDM Car Show at Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca, honoring Japanese motorsports heritage.

All Roads Lead to Asilomar expands with three new events: Electric Coast, Night Rider and Luau in the Meadow, alongside the return of Woodies in the Woods.

Apex Motorcar Portraits, a new female-led bespoke portrait studio, debuts in Pacific Grove, featuring the work of published automotive photographer Alex Szcudlo.

An Eve on the Green, A Motoring Gala by The Peninsula debuts at The Quail, commemorating the 100th anniversary of Route 66 with rare collector cars, Michelin-starred dining and a headline country music performance.

Exotics on Broadway adds a new, optional-ticketed Vendor & Hyper Car Pavilion on Del Monte Avenue.

Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance celebrates its 75th with Pebble Beach Golf Links opening its 3rd fairway for the first time during Concours week for a special display curated by Automobili Lamborghini celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Lamborghini Miura, which is expected to be the largest gathering of Miuras ever assembled.

"Monterey Car Week is the global epicenter of car culture, generating economic vitality and community prosperity that reach far beyond the events themselves," said Rob O'Keefe, president and CEO of See Monterey. "No two Car Weeks are ever the same, and this year's fresh crop of new experiences is no exception. As we welcome visitors from around the world, we're urging everyone to travel the Right Path with us and plan ahead, respect our communities, our workforce and the environment that make this destination special."

Car Week's impact extends well beyond economics: more than 100 local charities benefit from event proceeds each year, and the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance alone has raised more than $45 million for charity since 1950, including a record $4 million in 2025. Last year also saw the one-of-one 2025 Ferrari Daytona SP3 'Tailor Made' sell for $26 million at RM Sotheby's, benefiting the Ferrari Foundation.

Visitors and residents can also enjoy more than 15 free events countywide, from the whimsical Concours d'Lemons to the classic car parade at the Pebble Beach Tour d'Elegance and the Pacific Grove Rotary Concours Auto Rally. A full list of free events, plus family-friendly itineraries, is available at SeeMonterey.com.

"Safe, responsible and respectful behavior is an absolute must during Monterey Car Week," added O'Keefe. "Travelers and residents alike deserve an experience that is exciting, memorable and safe. We ask visitors to respect the rules of the road, the communities they visit and one another so that everyone can enjoy Monterey Car Week at its very best."

SeeMonterey.com remains the go-to resource for Monterey Car Week, newly refreshed with a cleaner, mobile-first design, a custom interactive events map and a free AI itinerary planner now guided by a new mascot, Otto the Otter.

Extending the celebration of America's 250th birthday with even more racing and strategy, INDYCAR officials today announced that the Freedom 250 Grand Prix will expand from 125 laps to 147 laps to create a true 250-mile race in just a few weeks on the streets of the nation's capital.

The extended lap count will add nearly 18 percent more NTT INDYCAR SERIES racing action to the once-in-a-lifetime race, while introducing a new strategic challenge for teams and drivers. The now 250-mile race is expected to require an additional pit stop compared to the original race distance, creating more opportunities for varying fuel strategies, decisions on management for each car’s Firestone racing tires and passing opportunities throughout the talented INDYCAR field.

"The additional laps will create even more opportunities for strategy, on-track action and late-race drama while giving our fans extra value and even more opportunities to enjoy this historic event."

The added race distance also provides additional live content for FOX, INDYCAR's exclusive television partner, which will broadcast the Freedom 250 Grand Prix nationally from Washington, D.C. The 250-mile length will extend the race broadcast window, providing additional storytelling opportunities and strategies for FOX to chronicle throughout the course of the afternoon. FOX has already announced an extended Freedom 250 Grand Prix pre-race show, with coverage from Washington D.C. scheduled to begin at 11:30 am ET on Sunday, Aug. 23 and the green flag set to wave shortly after 1:00 pm ET.

Set against the backdrop of iconic American landmarks, the Freedom 250 Grand Prix will mark the first-ever NTT INDYCAR SERIES race held on the streets of Washington, D.C. The free, two-day motorsports festival will serve as a centerpiece of the nation's semiquincentennial celebration, bringing world-class racing to the heart of the nation's capital. The 1.7-mile, seven-turn circuit will feature a sweeping run down Pennsylvania Avenue and past several of Washington's most recognizable historic sites.

Built to provide fashion designers the capital, technology, and cultural access to grow without sacrificing artistry or ownership; committed to increasing the surface area of opportunity for designers

Will Debut AI-Enabled Contextual Commerce and "Click-To-Buy" Runway Integration at New York Fashion Week Show at Grand Central Station

Mover and Shaker Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin, first featured in April 2009, Founder and CEO of House of Vanderbilt, the first official family office of the Vanderbilt family, and Co-Founder of SohoMuse, and Michaela Seewald, Founder & CEO of V24 Media and media entrepreneur, launched Vanderbilt & Seewald Global Studio, the first combined fashion investment studio, media distribution, and technology platform. Vanderbilt & Seewald combines investment, experiential commerce channels (e.g. Click-To-Buy), an elite network, and media amplification to enable designers to grow from inspiration to revenue.

Cofounders of Vanderbilt & Seewald Global Studio Michaela Seewald and Mover and Shaker Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin, first featured in April 2009

Consuelo was again highlighted in our 10,000th post, and interviewed again in 2011 in Red Carpet Regulars. Find a Way was featured in 2012. She was last featured in 2024 in Mover and Shaker Picture of the Week.

Vanderbilt & Seewald partners with new designers seeking to scale, and those with a clear creative vision, an established brand, existing customer demand, media visibility, and an operational foundation capable of supporting scale. Whether emerging talents gaining momentum or established designers seeking broader market reach, Vanderbilt & Seewald provides capital, strategic guidance, commerce infrastructure, and global visibility to help expand distribution, strengthen brand equity, and unlock new growth opportunities. The platform is particularly suited for designers interested in collaborative partnership models, including advisory, equity, and co-investment structures.

Vanderbilt & Seewald will make its debut during New York Fashion Week at a first-of-its-kind fashion event at Grand Central Station on September 15, 2026, marking the first time a Vanderbilt has hosted a runway show at the iconic terminal her ancestors built. Featuring the 2027 lines from Vanderbilt & Seewald's first group of designers, including: Dustin Glickman of DSTN, a Stockholm-based fashion brand known for its "dark cowboy" aesthetic that blends and balances artistic storytelling with exceptional craftsmanship. The brand headlined Stockholm Fashion Week earlier this year.

Lorena Saravia, one of Mexico's most influential contemporary designers, recognized for transforming Mexican craftsmanship, feminine strength, and modern luxury into a globally respected fashion brand that has appeared in H&M.

Nabil Hayari of Hayari Paris, an internationally acclaimed Parisian couturier whose elegant, made-to-measure creations have graced the world's most prestigious red carpets, earning him recognition as one of the leading ambassadors of modern French haute couture.

Vanderbilt & Seewald Global Studio will use its proprietary technology, including AI-enabled commerce, Click-To-Buy runway integration, and livestream shopping, to turn the runway into a platform for designer-first shopping that connects directly with shoppers. Powered by SohoMuse's creator social network, the platform is built to ensure designers retain attribution, data ownership, and direct relationships with their customers.

"Designers have become the product. Marginalized and underrepresented creators pay the highest price in a system built to extract value, rather than invest in and empower their growth, on their terms," said Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin, Co-Founder, Vanderbilt & Seewald Global Studio. "Vanderbilt & Seewald Global Studio is built to provide designers with the representation and access they need to own their narrative, and the technology to stand on a runway while watching their collection sell in real-time to the person in the front row and the one watching from their phone in London."

Most fashion designer platforms offer either visibility, production, or introductions. Vanderbilt & Seewald is the only platform that integrates all three for designers, operating at the intersection of cultural relevance, commercial execution, and strategic capital and network access. This is not a seasonal partnership; it's an evergreen platform for enablement, designed to move designers from recognition to scale, permanently.

A New Infrastructure for Fashion Designers

Vanderbilt & Seewald Global Studio partners with a select group of designers to transform creative excellence into global brand presence and commercial success. The platform operates across visibility, distribution, and production to deliver outcomes that few traditional agencies, accelerators, or commerce platforms can. Through editorial positioning, global runway opportunities, direct-to-consumer commerce infrastructure, and sustained media amplification, Vanderbilt & Seewald provides designers with the tools, relationships, and market access they need to accelerate growth while preserving creative ownership.

Vanderbilt & Seewald Global Studio backs that promise by providing a robust program to designers. Each will receive direct access to investors and family offices, Vogue-level media reach, global runway events, and a proprietary commerce platform that converts live fashion moments into immediate transactions. The program will select designers at every stage, from emerging talent to established names looking to scale globally.

Designers who join Vanderbilt & Seewald Global Studio will retain full ownership of their creative vision, consumer relationships, and data. Vanderbilt & Seewald actively represents each designer throughout the program, managing the connections, commerce infrastructure, and media amplification.

"Every designer has a story worth telling. Vanderbilt & Seewald Global Studio exists to elevate that narrative without diluting their creative intent, when and where it will be the most impactful," said Michaela Seewald, Co-Founder, Vanderbilt & Seewald Global Studio. "We provide the platform, visibility, and strategic infrastructure that enable exceptional designers to move from emerging talent to global influence, building brands that scale internationally, and in particular into the United States, while remaining authentic to the vision that made them distinctive in the first place."

Live Fashion Events Become Commerce Channels

Vanderbilt & Seewald Global Studio's proprietary commerce technology transforms live fashion moments into direct-to-consumer sales opportunities, from New York, London, and Paris Fashion Weeks to Hamptons polo outings, Vogue integrations, and curated luxury gatherings. The platform's live shopping technology gives designers "Click-To-Buy" capability directly from the runway while providing real-time product detail viewing for shoppers and a reporting dashboard that tracks audience engagement and sales performance.

Every Vanderbilt & Seewald Global Studio event will reach hundreds of VIPs, buyers, editors, stylists, and creators in person, with nearly 25,000 additional viewers anticipated across Instagram, YouTube, and partner livestream channels. Each experience will be built around the designer, featuring Designer Discovery Galleries, "People's Choice Look" audience voting, and a dedicated content studio capturing behind-the-scenes footage, designer interviews, and runway edits for social and media distribution.

The Technology of SohoMuse Powers Vanderbilt & Seewald Global Studio's Designers

SohoMuse's creator technology platform, launched in 2019, will power Vanderbilt & Seewald Global Studio's network of designer support, offering them instant access to a talent marketplace, portfolio platform, virtual storefronts, and a secure collaboration ecosystem.

Vanderbilt & Seewald-supported designers are showcased directly to the SohoMuse community, adding an immediate audience and discovery channel on top of the firm's financial and growth enablement. SohoMuse's creative showcases also enable direct-to-consumer commerce integrations and links to each designer's storefront. A secure, IP-protected ecosystem ensures designers remain attributed and connected to their creative work at every touchpoint.

Media Amplification That Compounds Into Credibility

Vanderbilt & Seewald Global Studio prepares its designers for the public sphere, creating visibility across a variety of media outlets, enhanced by Michaela Seewald's platforms and broad partner media networks. Every launch, collection, and commerce moment is supported by editorial reach designed to build long-term brand legitimacy.

Vanderbilt & Seewald Global Studio provides access to strategic communications and public relations support for all of its designers through a partnership with Impact Partners. Designers will receive press and media relations, press release distribution, branded content development, message training and more, to help tell and amplify their unique stories.

Vanderbilt & Seewald Global Studio is accepting applications from designers ready to take their creative vision global. Additional information about Vanderbilt & Seewald Global Studio, its mission to empower independent designers, and its live commerce platform can be found at https://www.vsglobalstudio.com/.
