Cancer Support Community Takes Over Music’s Most Famous Phone Number: (CSC) 867-5309

The global nonprofit organization Cancer Support Community (CSC), together with its network of CSC, Gilda’s Club locations, and healthcare partner sites, is taking over one of music's most unforgettable phone numbers. Effective today, anyone impacted by cancer can call CSC-867-5309 (272-867-5309) to receive immediate support, trusted information, and personalized guidance from trained specialists.

Sally Werner, CEO of Cancer Support Community, said: "Our Helpline receives over 20,000 calls annually from people seeking hope and connection during the times they need it most. By anchoring CSC-867-5309 into the public consciousness, we're ensuring that when someone is impacted by cancer, Cancer Support Community and Gilda’s Clubs are the first place they turn to.”

"Cancer can create a lot of uncertainties, so it's important people have a memorable number to turn to for support,” added Lisa E. Ireland, Executive Vice President, External Relations at Cancer Support Community. "The power of this campaign is its simplicity. In the 1980s, Tommy Tutone made ‘Jenny/867-5309’ impossible to forget. Now, we're channeling that same iconic number to help people remember that cancer support is just a call away.”

“When we recorded ‘Jenny/867-5309,’ none of us imagined that number would still be stuck in people’s heads decades later,” said Tommy Tutone lead singer Tommy Heath. “If that little piece of pop culture can now help someone remember Cancer Support Community’s and Gilda's Club's Helpline and connect them to real people, real community, and real support, that’s incredibly meaningful to us.”

Created in partnership with health marketing agency Klick Health, the CSC-867-5309 campaign strategically leverages cultural nostalgia and pop culture relevance to drive awareness and action.

“We’re proud to partner with Cancer Support Community to turn this iconic earworm into a direct line to care,” said Klick’s Chief Creative Officer Rich Levy. “Patients and caregivers told us they wished they’d found CSC’s Helpline sooner. By pairing it with a number everyone already knows, we’re helping shorten the distance from diagnosis to support.”

All calls to CSC-867-5309 are confidential, available at no cost, and answered by specially trained staff. To learn more about CSC, Gilda’s Club, and the Helpline, visit CSC8675309.com.

#CruisingPeachy #PatrioticPeachy America Under the Stars: Kampgrounds of America Invites Travelers to Experience Route 66's Historic 100-Year Legacy

As Route 66 marks its 100th anniversary, the historic "Mother Road" is once again at the center of American travel. New data from Kampgrounds of America (KOA) shows the centennial is helping fuel a resurgence in road trips driven by a desire for slower, more intentional exploration.


Nearly 30 KOA campgrounds are located within an hour of Historic Route 66, stretching from Illinois to California.

In a special preview of research soon-to-be released as part of KOA's annual Camping and Outdoor Hospitality Report, 43% of campers say they plan to take a heritage or Americana-focused road trip, with growing interest in longer, multi-stop journeys that prioritize small towns, historic landmarks and roadside attractions.

"The Route 66 centennial is the perfect moment to finally take that iconic road trip you've been dreaming about," said Diane Eichler, senior vice president of marketing at KOA. "This year, we're seeing a real shift toward slower, more intentional road trips. People aren't just driving Route 66, they're stopping, exploring and spending time in the small towns along the way. Camping makes that kind of immersive travel easy."

The heart of Route 66 isn't in the major attractions—it's in the local diners, quirky roadside spots and hidden gems that make every small town along the way unique. Camping along the highway creates the space to stop, explore and connect with the places and people that make each town special. The Route 66 Centennial Commission understands the important role that camping plays for travelers along the route.

Bill Thomas, Route 66 centennial commissioner and chair said, "The Route 66 Centennial is an invitation to rediscover the Mother Road. Camping along the route gives travelers a deeper connection to its landscapes, stories and small towns — and helps ensure Route 66 remains vibrant for the next 100 years."

Camping is playing a growing role in how travelers plan their Route 66 trips. Among those participating in the centennial, 41% plan to camp and 32% plan to glamp, reflecting demand for flexible, experience-driven ways to explore the route, according to KOA research.

The Route 66 centennial is sparking a renewed interest in multi-day road trips, immersive journeys that call for more than just a place to sleep. Travelers want comfortable, accessible bases with friendly service, where they can rest between small town adventures and exploring hidden gems. With nearly 30 KOA campgrounds from Illinois to California, strategically positioned within an hour of Route 66, campers can choose their own pace and rhythm, stopping when something catches their attention and moving on when they're ready. Whether traveling in an RV, pitching a tent or snuggling up in a cabin, KOA offers flexible accommodation options for every traveler.

KOA will release its 2026 Camping and Outdoor Hospitality Report on April 13. The report presents an in-depth analysis of the state of the outdoor hospitality industry and highlights trends in leisure travel and camping. Full findings will be available on KOA.com.

Harbour Investments CEO Nick Sondel Reaches $1M Milestone for Pediatric Cancer Research

Nick Sondel, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Harbour Investments, Inc., has reached a lifetime philanthropic milestone with a $1 million total donation to UW Health Kids Carbone Cancer Center, supporting critical research and care for children battling cancer.

Nick Sondel, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Harbour Investments, Inc., has reached a lifetime philanthropic milestone with a $1 million total donation to UW Health Kids Carbone Cancer Center, supporting critical research and care for children battling cancer.

The UW Health Kids Carbone Cancer Center is nationally recognized for its long-standing team of pediatric oncologists whose work is largely supported by philanthropy. These charitable contributions enable early-stage research that later qualifies for major grant funding. As a result of decades of innovation and collaboration, survival rates for many childhood cancers have dramatically improved—from approximately 20% survival decades ago to nearly 80% today—allowing many survivors to live long, healthy lives.

Sondel's commitment to the cause is deeply personal. His brother, Paul M. Sondel, MD, PhD, is the Reed and Carolee Walker Professor of Pediatric Oncology at the University of Wisconsin and a nationally respected physician-scientist. Dr. Sondel has played a key role in pioneering immunotherapy-based research that has helped shape modern pediatric cancer treatment. Today, he leads a multidisciplinary team providing comprehensive, compassionate, and state-of-the-art care for children with cancer and blood disorders at UW Health.

"Supporting research that saves children's lives is one of the most meaningful investments we can make," said Sondel. "The work being done at UW Health Kids Carbone Cancer Center continues to change outcomes and futures for families facing the unimaginable."

In addition to advancing childhood cancer research, Harbour Investments and its advisor community are making a lasting difference for children and families by supporting meaningful organizations such as Chosen, Give Kids the World Village, Faith & Grace Homes, and Wild Hope.

#PhiladelphiaPeachy @PepsiCo Philadelphia International Airport and MarketPlace PHL Set Guinness World Record for ‘Longest Line of Cheesesteaks’ on National Cheesesteak Day

Passengers at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) today were thrilled to see culinary history being made right before their eyes: the “Longest Line of Cheesesteaks” … achieving a new Guinness World Record for National Cheesesteak Day, March 24.

The savory serpentine of sandwiches at PHL ultimately stretched to a record-setting 1,291 cheesesteaks — spanning the length of more than three football fields and occupying nearly the entire concourse between Terminals B and C. It was comprised of 225 pounds of cheese sauce, 990 pounds of shaved ribeye and over 1,200 foot-long rolls.

The Philadelphia Cheesesteak is among the city’s most celebrated icons, and PHL has more restaurants serving cheesesteaks under one roof than any other single location in Philly.

Multiple concessionaires from PHL Food & Shops, in partnership with the City of Philadelphia Department of Aviation, have been collaborating for months to deliver this culinary win for Philly.

Today’s champion cheesesteak is a first-time category creator, according to Guinness World Records.

Several local Philadelphia suppliers contributed ingredients and resources to assemble the history-making queue. Amoroso’s Baking Company provided the classic Philadelphia rolls; Cooper Sharp supplied the cheese sauce; and Philly’s Best Steak Company delivered the beef. Chickie’s & Pete’s supported the effort by supplying kitchen equipment and preparation space to assist with the large-scale production of sandwiches, and Pepsi is the official beverage partner of Cheesesteak Week at PHL.

The Guinness World Record for Longest Line of Cheesesteaks kicks off what’s also expected to be a record-setting year for passenger travel at PHL. Throughout 2026, Philadelphia will host the MLB All-Star Game, FIFA World Cup 26, NCAA Men’s March Madness and the PGA Championship — in addition to celebrating Philly’s unique role in American history as part of the U.S. Semiquincentennial.

Following the official measurement and confirmation by veteran Guinness World Records Adjudicator Michael Empric, cheesesteaks from the record attempt were served to passengers, participants and guests.

“In 2026, Philly is on a roll literally and figuratively,” said Kate Sullivan, Chief Commercial Officer for the Department of Aviation. “Cooking and assembling the longest line of cheesesteaks ever will be among many historic moments in Philadelphia this year. Congratulations and thanks to all the cheesesteak restaurants here at PHL that collaborated on this delicious, record-setting accomplishment. And thanks to Guinness World Records for acknowledging this achievement.”

Restaurants at PHL that serve cheesesteaks or cheesesteak-inspired menu items include:Bar Symon
Bud & Marilyn’s
Chickie’s & Pete’s
Geno’s Steaks
Good Luck Bar & Restaurant
Independence Prime
Jack Duggan’s Pub & Restaurant
Jim’s South St. Famous Cheesesteaks
Local Tavern
LOVE Grille
Mezzogiorno
Oyster House
Passyunk Steaks
Philly Pretzel Factory
Sabrina’s Cafe
Subway
Tony Luke’s
WinKitchen

Mel Hannah, Vice President and General Manager of MarketPlace PHL, added: “More than 100 team members from more than a dozen different restaurant operators, with multiple food suppliers, along with staff from the Department of Aviation and MarketPlace PHL, all worked collectively to make culinary history today. That’s how Philadelphia gets it done … together.”

PHL Cheesesteak Week continues through Friday, March 27, with participating restaurants throughout the airport offering special cheesesteak-inspired dishes, exclusive meal deals and other activations celebrating the city’s signature sandwich.

One of sport’s biggest stars on and off the field, Travis Kelce steps into Tommy Hilfiger’s world of Classic American Cool — in a series of campaigns, collaborations and events spanning F.A.M.E.S (Fashion, Art, Music, Entertainment and Sport).


The multi-season partnership will showcase co-designed menswear and accessories refreshing “Prep Made Current” through Travis Kelce’s vibrant lens.

Tommy Hilfiger, which is part of PVH Corp. [NYSE: PVH], announces Travis Kelce — three-time Super Bowl champion and defining voice of his generation — as Global Brand Ambassador and creative collaborator. Inspired by its 40 years of collaborating with trailblazing figures across pop culture, Tommy Hilfiger is partnering with one of the most recognizable names in the international spotlight.

Known for his bold personal style, Kelce is invited to bring his confidence, individuality and charisma to Tommy Hilfiger’s life of style — as part of a series of campaigns shaped by relentless optimism, endless curiosity and a belief in dreaming big. The partnership begins in Fall 2026, as the athletic icon enters Tommy Hilfiger’s New York — a setting of timeless glamour, easy sophistication and where surprise encounters are never more than a block away. The story will continue into the Spring 2027 campaign, and a design collaboration that reimagines elevated Tommy icons.

“Travis Kelce is one of the most magnetic figures in sport and culture today,” said Tommy Hilfiger. “He is at the forefront of a new generation of athletes expressing themselves through style, with a down-to-earth quality that people immediately connect with. I’m excited to see how he brings his fearless, fun-loving and bold take on Prep Made Current to fans around the world.”

One of the most visible personalities of today, Kelce moves naturally between stadium, screen and style. A tunnel-walk pioneer, his game-day arrivals are covered like red-carpet moments, turning each entrance into a showcase for his bold, personal point of view. Across primetime television and Hollywood, his humor and natural stage presence have made him a headline-making crossover figure with influence beyond the field. He seamlessly transitions from the locker room to the boardroom, with a dynamic and growing business portfolio and a significant media career spanning producing and hosting, including co-creating the New Heights podcast with brother Jason Kelce. All the while, he continues to be one of the best to ever do it at his day job throughout his legendary 14-year NFL career.

“I’ve long admired TOMMY HILFIGER as an iconic American brand,” said Travis Kelce. “Ever since high school, when I used to ask my mom to buy Sailing Gear jackets, I’ve been drawn towards the brand’s confident style and over the years have respected its ability to be classic and consistent while still evolving. Getting to work with Tommy and put my own twist on timeless pieces, in a way that feels original for today, is a dream come true.”

Kelce joins a legacy of contemporary icons who have contributed to shaping Tommy Hilfiger’s vision across cultural worlds. Building on past collaborations with names including Rafael Nadal, Gigi Hadid, Lewis Hamilton, Zendaya, and Damson Idris, Kelce marks the next chapter in that legacy. The partnership reflects Tommy Hilfiger’s focus on working and co-creating with the artists, innovators and tastemakers shaping the world today.

Notre Dame Announces Zero Tuition for Families Earning Under $150k

For many students, attending a top-ranked university can feel out of reach long before the application is submitted. Rising tuition costs—and the perception that elite institutions are financially inaccessible—continue to deter talented students, particularly those from lower- and middle-income families.

The University of Notre Dame is working to change that.

What’s Changing

Beginning with the 2026–27 academic year, Notre Dame will ensure that families with annual incomes under $150,000 pay zero tuition. The announcement marks a significant expansion of the University’s commitment to need-based financial aid and builds on its broader Pathways to Notre Dame initiative, which is designed to increase access, affordability and support for students from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds.

Why it matters for students

For students navigating the college search, the impact is both immediate and personal. A student from a household earning under $150,000—above the national median income—can now consider Notre Dame without the same financial tradeoffs that often narrow their options. The policy is intended not only to remove cost as a barrier, but also to reshape who sees themselves as belonging at a highly selective institution.

The change reflects a growing emphasis across higher education on access and affordability. At Notre Dame, it is also mission-driven: an effort to build bridges—between income levels, communities, and lived experiences—by bringing more students together in a shared environment of learning and formation.

“In order to be the community of learning we are called to be, cost must never be a barrier,” University President Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C., said. “By expanding the Pathways to Notre Dame program, we continue to make a Notre Dame education more affordable. We are committed to welcoming talented young people from a variety of backgrounds and helping them develop their gifts.”

A lasting impact

Expanding access not only strengthens the campus community but also creates long-term societal impact, as graduates carry their education into careers and communities around the world.

For prospective students, the message is clear: cost should not be the reason to rule out applying.

As details continue to emerge, the initiative is already signaling a meaningful shift—one that redefines affordability at one of the nation’s leading universities and opens the door to students who may not have seen Notre Dame as possible before.

#AdvantageousAuctions #ChampagneWishes Acker Makes History with Sale of World’s Most Expensive Bottle of Wine Ever Sold at Auction

Acker, the world’s largest fine wine auction house and America’s oldest wine merchant, set a new world record in fine wine when a single 750 ml bottle of 1945 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti—originally sourced from the personal cellar of Robert Drouhin—sold for $812,500 at Acker’s La Paulée auction this past weekend. The sale surpasses the previous world record of $558,000 set in 2018, cementing the 1945 vintage as the most coveted bottle in the history of wine collecting.

Acker’s annual La Paulée Auction, livestreamed in New York City at Marea, was held in conjunction with the world’s greatest Burgundy celebration. The event delivered a historic three-day performance March 26–28, surpassing $25 million in total sales and setting an extraordinary 460 new world records.

The 1945 Romanée-Conti represents the final vintage produced before Domaine de la Romanée-Conti replanted its oldest vines—grapes that had survived phylloxera, two World Wars and nearly a century of Burgundy history. With production extremely limited, surviving bottles have long been considered the pinnacle of wine collecting, with many connoisseurs believing the pre-phylloxera vines add an unmatched depth and complexity to the wine.

“We made history this weekend,” said John Kapon, Chairman of Acker. “I’ve had the privilege of tasting the 1945 Romanée-Conti just three times in my life, and it is the greatest wine I’ve ever tasted. This remarkable sale was just one of hundreds of record-breaking achievements at an auction that highlighted the accelerating demand for trophy wines at the highest end of the fine wine market. This weekend’s event exemplified the soul and spirit of Burgundy, bringing together the world’s top producers and collectors and creating the perfect conditions for a truly historic result.”

The 1945 Romanée-Conti has consistently commanded record-breaking prices at auction, driven by its extraordinary provenance, mythic scarcity and status as the last expression of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti prior to the replanting of vines. The provenance of this particular bottle—drawn directly from the cellar of Robert Drouhin, one of the most revered names in Burgundy—added an additional layer of significance for bidders and collectors worldwide.

The blistering La Paulée auction set 460 new world records in total, led by Domaine Dujac with 27, followed by Domaine de la Romanée-Conti with 23. Other domaines in high demand included Leflaive (20 new world records), Coche-Dury (19), Duroché (19), Ramonet (16) and Alex Moreau and Bouchard (15 each).

Acker’s 2026 auction season continues with a sale in Hong Kong on April 11, a special Single Cellar auction in the US on April 17, and May sales in Switzerland, Singapore and the US. Consignments are now being accepted for May and June, and weekly web auction deadlines remain every Friday. For more information, please email info@ackerwines.com.
