AAA Southern New England Partners With Brain Fitness Leader Posit Science to Donate $1 Million In Driver Improvement Software to Public Libraries Across Massachusetts Nov 11, 2009 01:58PM

BOSTON, Nov. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Massachusetts is considering legislation to re-test older drivers in the wake of the summer's high profile crashes. And now, AAA Southern New England is partnering with a leading brain fitness company to offer a new driver improvement software program designed for aging Bay State motorists.

San Francisco-based Posit Science is donating $1 million in software licenses for the innovative new DriveSharp program, to be distributed free of charge to every public library in the Commonwealth through a grant application program run by AAA. More than 11 thousand software licenses will be distributed, and the program was launched at a press event at the Newton Free Library in Newton Center Tuesday, November 10 at 2pm.

"Our goal at Posit Science is to get science out of the labs and into the real world where it can make a difference in people's lives," says Steven Aldrich, CEO of Posit Science.

AAA Southern New England's President and CEO Mark Shaw said he's pleased to collaborate with Posit Science to extend the reach of the new software to residents across the state. "Our new partnership allows us to offer a ground-breaking educational tool that provides a solutions-based approach to the problem of declining cognitive skills related to driving. DriveSharp enables older motorists--and all of us--to re-build and re-focus those skills," he adds.

DriveSharp is an interactive series of game-like computer exercises proven in independent studies to improve reaction time, reduce car crash risk by up to 50 percent, and improve stopping distance by as much as 22 feet at 55 miles per hour. It has been tested and recommended by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.

"At a time when driver re-testing is an issue in Massachusetts, and library resources are being cut due to fiscal constraints, this software donation could have a very positive impact on drivers," says Robert Maier, Director of the state's Board of Library Commissioners.

DriveSharp user Mary Anne Bigwood says, "The software made a real difference. I noticed things more easily in my field of vision, and I think it will help a lot of people."

In most cases, patrons have the option of using DriveSharp at their local library, or they may borrow the CD-ROM for use at home.

AAA Southern New England is a not-for-profit auto club with 42 offices in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut, providing more than 2.7 million local AAA members with travel, insurance, finance and auto-related services.

Ingenious Med Partners with Children's Restoration Network for Holiday Charity Nov 11, 2009 01:57PM

ATLANTA, Nov. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- This holiday season, Ingenious Med is partnering with Children's Restoration Network (CRN) to donate employees' time and treasure to roughly 2,000 Metro-Atlanta children living in group homes and shelters.

CRN kicked off November with a Thanksgiving food drive, an effort to stock 129 shelters with basic needs as well as holiday favorites. The organization looks to volunteers like Ingenious Med to host these food drives throughout Atlanta. Ingenious Med has sponsored a month-long drive within its office complex, giving 14 companies and nearly 450 individuals the opportunity to donate everything from canned foods to grocery gift cards.

Additionally, Ingenious Med will be actively participating in CRN's "Adopt-A-Shelter" holiday program. Not only has Ingenious Med pledged to make its adopted shelter's holidays more enjoyable with volunteered time and gifts, Ingenious Med has engaged to donate time and scholarships to the shelter year-round.

During CRN's "12 Days of Caring" event, volunteers like Ingenious Med will be invited to a gift wrapping party, where they will have the opportunity to meet other volunteers and distribute gifts to the children of all ages.

"Holidays are always tough on those less fortunate, especially homeless children and homeless mothers with children," said Cliff Kinsey, CEO of CRN. "We could not touch so many lives without the help of great corporate citizens like Ingenious Med. We are very grateful to be a part of their Philanthropy."

CRN has been servicing 18 Atlanta counties since 1993, providing shelter for nearly 3,800 needy children each year. Beyond providing the basic necessities of food and shelter, CRN strives to provide education opportunities and special programs and events to bring positive experiences for some of Atlanta's most deserving youth.

"We felt an immediate connection with CRN due to its emphasis on our Atlanta community and the ability it gave us to donate and volunteer all year and not just during the holiday season," said Ingenious Med CEO, Hart Williford. "The passionate staff and volunteers have had such wonderful successes with the shelters and homeless mothers and children they serve. We're enthused on an individual and corporate level about this partnership."
