GovX Community Raises $24,000+ for Disaster Response Organization Team Rubicon

Team Rubicon unites military veterans and first responders to rapidly deploy emergency response teams following natural disaster or humanitarian crises.

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) November 09, 2018

A fundraising effort organized by GovX, the online shopping site exclusively for current and former military and first responders, raised over $24,000 for the disaster relief organization Team Rubicon.

The CrowdRise fundraiser lasted for three months, and drew donations from members of the GovX community - people with service-related backgrounds in every branch of the US Armed Forces, law enforcement, firefighting, and emergency responder departments across the country. One randomly chosen member of the GovX community who donated at least $10 to Team Rubicon won a $5,000 GovX shopping spree.

"Team Rubicon is thankful for the support from GovX and the GovX community," said Art delaCruz, COO at Team Rubicon. "This generous donation will put more volunteers in the field and more homeowners one step closer to normalcy. It's companies like GovX that allow Team Rubicon’s impact to grow and positively affect more natural disaster survivors."

As a veteran service organization, Team Rubicon deploys response teams comprised mostly of individuals with military and first responder backgrounds. The organization seeks to provide veterans and former uniformed professionals with the purpose, community, and identity they gained during their time in active service. By joining a new mission, many veterans regain a sense of belonging through their commitment to service and passion for helping others.

Founded by US Marine Corps veterans William McNulty and Jacob Wood in 2010, Team Rubicon has over 90,000 volunteer members, or "Greyshirts" who stand ready to deploy wherever natural catastrophes and humanitarian crises occur. Since 2010, they have deployed on over 300 responses, including recently to the Carolinas following the devastating impact of Hurricane Florence in September. Team Rubicon is currently operating an Emergency Medical Team in the Northern Mariana Islands assisting survivors of Super Typhoon Yutu.

"We knew that the GovX community would enthusiastically support this incredible veteran-powered response team," said Alan Cole, GovX CEO. "But our members' compassion for veterans and their fellow Americans exceeded our expectations. It was truly amazing to see our community step up in the way that they did to support Team Rubicon."

The fundraiser was the inaugural effort of GovX Gives Back, a new phase of GovX's support for veterans and uniformed professionals. The GovX community has a four-year history of supporting military and first responder nonprofits. With the support of members, GovX has donated over $200,000 to organizations such as the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial Fund, National Fallen Firefighter Foundation, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, and many others.

GovX's current fundraiser benefits Homes For Our Troops, the nonprofit that builds specially adapted custom homes and donates them mortgage free to severely injured post-9/11 veterans. Interested GovX members can donate here for a chance to win a trip to Las Vegas.

ABOUT GOVX

GovX.com is for the men and women who protect our country and communities. The members-only eCommerce site offers thousands of products from hundreds of premium brands at exclusive, below-retail pricing. Eligible members include active and veteran U.S. military, firefighters, law enforcement officers and federal agents. Membership is free and more information can be found at http://www.govx.com.

ABOUT TEAM RUBICON

AC Immune Shares Insights from Key Opinion Leader Meeting on Abeta Oligomers in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Other Misfolded Proteins in AD and Neurodegenerative Diseases

· *Increasing evidence points to Abeta oligomers as the toxic species in AD, and likely linked to Tau pathology and neuroinflammation.*
· *Immunotherapies and small molecule anti-Tau therapeutics hold much promise in treating AD and neurodegenerative orphan indications.*
· *Additional misfolded proteins, alpha-synuclein and TDP-43 exist alongside Beta-amyloid and Tau as concomitant pathologies, suggesting precision medicine approaches are required for treating AD and other neurodegenerative diseases.  *

*Lausanne, Switzerland, November 9, 2018* - AC Immune SA (NASDAQ: ACIU), a Swiss-based, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with a broad pipeline focused on neurodegenerative diseases, shared top level insights from its Key Opinion Leader (KOL) luncheon meeting on Abeta oligomers and concomitant proteinopathies in AD and other neurodegenerative diseases, which took place on November 5, 2018, in New York City.

The meeting featured presentations by Professor Michael W. Weiner, University of California San Francisco School of Medicine and Professor John Q. Trojanowski, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania.

Professor Weiner reviewed current understanding of the amyloid hypothesis of AD, emphasizing the key role Abeta oligomers as the most toxic species in the amyloid cascade, and which produce various downstream effects possibly involved in tau pathology and neuroinflammation. In regard to tau, Professor Weiner highlighted the excitement around antibody, vaccine and small molecule anti-tau therapeutics currently in clinical trials and development. Finally Professor Weiner explained the importance of diagnostics for early intervention in AD, and reviewed progress in brain PET imaging as well as molecular biomarkers in brain fluid and blood.

Professor Weiner remarked: "Alzheimer's Disease can be thought of as an amyloid induced tauopathy, and therefore therapeutics targeting amyloid and tau hold much promise in finding a cure for this devastating disease. Imaging and biomarker diagnostics, particularly blood tests, will facilitate early treatment and improved clinical outcomes.''

Professor Trojanowski highlighted the existence of concomitant pathologies in a wide range of neurodegenerative diseases, emphasizing the importance of alpha-synuclein and TDP-43, in addition to Beta-amyloid and tau. These discoveries point to the future importance of precision medicine, involving therapeutics targeting the pathological proteins relevant to an individual patients and stage of disease. 

Professor Trojanowski commented: "It is becoming clearer that clinical trial participants may be better defined by their various proteinopathies and that patient sub-classification may lead to improved clinical outcomes. The high prevalence of co-pathologies in neurodegenerative diseases, as well variation between individuals, indicates that diagnostics and combination therapy may be the ultimate requirement."

Following the KOL presentations, Prof. Andrea Pfeifer, CEO of AC Immune, gave an overview of the Company's pipeline and strategy to be a leader in precision medicine in neurodegenerative diseases. The Company has nine products in various stages of clinical development and a sustainable pipeline of pre-clinical assets addressing key targets in AD and neurodegenerative diseases. 

Professor Andrea Pfeifer commented: "We're starting to see a clearer and more important need for precision medicine with the prevalence of co-pathology in AD, Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases. Our current therapeutic and diagnostic pipeline forms the basis of our forward strategy to become a leader in precision medicine as applied to AD and other neurodegenerative diseases."

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, Nov. 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- *Rennova Health, Inc. (OTC: RNVA) (OTC: RNVAW), *today announced that the effective time of the reverse split announced yesterday of 5:00 pm, Eastern Time, on November 9, 2018, has been moved to 5:00 pm, Eastern Time, on November 12, 2018 (the “Effective Time”), at which point, the Company will effect a 1 for 500 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. The Company’s common stock will open for trading on Tuesday November 13, 2018, on a post-split basis. This change was made following a recommendation made by FINRA due to Monday November 12, being Veterans Day, a Federal holiday.As a result of the reverse stock split, every 500 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding on the Effective Time will be consolidated into one issued and outstanding share, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in any of the Company’s stockholders owning a fractional share, which fractional share will be in that case paid in cash. In connection with the reverse stock split, there will be no change in the nominal par value per share of $0.0001.

Trading of the Company’s common stock will continue, on a split-adjusted basis, with the opening of the markets on Tuesday, November 13, 2018, under the existing trading symbol “RNVA” under a new CUSIP number. Based on the number of shares outstanding on November 9, 2018, the reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding from approximately 7.6 billion pre-reverse split shares to approximately 15.3 million post-reverse split.

All outstanding preferred shares, stock options, warrants, and equity incentive plans immediately prior to the reverse stock split generally will be appropriately adjusted by dividing the number of shares of common stock into which the preferred shares, stock options, warrants and equity incentive plans are exercisable or convertible by 500 and multiplying the exercise or conversion price by 500, as a result of the reverse stock split.

The Company has retained its transfer agent, Computershare, Inc., to act as its exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Computershare will provide stockholders of record as of the Effective Time a letter of transmittal providing instructions for the exchange of their stock certificates. Stockholders owning shares via a broker or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to brokers’ particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split.

The reverse stock split was approved by the directors of the Company, pursuant to a resolution adopted by written consent of the holders of the majority of the total voting power of the Company’s securities on August 22, 2018.
