YourFMO Reaches a Donation Milestone: Equivalent of 10 Million Meals Donated to Feeding America®

YourFMO

YourFMO, a national, non-governmental, independent marketing organization that provides agents with valuable resources they need to help clients decide on Medicare options, announced that it has reached a major milestone in its partnership with Feeding America ®: YourFMO has donated in excess of 10 million meals since 2019. Since starting its partnership with Feeding America, YourFMO has donated the equivalent of 10 meals* for every effective insurance enrollment that agents submit through the YourFMO Enrollment Center. “When we started our partnership with Feeding America, the idea of donating the equivalent of 1 million meals seemed like an ambitious goal,” said Matthew Graham, senior vice president and YourFMO program leader. “The independent agents who embrace our enrollment center in Q4 of 2023 fueled us to surpass this 10-million-meal milestone.” YourFMO and Feeding America share a common goal to support America’s senior population. According to Feeding America, 5.5 million seniors (1 in 14 or 7.1%), age 60 and older, were food insecure in 2021. Every state is home to seniors and older adults who experience food insecurity. Feeding America is committed to an America where no one is hungry. The organization partners with people experiencing food insecurity, policymakers, organizations and supporters, united with them in a movement to end hunger. “We are so grateful for partners like YourFMO, whose commitment to Feeding America has resulted in a remarkable milestone of 10 million meals donated since 2019,” said Lauren Biedron, Feeding America’s Senior Vice President of Corporate Partnerships. “Their dedication has had a far-reaching impact on local food banks and their surrounding communities in addressing hunger, including the critical issue of senior hunger.” YourFMO’s closest business partners appreciate the opportunity to support Feeding America when they use the enrollment center. “Many of the companies in the AmeriLife portfolio rely on YourFMO’s platform to efficiently process Medicare enrollments,” said Scotty Elliott, Chief Distribution Officer of Health at AmeriLife. “The ability to also play a role in helping to feed seniors who are battling food insecurities is a benefit that can’t be overstated.” YourFMO’s efforts to support Feeding America have also helped inspire AmeriLife’s corporate giving efforts. During last year’s Valspar Championship, AmeriLife – in partnership with local affiliate Feeding Tampa Bay – sponsored a food donation drive at the golf tournament. Fans eagerly responded by donating 5,000 pounds of shelf-stable food items, and the two partners look forward to hosting this food drive activation once again during the final round of the 2024 Valspar Championship on Sunday, March 24. “YourFMO helped introduce us to the worthwhile efforts of Feeding America,” said Elliott. “We’re proud to hold another donation drive at this year’s tournament and help those in our community who are facing hunger.” YourFMO sees its partnership with Feeding America as an ongoing commitment. “I know I can speak for the entire YourFMO team in saying we’re incredibly grateful for the support from our independent agents who helped us reach 10 million donated meals,” added Graham. “I’m excited to see how many more meals we can donate and how many neighbors in need we can support in 2024 and in years to come.” Individuals who want to support YourFMO’s efforts can visit its Team Feed Corporate donation page to make a financial contribution. *$1 helps provide at least 10 meals ### About YourFMO YourFMO is a national non-government, independent marketing organization that is a one-stop shop for independent agents to grow their business.

With nearly 50 million adult Americans playing pickleball, Doubles Dink for Cancer invites players of all levels to play pickleball or organize an event to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer and raise funds to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families. Hosted on UTR Sports’ innovative software, these volunteer-led, round robin doubles tournaments can happen anytime, anywhere—from a local pickleball or tennis club, to community courts or even homemade, temporary courts lined with chalk. Events are designed to be fun and open to everyone, including the most experienced pickleball players and people picking up a paddle for the first time. “Pickleball offers physical, social and emotional benefits—all important to a battle against cancer. Doubles Dink for Cancer builds on this as a fun way to get moving, raise awareness and leverage the pickleball community for good,” said APP Founder Ken Herrmann. “With the majority of people having a personal connection to cancer, we hope you join us in rallying behind the American Cancer Society to bring renewed hope for patients and their families on a national scale.” Doubles Dink for Cancer will also showcase how pickleball can play a part in cancer avoidance, as people maintain an active and healthy lifestyle—an important factor in reducing cancer risk.

The Miami-Fort Lauderdale metropolitan area represents the single largest concentration of pickleball players in Florida, with 20 percent of the state’s pickleball-playing population residing in the area. According to the APP’s 2023 player participation research data, the Miami-Fort Lauderdale metropolitan area is the fourth largest pickleball market in the nation, with 3.1 percent of their population having played the sport at least once in the past twelve months. Each Doubles Dink for Cancer event, regardless of tournament size, will be supported with the following signature elements: An event page on UTR Sports where organizers can invite friends, manage registration and communicate with players Resources for beginner event organizers to easily manage the tournament, including a toolkit with sample schedules, scoresheets, brackets, volunteer needs and more For more experienced organizers, access to UTR Sports technology to run the event using its tournament management software Branded T-shirts for event participants “We are excited and honored to be partners on this great initiative,” said Mark Leschly, UTR Sports Chairman and CEO. “Cancer impacts so many Americans, and the opportunity to support the battle while playing the great sport of pickleball is a win for everyone.

News Release

American Aires Inc. (CSE:WIFI; OTC Pink:AAIRF) Proprietary Solution Against EMF Radiation Could Unlock Significant Shareholder Value

AAIRF, EDR, TKO

As the world gets more technologically advanced, there has been a dramatic rise in the number of electronic devices emitting electromagnetic fields (EMFs). EMFs are invisible energy areas associated with electrical power use, and while these EMFs have helped make our lives more convenient and connected, they have also had some unintended consequences. A number of scientific studies have shown that exposure to EMF radiation can trigger inflammation in the brain, which can lead to tissue damage and contribute to the development of various diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases. The results further demonstrated that there was a significant correlation between brain electrical activity and cognitive function, particularly in the areas of attention and working memory. Basically, using devices like your cell phone for just 30 minutes a day can increase brain tumor risks by 40%, while 24 hours of EMF exposure can induce more DNA damage than 1,600 chest x-rays. That is exactly why the Canadian-based nanotechnology company American Aires Inc. (CSE:WIFI) (OTC Pink:AAIRF), which is focused on enhancing well-being and environmental safety, has come up with what is possibly the perfect solution to this problem. American Aires has developed a proprietary silicon-based resonator that protects against the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation. According to the company, its main goal was to find a way to minimize harm to the body without impacting the capability of electronic devices, which meant that the obvious solution was to modulate, rather than block or absorb radiation, to create a surrounding area free from the harm of EMF. So far, the company has dedicated over 20 years and poured at least $20 million into developing its proprietary nanotechnology, which has resulted in sleek and stylish, convenient devices that can be used for both personal and area protection without any need for a power source. Aires' Lifetune products target EMR emitted by consumer electronic devices such as cellphones, computers, baby monitors, and Wi-Fi, including the more powerful and rapidly expanding high-speed 5G networks. More importantly, the effectiveness of the American Aires Inc. (CSE:WIFI) (OTC Pink:AAIRF) microchip in reducing the harmful effects of EMF radiation has been reaffirmed by the scientific community. A recently published study in the Link Journal confirmed the chip’s stabilizing capabilities, while at least eight peer-reviewed studies and 25 clinical and scientific reports also validated the technology. Backed by such an impressive body of scientific research that supports the company’s technology, it’s no surprise that the company has been growing its topline at a healthy clip. Revenue growth has been robust, and over the past two years alone, the company has doubled its revenue consistently. According to the company’s most recent earnings results, Aires brought in $5.5 million in revenue for the first 9 months of 2022, representing a 63% YoY increase. Extrapolating this growth rate over the whole of 2023, Airestech could be sitting on $10 million in 2023 sales. What's even more appealing about American Aires Inc. (CSE:WIFI) (OTC Pink:AAIRF) is that it boasts superior profit margins. At the moment, its gross margins average about 60%, illustrating just how lucrative the opportunity in this space is. This level of profitability essentially puts Aires right up there with the top technology companies like Nvidia and Apple, which had 75% and 45% gross margins, respectively. The company also reached a key milestone after achieving positive EBITDA (adjusted) in its most recent quarter. A multi-billion-dollar market As you have probably realized by now, it is practically impossible to avoid EMF radiation in our technology-reliant world. That is why investors are taking a close look at American Aires Inc., which seems well positioned to capitalize on this huge opportunity. The market for Aires products is applicable to diverse customer segments, including biohackers, tech-savvy athletes, individuals focused on fertility, those seeking better sleep, and most recently, gamers. The U.S. market alone could be potentially worth $5 billion, which is just a tiny fraction of the global opportunity. Currently, American Aires Inc. (CSE:WIFI) (OTC Pink:AAIRF) operates an online direct-to-consumer sales model with fulfillment centers in the USA, Canada, Australia, and the EU and a customer base of 54,000 clients spread out across 65 countries. However, the company believes that it has the opportunity to further expand its reach now that its products have been especially popular among high-performing athletes and celebrities who value health and wellness. That explains why earlier this month Aires announced the launch of its new campaign, #airesathletes, to broaden its impact within the elite performance sphere, with UFC star Maycee Barber as the first athlete partner. Maycee "The Future" Barber is a formidable presence in the women's flyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Last year, the UFC and WWE merged to form TKO Group (NYSE:TKO), and Aires’ initiative aims to connect with professional athletes who have turned to the company for the significant benefits its technology offers, particularly in terms of physiological optimization through EMF modulation as well as the proven protection from external EMF sources. And just earlier this week, American Aires Inc. (CSE:WIFI) (OTC Pink:AAIRF) announced that it had signed another strategic partnership with William Morris Endeavor Entertainment (WME), a titan in entertainment, sports, and fashion. WME is a leader in the global entertainment arena, bringing to the table a vast network of world-class artists, athletes, and content creators and a proven track record in talent management and strategic marketing. That means WME is perfectly positioned to elevate Aires' footprint, increasing brand reach and engagement and underscoring the extensive benefits of Aires' solutions for wellness and performance optimization. WME is part of Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:EDR), a global sports and entertainment behemoth that has a 51% stake in TKO. This collaboration will harness the growing interest from elite athletes and performers in Aires' innovative solutions and capitalize on the momentum Aires has built among top-tier athletes, expanding on the recently launched #airesathlete campaign. Additionally, this partnership between American Aires and WME underscores a transformative vision: Aires Technology, already trusted by elite athletes and performers for its unmatched performance and recovery benefits, is poised to become a global standard for EMF protection and physiological optimization.
