LONG BEACH, CA, UNITED STATES, August 4, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Just Works, a social enterprise that provides payroll, benefits, HR, and compliance — all in one place, is sponsoring the Southern California Black Chamber of Commerce‘s Annual Bid Whist and Casino Day.

The SCBCC is a nonprofit 501(c)(6) business organization dedicated to improving the economic environment for the minority business community and fostering business development and prosperity. The card game competition has been a tradition of the Southern California Black Chamber of Commerce for nearly 30 years.

“Our annual tournament is a great way for guests and members to connect in a fun environment, “says William Paige, Southern California Black Chamber of Commerce Long Beach Area President. “It’s an opportunity to support our youth and our elderly while giving away cash and prizes.”

The annual bid whist tournament is a great opportunity for networking and fun, while also supporting a good cause. All proceeds from the event will go to support YouthBuild, a high school diploma program for disadvantaged youth ages 16-32. Funds are also being raised for Alzheimer’s and dementia research.

“We believe in the Southern California Black Chamber of Commerce’s mission to promote economic development and opportunity within the Black community. This event is a great way to bring people together while also supporting a worthy cause. We hope you’ll join us on August 20th” says JustWorks team.

The tournament will take place at 729 West Anaheim Street, Unit C, Long Beach, CA 90813. Registration is available at https://www.BlackChamberofCommerce.org

‘Bronze Star’ graphic novel

Cancel culture activists won the battle, but award-winning ‘Punisher’ comics writer Mike Baron won the war

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, USA, August 2, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Comic book writer Mike Baron spent four decades writing heroes from Punisher to Nexus to The Flash to “Star Wars.” But it wasn’t comic-book villains that he had to overcome in 2023, it was “cancel culture.” And just like many of the classic heroes he wrote for, he walked away victorious, with a massive war chest raised for “Private American’ his new graphic novel about a vigilante fighting cartels on America’s southern border.

Baron reflected on his years of writing the Punisher at Marvel Comics and imagined what a character like that would be doing in 2023 if he were writing it. “The Punisher would be defending our southern border,” Baron says “battling cartels, human traffickers and terrorists exploiting the administration’s failure to protect American sovereignty.”

So Baron created a new hero; an ex-Green Beret sickened by what he sees in his home state of Texas, and seeking justice over the death of a dear friend against the cartels and criminals at the border. But for Baron himself, it wasn’t cartels, street thugs, or terrorists he had to fight. Once he launched the crowdfunding campaign for the graphic novel, another indie comic publisher sought to cancel the campaign by report the project on all the major crowdfunding platforms.

Within hours, each platform suspended the campaign, with one shadow-banning the book. Baron’s team quickly pushed back, appearing on podcasts and YouTube channels, and seeking assistance from the CBLDF and FIRE to help with their fight for artistic freedom and free speech. FOX News covered the story that same week, and the team sent their supporters directly to the website theprivateamerican.com, which directed customers where they could order the book.

The result was a huge victory for free speech. The book hauled in nearly $100,000 in pre-orders and began shipping to readers in June. It’s also been getting great reviews. David Finn of the Signal of Doom podcast says “it’s the Punisher the fans have been missing.” The book is now available for order on a new cancel-free, crowdfunding platform called FundMyComic.com. Baron’s team also hired the Dhillon Law Group to begin proceedings against those that deplatformed his book.

Now the Eisner award winning comicbook writer has launched a new crowdfunding campaign for his latest graphic novel, a Weird Western called “Bronze Star” over on Fund My Comic as well, which Baron says is the best work of illustrator Pat Broderick’s career, and where they’ve been assured they will never be canceled, but Baron is still sending his readers to bronzestarcomic.com as a precautionary measure.

“The Machine” is headed to Milford for the Disc Golf Pro Tour Playoffs! Bert Kreischer will be attending his very first professional Disc Golf event!

MILFORD, MICHIGAN, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, August 2, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Bert Kreischer is a household name in the world of comedy. Known for his energetic stage presence and his ability to make people laugh until their sides hurt, the stand-up comedian, podcaster, television host and actor has recently been exploring a new passion: Disc Golf. Bert originally found the sport in college, but rediscovered it in Texas while looking for different ways to spend more time outside, especially while on tour. Since falling back in love with Disc Golf, Bert has been a vocal advocate for the sport on his podcast and in media appearances, notably discussing it on shows like The Rich Eisen Show and The Joe Rogan Experience.

Bert is now taking his fandom to the next level as he prepares to attend the Discraft Great Lakes Open, the first Disc Golf Pro Tour Playoff Event of the 2023 season, and Bert’s very first professional Disc Golf event!

Bert Kreischer initially rose to fame through his stand-up comedy routines and his popular podcasts, 2 Bears, 1 Cave,Bertcast, and Open Tabs, as well as his cooking show, Something’s Burning. His fame took a leap when his popular 2016 standup routine inspired a feature film aptly titled The Machine (2023), co-written and starring Bert himself. The comedian’s journey into the world of Disc Golf, one of the world’s fastest growing sports, has been no less thrilling. Bert has popped up in the YouTube feed of disc golfers more than once over the years, featured Disc Golf in his own content and graciously appeared on Disc Golf specific YouTube channels like Foundation Podcasts. Kreischer sees Disc Golf as more than a pastime, going out of his way to recognize the sport’s accessibility, supportive community, and health benefits.

Later this month, Kreischer will be in attendance at the Discraft Great Lakes Open! Recognizing Kreischer’s enthusiasm for the sport and his massive fanbase, Discraft has made a move to expand the VIP fan area – aptly dubbed the “Bert Zone” – with additional bleachers, tents, and a large video board to enhance the spectator experience. Fans will have the opportunity to participate in the larger than life experience for themselves.

In addition to the “Bert Zone”, fans will have the opportunity to purchase exclusive Bert Kreischer discs. This unique memorabilia centers around Bert’s love for Disc Golf, inclusive of commemorative items worthy of any disc golfer’s collection.

Bert’s participation in this year’s Discraft Great Lakes Open is not just about watching the best Disc Golf pros in the world; Bert is also lending his celebrity status to a good cause. He will be a part of the Paul McBeth Foundation Play with the Champs charity event scheduled for Wednesday, 8/16.
