PARIS, FRANCE – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 July 2025 – HERALBONY is proud to announce that it has been awarded the Gold Lion in the “Glass: The Lion for Change” category at the Cannes Lions 2025, the largest gathering of the creative communications industry. The agency representing artists with disabilities HERALBONY is a creative company that works with artists with disabilities. We craft unique brand experiences through art and storytelling, bringing inclusivity into business. By showcasing their unique expressions and sharing their narratives, we aim to change perceptions of disability and build a society where every ‘difference’ is valued. Managing a collection of over 2,000 artworks by neurodiverse artists, we ensure fair royalties and foster a sustainable business model. Our in-house brand, HERALBONY, produces high-quality products infused with artistry and craftsmanship. Additionally, we collaborate with companies to co-create inclusive experiences and creative projects. We also organize the HERALBONY Art Prize, an international award recognizing outstanding artists with disabilities. In July 2024, we established HERALBONY EUROPE in Paris—our first overseas subsidiary—to further expand our vision on a global scale. Jury President’s Comments from KR Liu (Global Head of Product Innovation & Marketing Partnerships for Platforms and Devices, Google) ‘Glass: The Lion for Change’ was established to celebrate campaigns that challenge gender inequality and stereotypes and drive societal and cultural change. This year, the scope of evaluation was expanded beyond gender to include disability, race, sexuality, and social inequality. Additionally, sustained, long-term impact was introduced as a new evaluation criterion, raising the standards even further. Through the judging process, I learned about HERALBONY for the first time. As I deepened my understanding of the project, I was deeply moved by how HERALBONY creates opportunities for people with disabilities to thrive as artists and creators. We were also highly impressed by HERALBONY’s collaborative work with companies to create significant social impact. Instead of merely growing its own brand, HERALBONY ventured into co-creation with other organizations—a remarkable move that allows for broader and more meaningful societal transformation. I truly hope HERALBONY continues this initiative moving forward. For more information, please click here.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 July 2025 – Methodist College Kuala Lumpur (MCKL) celebrated a major milestone on 5 July 2025 with the successful charity run, Dash for Charity at Taman Tasik Titiwangsa. The event saw close to 500 participants comprised of students, staff, alumni, partners, family, and friends who came together for a fun-filled 5KM run, all in the spirit of giving back to the community. At the break of dawn, families and friends gathered to enjoy live musical performances, food trucks, and children’s activities, creating a festive and heartwarming atmosphere in one of the city’s most luscious parks. A total of RM7,000 was raised for two charity organisations, a testament to the generosity and collective effort of everyone involved. Persatuan Kebajikan Sri Eden Selangor Kuala Lumpur, a non-profit centre that provides specialised education, therapy, and life skills training for children with special needs received RM4,000. While the remaining RM3,000 was channelled to Yayasan Sin Chew, a charitable foundation committed to supporting vulnerable communities across Malaysia through initiatives like disaster relief, medical assistance, and student sponsorships. These contributions will go a long way in supporting the work of both organisations and creating a meaningful impact in the lives of those they serve. “This run reflects MCKL’s core value of Celebrate Volunteerism, embodying our commitment to seek to serve, to actively look for and seize opportunities to help and make a positive impact on others,” said Dr. Chua Ping Yong, CEO of MCKL. “It’s about going the extra mile to make a difference in the lives of others, and we are proud to see our community unite for such a meaningful cause.” Though not a timed or competitive race, MCKL presented prizes to top three winners in two categories – individual and family. Top finishers were acknowledged with medals and hampers, rewarding them for their enthusiasm and effort. MCKL extends its heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors, German Educare, Monash University Malaysia, University of Nottingham Malaysia, and UOB Malaysia as well as all participants and crew members who made this event possible. “Without the amazing support from our sponsors, enthusiastic participants, and the dedicated event crew, Dash for Charity would not have been the success it was,” said the Chairman of the Organising Committee, Ng Jiehan. “Every contribution, whether it was a corporate sponsorship, a runner showing up bright and early, or a volunteer working tirelessly behind the scenes played a crucial role in making this event meaningful. It truly was a collective effort, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who came together to support our mission and make a real difference in the lives of those in need. Though the race is over, the spirit of giving continues in MCKL, and we look forward to more future initiatives that inspire change and strengthen community bonds,” Ng added. The run’s success extended beyond fundraising; it significantly elevated awareness for vital causes. The overwhelming support from participants, sponsors, and volunteers deeply motivates MCKL to champion further impactful initiatives. We believe in fostering an environment where education intersects with empathy, demonstrating how collective small steps can achieve profound differences.

Laura Sheard, Global Brand Director at Madame Tussauds, said: “Taylor Swift is a generational icon and a cultural powerhouse. Madame Tussauds has a centuries-old legacy of holding a mirror up to the world of fame, immortalising the profiles that are making an imprint on the day’s culture.

The phenomenal success of her record-smashing tour is the perfect moment for Madame Tussauds to immortalise with 13 figures – Taylor’s lucky number – across four continents to ensure we’re reaching as many fans as possible.
