OKLAHOMA CITY – Jones Public Relations has selected Altheus Therapeutics as the first recipient of its Community Agency of Record Effort, or CARE, grant.

In honor of Jones Public Relations’ 10th anniversary, the communications firm in November announced a request for proposal for a small Oklahoma-based bioscience company with national potential.

“Oklahoma is at the cusp of becoming a national hub for the bioscience industry, and this is one of the top priority industries for the state,” said Brenda Jones Barwick, president of Jones Public Relations. “With our national marketing strength, we will be able to provide Altheus Therapeutics services that will help promote their company, products and clinical trials.”

Jones Public Relations will provide Altheus Therapeutics with media planning, message development, creative services and executive counsel at no cost.

Oklahoma City-based Altheus Therapeutics was founded in 2006 by Richard Harty. The pharmaceutical development company was established to develop therapies for inflammatory bowel disease. Altheus has completed a Phase 1 study of Zoenasa Rectal Suspension and will begin a large, multi-center Phase 2 clinical trial in early 2012.

The Super Bowl is right around the corner. In fact, for those of you who are big Giants or Patriots fans, you probably know the exact countdown to kickoff. Having lived in the Sooner State for four years of my life, I am pretty much committed to the Sooners, so NFL isn't always my thing. I'll tell you what is my thing- finding the best new snacks and appetizers to feed everyone that comes over for the big game. Hey guess what, there's an app for that!

The All Recipes Dinner Spinner is awesome! I love that these recipes are easy, yet interesting...often times Super Bowl parties have the same boring snack food. This year, our guests will be full on pickled mushrooms, chicken and shrimp egg rolls and crispy cheese straws! It's free to download and has a fun interface where you choose the type of food you want, ingredients to include and level of ease...these choices make game day food even more fun!

For those of you who have Verizon Wireless smartphones, the VZW NFL Mobile app might honestly save the day! Not everyone has the luxury of sitting down in front of a giant tv to watch the big game, but with the help of NFL Mobile, you access live game audio, real time scores, stats and highlights. Just download this free app directly to your smartphone and stress a little less if you're stuck at work all afternoon!

Definitely looking forward to Super Bowl this year! What are some of your favorite superbowl apps?

OKLAHOMA CITY – Harkins Bricktown Theatres has formed a sponsorship partnership with Citizens Caring for Children, a nonprofit agency that provides clothing, school supplies and other necessities to foster children around the state.

“We provide opportunities for the community to connect with foster children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect,” said Amy Mitchell, executive director of Citizens Caring for Children. “Sometimes they literally have nothing but the clothing on their backs and need basic things like shoes; others need a support system to help them through the tough times. Through this partnership with Harkins, we hope to spread our message and continue to help the children of our state.”

Harkins will run advertisements for Citizens Caring for Children in its theaters, as well as coordinating fundraising opportunities and private screenings for mentors. – Staff report
