Tara Santosuosso / Chill Cryotherapy Pensacola

Tara Santosuosso started her business career as a software engineer, then took time out to raise her son Anthony. An avid tennis player and skier, Tara sustained a few injuries and had nagging aches and pains. While living in Dallas, she started using whole body cryotherapy for back and ankle injuries. Convinced that it helped her recovery, she looked for one around northwest Florida. But there was none close by. Chill Cryotherapy is the answer.

Tara’s husband Jeff has enjoyed a 25-year career working for some of the major international life sciences companies. With an MBA from Dartmouth and hands-on general management skills, he brings sound business practices and experiences to the team. An avid cyclist, runner, and skier, Jeff also uses cryotherapy for recovery and relief.

Tara and Jeff have lived in Pensacola since 2012 and are members of the Pensacola Chamber of Commerce.

 

WELCOME TO CHILL CRYOTHERAPY, PENSACOLA.

Cryotherapy is a whole-body exposure to sub-zero temperatures used to promote the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response, release endorphins, reduce pain and promote overall health. Cryotherapy is not a medical procedure, but a non-invasive alternative for individuals seeking faster recovery and improved health.

We have selected what we believe is the highest quality unit on the market today. It is manufactured by Impact Cryotherapy Inc. The  unit was designed and is built in the United States. It is a unit we can stand behind.

The unit is currently being used by pro golfers, teams like the New Orleans Saints, New Orleans Pelicans, Tampa Bay Rays, Miami Marlins, and Boston Red Sox. Now the NCAA is turning to Cryotherapy. Impact Cryotherapy has units installed at  University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, and Wake Forest, just to name a few.

We are in the process of setting up our retail location in downtown Pensacola. We look forward to opening in January. See how Cryotherapy can improve your health and well being.

Is Whole Body Cryotherapy right for you? Do you want to:

 Reduce Recovery Time and Muscle Soreness

 Manage Persistent Pain & Inflammation

 Relieve Symptoms of Depression & Anxiety

 Increase Metabolism & Weight Loss

Steven Reynolds and Tim Shipman / Cordova Lanes Bowling Center

Steve Reynolds is the owner of Cordova Lanes Bowling Center, which operates as a community center as much as a bowling and family entertainment center. Cordova Lanes is well known in Pensacola as the place that put ‘fun’ into fundraising, whether hosting a fundraising event at the lanes, or contributing auction items and door prizes to local events.

    Popular evening specials such as ‘penny-a-pin’ and the famous ‘kids bowl free all Summer’ are coupled with a reputation for quality that means Cordova Lanes hosts regional and NCAA tournaments.  They also host local business and networking groups, off-site working lunches for businesses and a flurry of Holiday and Christmas parties.

   The Reynolds family has been involved in Pensacola’s bowling scene for many decades. Steve’s father Bob opened Cordova Lanes in 1979. Since then, it has continued to flourish as a legacy of his philosophy that a business that becomes part of a community becomes an institution; a part of the fabric of that community.

WELCOME TO CORDOVA LANES!

let’s go bowling…

…or throw darts, or play poker, or have a great salad, or share your singing skills with the Karaoke bunch, or catch the big game…

You get my point? Cordova Lanes is a Bowling Center… as in Community Center. We have plenty of activities, but more importantly; we have the perfect vehicle to assist you in meeting your goals, both personal and professional.

Bowling is great fun, great exercise, and a great icebreaker. It’s perfect forfamily gatherings, school field trips, church socials, networking opportunities, fundraisers, dates, civic group meetings, weddings, and birthdays or celebrations of any kind!

Dennis Caire / Breast Cancer Research Foundation  Representative- HOT PINK WEEKEND in PENSACOLA, FL.

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to achieving prevention and a cure for breast cancer. We provide critical funding for cancer research worldwide to fuel advances in tumor biology, genetics, prevention, treatment, metastasis and survivorship.

BCRF is the highest rated breast cancer organization in the U.S. with an A+ rating from Charity Watch and 4 out of 4 stars from Charity Navigator.

Since our founding in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder, BCRF has raised more than half a billion dollars for lifesaving research. Through a unique and streamlined grants program, we seek out the brightest minds in science and medicine and give them the necessary resources to pursue their best ideas. As a result, researchers are able to make discoveries and design new approaches to address all aspects of breast cancer—and do so in record time.

 “Our goal is to accelerate the breakthroughs bringing us closer to a cure to speed up the progress that will improve survivorship and quality of life for breast cancer patients today.” – Myra J. Biblowit, President & CEO

In 2015-2016, BCRF will award $48.5 million in annual grants to over 240 scientists from top universities and medical institutions around the globe. In addition, $5.4 million has been committed to the international Founder’s Fundproject focused on metastasis. Every hour of research we fund improves outcomes and saves lives. But we still have more to do.

The thousands of women and men suffering from breast cancer today depend on us. No institution can conquer this disease alone. Together, we can.

I love Real Estate. I especially love the people I am able to help in Real Estate. It is of utmost importance to choose a Realtor® you can trust. Over the years, I have heard and experienced the results of trusting in a Realtor® that took advantage of their client or didn’t hold their client’s best interest above their own. I became a Realtor® because I am determined to be above average in ethics, standards, and integrity – which creates top-notch quality. I began a team to help meet all the various needs of all of those looking for quality in their real estate transaction. Your Key Impressions Team with ERA Old South Properties, only needs one chance to impress you.

Owner

This is your Crown Molding Solution

*Guaranteed to be the easiest crown molding you will ever install.
*Patented flat back design makes this a revolutionary product.
*Several different styles to choose from.
*Have you endured the frustrations of installing conventional crown molding?
*If you could only find a simple and affordable solution combined with easy installation?
*You have always wanted crown molding.
*Your customers have wanted crown molding.
*It’s time to give it to them.
*Simple and affordable.
Welcome to Emerald Coast Crown Molding.

Q.What exactly is this product? How does this foam differ from standard Styrofoam I might be most familiar with?

A. This is a high density polystyrene that is created in a high temperature, high pressure press unlike regular expanded foam moldings made by other manufacturers.This is not cooler foam, packaging foam, or styrofoam.  

  •  “Styrofoam” is a trademark of Dow Chemical.
  •  Styrofoam is not even an open cell foam. It is actually an extruded closed cell polystyrene material.” XPS”
  • “Styrofoam” is now a recognized name for EPS expanded polystyrene, XPS extruded polystyrene

            and even polyurethane crown moldings. When you search the web you will find all three.

 

  • EPS is an “Expanded Polystyrene”  foam like you see in drink coolers and corners protectors that go around products in boxes.

There are several densities of EPS foams. 

Example: 

  •   1 lb. foam means 1lbs. per cubic foot in weight. (soft)
  •   2 lb. foam means 2 lbs. per cubic foot in weight. (harder)

  Most likely you will not see any EPS greater that 2 Lb. for commercial use
and 1 lb. for packaging, hobby or household use.
  Our crown moldings are 4 Lb. density.

Amplifying The Voice Of Young Entrepreneurs
#pensacola #youngentrepreneurs #radio #businessradio

WHY

We believe Young Entrepreneurs are the future of our economy.  Pensacola Business Radio is absolutely committed to supporting these future leaders — and with just a little help from you, we can provide them with the same robust, full-scale “in-studio” Radio Show platform we make available to our Corporate clients, sponsors, and underwriters.

The Business RadioX ® Network has agreed to match Dollar for Dollar all funds raised from this campaign, provided . . .

  • We apply all funds to supporting Young Entrepreneurs in our community
  • We raise a minimum of $2,500 from our own community

What We Need & Want

  • What we WANT is $20,000 — which will fund Young Entrepreneur Radio for a full year.  To pull that off, we need to raise $10,000 (BRX Corporate will match that dollar for dollar to meet our $20k objective).
  • What we NEED is at least $2,500 so we qualify for the matching funds.

If we raise less than $2,500 . . . Every penny will still go to providing some version of Young Entrepreneur Radio.  It just means a much more modest program — like a monthly series vs. weekly show, and less budget for Remote Broadcasts, Radio Camp, Awards, and Scholarships.

We offer the latest in leading edge technology the telecommunications industry has to offer from IP, VOIP and hosted telephone systems, voice and data networking, local line service with unlimited local and long distance calling, and surveillance hardware. Our over 32 year track record demonstrates our commitment to our customers and our expertise in the communications industry. We have the solutions to fit your business.

This is a very complicated and confusing time in the communications industry.

The decision of what equipment to choose and the company with which to partner is a high priority matter, especially when those decisions have a direct impact on the success of your business. This is why we believe a relationship with Southeastern Telephone can be such a valuable asset to your company.
Our over thirty two year track record is an indication that we know the industry, service what we sell, and provide products that stand the test of time. Our experience in all facets of communications ensures a smooth and uneventful installation or service that will allow you to stay focused on your business and not the telecommunications business. At a time when many companies are treating telecom products and services as a commodity, we can only say that logically mission critical voice and data systems don’t fall into that category.
