Starlight Children’s Foundation wins British F1® Allwyn Global Community Award to make hospital stays kinder for children

F1® Allwyn Global Community Award 2026

The F1® Allwyn Global Community Award 2026 trophy presented to Jonny Wright and Laura Walsh from winning local charity Starlight Children’s Foundation at the FORMULA 1® PIRELLI BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2026 at Silverstone, UK.

SILVERSTONE, United Kingdom, July 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Starlight Children’s Foundation has been named the British winner of the F1^® Allwyn Global Community Award at the FORMULA 1^® PIRELLI BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2026. The charity, which helps critically ill children in hospital play, laugh and do the things they love while receiving treatment, has been awarded €100,000 from Allwyn AG, the multi-national lottery-led entertainment company whose UK subsidiary operates The National Lottery. The Award will help Starlight to further its innovative approach to children’s care.

Many children in the UK are struggling with the emotional weight of medical care, with around 1.4 million vulnerable to healthcare-related trauma*. For a child, fear can feel overwhelming, often leading to deep distress that can make their treatment journey much harder and leave lasting marks on their wellbeing. However, Starlight creates moments of escape from these difficult situations.

The €100,000 donation from Allwyn will further Starlight’s pioneering pilot project – the introduction of the new ‘Health Play Practice Educator’ role to embed consistent play-informed care across the NHS, through activities and experiences. It will also facilitate the training of up to 1,000 professionals in specialised care. Starlight was commended by the judging panel for its spirit of innovation – a value shared by both Allwyn and Formula 1 – as well as the project’s scalability and potential for other organisations to replicate.

Alastair Ruxton, Chief Impact Officer at Allwyn UK and F1^® Allwyn Global Community Award judge, said: “We are proud to award the F1^® Allwyn Global Community Award to the Starlight Children’s Foundation. As judges, we were impressed by their spirit of innovation and their pioneering approach to tackling healthcare-related trauma many children face. Allwyn is proud to champion this kind of bold, systemic change, and it demonstrates how the impact of our global programme extends far beyond the racetrack.”

Cathy Gilman, CEO, Starlight said: “We are thrilled and deeply honoured to receive the F1^® Allwyn Global Community Award. Hospitals and medical procedures can be incredibly scary and traumatising for children, but our new role will help hospitalised children understand, cope, and heal. This incredible €100,000 donation from Allwyn will directly fund our ambition to make hospital stays kinder and treatments gentler for seriously ill children.”

Ellen Jones, Head of ESG at Formula 1 and F1^® Allwyn Global Community Award judge, added: “At Formula 1^®, we are committed to leveraging our platform to drive transformative change within our local communities. The Starlight Children’s Foundation aligns closely with our broader social impact priorities, especially our commitment to using bold, innovative approaches to solve complex challenges in areas such as healthcare. Its new ‘Health Play Practice Educator’ role offers a scalable model for long-term impact.”

Starlight Children’s Foundation is the third non-profit to be recognised by the F1^® Allwyn Global Community Award in 2026. Following a highly successful inaugural year in 2025, this year’s programme launched in May with Canadian charity La Tablée des Chefs winning the first Award at the FORMULA 1^® LENOVO GRAND PRIX DU CANADA for its vital work in fighting food insecurity, by recovering and redistributing meals to vulnerable families. Last week, Allwyn awarded Austrian non-profit Sindbad Mentoring at the FORMULA 1^® LENOVO AUSTRIAN GRAND PRIX 2026 to supercharge its mission to level the playing field for young people, boost social mobility and inspire them to pursue their dream career pathways, especially in STEM.

More NGOs will be recognised across the Grand Prix race locations this season in the Netherlands, Austin, Mexico City and Las Vegas. Later in the year, Formula 1^® fans will have the chance to cast their vote on their favourite winning initiatives as part of Allwyn’s plan to bring these fans closer to the programme.

Jeppesen ForeFlight Unveils Agentic AI Strategy and Engine for the Aviation Industry

Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow

New Solutions for Every Aviation Segment Launching in 2026
Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow Introduced as Company’s Aviation Intelligence Engine

AUSTIN, Texas, July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jeppesen ForeFlight today unveiled its aviation-centric AI engine, the foundation of its strategy to bring responsible artificial intelligence to all sectors of aviation. Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow has been developed over the last several years, backed by decades of deep domain experience, industry-leading data, and capabilities spanning crew and fleet planning, day-of-flight operations, and flight deck solutions.

Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow is the foundational agentic AI engine combining commercially available data, segregated proprietary customer data, and extensive domain knowledge including safety, certification expertise, and contextual reasoning across every aviation market. Built on an open architecture and designed to be model agnostic, Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow gives customers full flexibility in how they adopt AI, whether by integrating their own agents, leveraging third-party solutions, or deploying Jeppesen ForeFlight’s native agents. Customers can move at their own pace, at lower cost, and with as much or as little human control over key decisions as their operations require. This flexibility, paired with the company’s reach across crew, fleet, operations, and flight deck performance, distinguishes Jeppesen ForeFlight from generic AI platforms and single-point solutions.

The company is already previewing its first product in the General Aviation market, the ForeFlight AI Connector, an MCP server connecting ForeFlight Mobile to a customer’s existing OpenAI ChatGPT environment. Users can query their personal AI for flight plans and refueling options, or build AI-connected tools and workflows using their data in ForeFlight Mobile. The company intends to expand this feature to other popular AI applications such as Google’s Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude so users can use the experience layer of their choosing.

Later this year, Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow will debut its first offerings to the Commercial and Business aviation segments, with military-focused capabilities to follow.

“General AI is confident, but often wrong. In our industry, these mistakes cascade into costly, dangerous, or catastrophic outcomes. Artificial intelligence is not enough for this industry, we need aviation intelligence: the assurance that the right data, right context, and right reasoning are applied every time, and always cross-checked and filtered through industry safety and governance protocols,” said Brad Surak, CEO, Jeppesen ForeFlight. “We have helped the industry evolve from paper to digital to mobile, and we are bringing to market a highly differentiated AI offering in Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow that customers can deploy on their own terms and timelines, at significantly lower IT costs than previous industry transitions.”

Unlike other aviation industry approaches, Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow differentiates and delivers in five critically important areas:

Reasons in Context – Trusted workflows that fully grasp how the aviation industry actually operates, not just what tended to happen last time.
Reasons from Certified Inputs – Provenanced intelligence: every outcome carries the regulatory authority and certified accuracy of Jeppesen ForeFlight’s longstanding aviation data and capabilities that much of the industry already relies on for safe and optimized operations.
Carries a Visible Why-Trail – Every recommendation reveals the underlying causal logic, from specific inputs and operational constraints through evaluated alternatives and associated uncertainty. This auditable decision trace creates a continuous improvement cycle, improving outcomes over time.
Operates Inside the company’s Safety Management System (SMS) – built on the safety framework aviation already runs on via our patent-pending Aviation Intelligence SMS (AI-SMS).
Human-centered Judgments – AI handles the volume. Customers select how much automation they need, with an assurance that humans remain in control of decision-making wherever necessary.

“We are leveraging decades of experience delivering data and software solutions globally, which compounds virtually every second on the 60 million flights we serve annually. But most importantly, our AI earns trust one decision at a time,” Surak added.

Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow aviation context graph is the most authoritative record of how aviation operates. When our AI reasons from this foundation, every output inherits that regulatory provenance that is purpose-built within Jeppesen ForeFlight’s AI SMS: encompassing hazard identification, safety trend analysis, predictive risk modeling, and the integration of operational data with safety records in ways traditional tools cannot support.

Operators interested in early co-development access should contact their Jeppesen ForeFlight account executive or visit ai.jeppesenforeflight.com.

About Jeppesen ForeFlight

Jeppesen ForeFlight provides the data, software, and insights that power every segment of aviation. Pilots, operators, and flight crews trust us to plan, navigate, monitor, and optimize more than 60 million commercial, military, business, and general aviation flights each year. Our platforms support crew, fleet, and flight planning; network and operations management; and flight deck solutions. Our navigation data remains the global standard. From inventing paper charts a century ago to leading today’s AI-enabled era, we deliver deep domain expertise with unmatched insights as the platform for the aviation industry.

Bitget Launches TradFi 101 to Prepare Users for the Universal Exchange Era

VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched TradFi 101, a long-term educational initiative designed to help crypto users understand traditional financial markets and navigate the growing intersection between digital assets and global finance. The program introduces structured learning resources covering financial foundations, asset classes, market mechanics, macroeconomics, risk management, and the evolution of multi-asset investing.

As tokenized assets become more accessible and investors increasingly participate across crypto, equities, commodities, ETFs, and real-world assets, financial literacy is becoming an essential skill for market participants. TradFi 101 is designed for a market environment where crypto-native investors can learn the drivers behind stocks, commodities, currencies, and capital flows.

Built with an education-first approach, TradFi 101 is designed as an open industry initiative that brings together exchanges, media platforms, researchers, educators, and creator communities to make financial education more accessible. Current participating and invited ecosystem contributors include Coin Bureau, CoinGecko, and TradingView among others.

“Financial markets are becoming increasingly connected, and traders are already navigating more than a single asset class,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Crypto investors today pay attention to interest rates, inflation, equities, commodities, and global liquidity alongside digital assets. As tokenization expands access to financial markets, understanding how these systems work together becomes increasingly important. TradFi 101 was created to make that knowledge more accessible and help users prepare for a future where traditional and digital assets exist within the same investment landscape.”

TradFi 101 consists of six learning modules released through a structured curriculum and supported by weekly educational content, community participation, and assessments. The program will answer 100 essential financial questions through simplified lessons designed for crypto audiences. Modules include Financial Foundations: Rediscover TradFi, Asset Encyclopedia: Your Global Wealth Checklist, Market Mechanics: How Trading Happens, Macroeconomics: The Invisible Hand, Risk & Human Nature: The Trader’s Mindset, and Universal Exchange: The Final Form of Finance.

The final module explores the convergence of traditional and digital assets within a unified trading environment. As the world’s largest Universal Exchange, Bitget already provides access to more than 2 million crypto tokens alongside over 10,000 US stocks, 500+ tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, foreign exchange products, and precious metals. TradFi 101 examines how tokenization is expanding access to global markets and why a broader understanding of finance will become increasingly valuable in the years ahead.

TradFi 101 is designed as a long-term initiative that contributes to the industry’s broader effort to improve financial literacy for the multi-asset era. By bringing together educational contributors from across the ecosystem, the program aims to help the next generation of traders build the knowledge needed to participate more confidently in an increasingly connected financial system.

From Crypto to Gold: UEX Launches First Cross-Asset Trading Tournament

Bitget Limited

VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched the UEX Futures League, a new trading competition that brings crypto and traditional financial markets into a single competitive format. Spanning two months and two asset classes, the league creates a unified pathway from online qualification to the UEX Global Alpha Tournament (GAT), an invitation-only live championship event.

Most trading competitions today focus on a single market, whether crypto, forex, or CFDs. Yet trading itself has become increasingly cross-asset, with traders moving between cryptocurrencies, commodities, indices, and currencies as opportunities emerge. The UEX Futures League is built around that reality, allowing participants to compete across multiple markets through one account, one competition structure, and one route to the finals.

The competition begins with a Crypto Futures stage running from June 1 to June 30, followed by a CFD stage from July 1 to July 31. Each stage features a prize pool of 120,000 USDT and uses a captain-led team format where participants compete on ROI while representing their teams. The top eight teams from each stage will qualify for the UEX Global Alpha Tournament.

“Trading has always been competitive, but it’s also one of the most social parts of our industry,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “The UEX Futures League brings those elements together by turning trading into a team experience where users can collaborate and represent their communities. By bringing crypto and traditional markets into a single competition, we’re creating something that’s not just about performance, but about the people and connection that make trading so engaging.”

The UEX Global Alpha Tournament will bring together 16 qualifying teams, each represented by their top three traders, for an all-expenses-paid trip to a secret destination. Teams will compete in a series of live trading rounds for a grand prize, transforming online performance into a live championship experience. By combining crypto, CFDs, team-based competition, and live finals, UEX introduces a new format that draws inspiration from esports while reflecting how modern traders increasingly operate across multiple asset classes.

The league serves as a practical showcase of UEX’s broader vision, where crypto, commodities, foreign exchange products, indices, and other global markets exist within a unified trading environment. Rather than introducing users to these markets through tutorials or demonstrations, the competition allows participants to explore them through real trading activity and competition.

Registration for the UEX Futures League is now open. For more information, visit here.

Toblerone Presents ” The Ultimate Gift “: The Toblerone Crystal Bar crafted by Swarovski

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 July 2026 – An iconic Swiss chocolate brand meets one of the world’s most celebrated names in crystal artistry to bring ‘Never Square’ to life. Creating something unexpected, something beautiful, and something that gives back: Toblerone today announces The Ultimate Gift.

The Making of – Toblerone Crystal Bar crafted by Swarovski

https://youtu.be/txjoIWR1qFY?si=WzWpC8JfeDwjQ1EI

The centrepiece is the Toblerone Crystal Bar crafted by Swarovski: an exceptionally rare series of hand-made crystal replicas of the original Toblerone chocolate bar – the gift many associate with travel. Familiar in form. Remarkable in execution. Individually numbered, certified, and utterly one-of-a-kind.

The Ultimate Gift: A Global Auction for Good

From 1st July to 31st July 2026, travellers passing through some of the world’s most iconic airports (Athens, Delhi, Doha, Dubai, Frankfurt, Madrid, New York JFK, Singapore and Zurich) will encounter a mesmerising pop-up experience celebrating both brands and, above all, will have the chance to bid in person on the Toblerone Crystal Bar crafted by Swarovski.

Toblerone Crystal Bar crafted by Swarovski

Each auction is linked to the airport’s own established charity partner – organisations already embedded in their local communities and chosen by the airports themselves. 100% of winning bids will be donated to the designated charity at each location.

However, the auction is open to everyone globally. No need to be travelling to take part. Bidding is available online (terms and conditions apply), click here to visit the auction site and here for more information on the charities.

The Story Behind the Crystal Bar

Toblerone was born in Switzerland in 1908. Its triangular shape has made it one of the most recognised silhouettes in the world. For generations of travellers, it has been the gift you bring home: a small but indulgent, reliable piece of Switzerland.

To bring the Toblerone Crystal Bar to life, Toblerone turned to Swarovski. Swarovski delivers a diverse portfolio of unmatched quality, craftsmanship, and creativity. Founded in 1895 in Austria, the company designs, manufactures and markets high-quality crystals and created stones as well as finished products such as jewelry.

The two share more than Alpine geography. They share a belief that quality is not a detail but it is the point. That the things worth making are worth making properly. And that some of the most enduring objects in the world are the ones that manage to be both beautiful and, somehow, completely unpretentious about it.

The result is the Toblerone Crystal Bar crafted by Swarovski: Toblerone’s unmistakable triangular form, unapologetically rich on the inside, reimagined as a luxury artefact through Swarovski’s crystal craftsmanship.

Iain Livingston, President Toblerone & World Travel Retail, says: “Toblerone has always been more than a chocolate bar. It’s a ritual, a symbol of travel, and one of the world’s most recognised gifts. Creating the Toblerone Crystal Bar crafted by Swarovski feels like a natural expression of who we are: a brand that takes quality seriously but never takes itself too seriously. The Ultimate Gift is exactly that and will raise funds to support brilliant causes that help make the world a better place.”

The Craft Behind the Crystal

Each Toblerone Crystal Bar crafted by Swarovski is exclusively designed and developed using Swarovski’s rich savoir-faire:

Modelled on the original Toblerone chocolate bar & manufactured in Austria
Each weighs 851g and measures 305mm in length
546 individually cut facets per bar
140 hours of development and 65 hours of production – 100% handmade
Crafted with high-precision cutting technology, characterised by unmatched brilliance

The Ultimate Gift Box: Available to All

For those who prefer to take something home immediately, Toblerone is also launching a limited-edition Ultimate Gift Box adorned with Swarovski crystals, available exclusively in World Travel Retail throughout the campaign period across airports globally.

Inside: a Milk Toblerone bar.

Crystals on the outside. Unapologetically rich on the inside. The answer, as ever, to the question every traveller eventually asks themselves at the airport: “Where is my Toblerone?”

About Toblerone

In 1908, Theodor Tobler and Emil Baumann invented a unique chocolate: Toblerone. “Toblerone” is a portmanteau of “Tobler” and “Torrone,” the Italian term for honey-almond nougat. Its distinctive triangular shape has been recognised around the world ever since. Today, production remains based in Bern Brünnen, where employees work with great passion every day — producing up to 4 million Toblerone products daily, with around 90 percent of all Toblerone sold worldwide manufactured right there in Bern.

Toblerone has never been square. Not in shape. Not in spirit. And not in ambition. Never Square is the belief that the best things in life refuse to conform — and that the most interesting gifts are rarely the obvious ones.
