SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, May 20, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — What began in 1996 with twelve cancer survivors carrying handwritten flags to the summit of Utah’s highest peak has grown into one of the state’s most powerful annual traditions, presented by Survivor Wellness. This July, Survivors at the Summit celebrates its 30th year — a milestone that speaks not just to the longevity of an event, but to three decades of resilience, community, and hope in the face of cancer.

On Sunday, July 12, 2026, up to 400 participants will gather at Brighton Resort in the Wasatch Mountains for the landmark event presented by Survivor Wellness, Salt Lake City’s nonprofit dedicated to providing free services and support for cancer survivors and caregivers. Registration opens May 15 and sells out each year.

The story of Survivors at the Summit began in the summer of 1996, when the founding members of Cancer Wellness House — a group of local oncologists, cancer survivors, and community advocates — set out on a three-day journey to the top of King’s Peak, the highest point in Utah. Carrying flags inscribed with the names of loved ones impacted by cancer, ten of the twelve cancer survivors in the group reached the summit. At the top, names were read aloud — some into walkie-talkies so those at base camp could hear. Tears were shed. A tradition was born.

The following year, the event was officially christened “Survivors at the Summit,” and in 1997, those same founders established Cancer Wellness House — now Survivor Wellness — in a donated home at 59 South 1100 East in Salt Lake City, offering cancer survivors something that hospitals of that era rarely provided: group support, counseling, yoga, meditation, and therapeutic bodywork in a welcoming, home-like setting.

By 1998, the iconic yellow Tribute Flags — donated by Jack Kirkham of Springbar Tents and screen-printed by students at Skyline High School — became the enduring symbol of the event, their bright banners streaming from mountain peaks with messages of love, hope, and remembrance. For the next 25 years, the Celebration of Life under those flags became a sacred annual ritual at Snowbird Resort. In 2024, Survivors at the Summit began a new chapter at Brighton Resort in Big Cottonwood Canyon, drawing its largest and most diverse crowds yet.

In 2025, Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall issued a formal Mayoral Proclamation declaring the event day “Survivors at the Summit Day” in Salt Lake City — an official recognition of the profound impact this community has made over three decades.

The 30th Annual Survivors at the Summit will unfold across a full day of mountain activities, community, and ceremony. The event is open to all ages and abilities and features: thousands of bright yellow Tribute Flags carried and displayed across Brighton’s peaks; a moving Celebration of Life held beneath the Tribute Flag display; guided hikes, mountain biking, and rides on the Majestic Lift; live music, Mountain Breakfast and Summit Lunch; restorative wellness activities and nature walks; a Silent Auction and exclusive event merchandise; and transportation available from the welcome area to the main event.

Registration opened May 15, 2026. Tickets are limited to 400 participants and the event sells out every year — early registration is strongly encouraged.

Early Bird Registration (May 15 – June 30):

General Admission — $15

General Admission and Tribute Flag — $30

Ticket price includes Mountain Breakfast, Summit Lunch, and one lift ride.

NEW YORK, N.Y., May 19, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As demand for summer home renovations and household upgrades continues to grow, online savings platform Valuecom today announced the launch of its new “Summer Home Shopping Deals Hub,” designed to bring together the latest promo codes and discounts from home, furniture, building materials, and lifestyle brands in one centralized destination.

The new section aims to help consumers reduce overall spending on home improvement projects by making it easier to discover verified savings opportunities across a wide range of shopping categories.

In recent years, more consumers have shifted toward purchasing furniture, appliances, home improvement materials, and outdoor products through online channels. However, navigating large volumes of promotional information and finding legitimate discounts remains a time-consuming and often frustrating process. Valuecom stated that the new deals hub is intended to simplify that experience through a more organized and efficient savings platform.

The Summer Home Shopping Deals Hub covers multiple seasonal shopping scenarios, including home renovation projects, bedroom upgrades, kitchen essentials, office space improvements, and outdoor patio and garden setups. Consumers can use the platform to quickly search for updated discounts from various brands and retailers while staying informed about seasonal promotions.

“Summer is traditionally one of the busiest periods for home improvement and home shopping activities,” said a spokesperson for Valuecom. “We want to help consumers spend less time searching for deals while providing a more reliable and transparent savings experience during major home purchasing decisions.”

According to market research trends, consumer interest in online home shopping discounts has continued growing over the past two years. During seasonal promotions and major retail campaigns, more shoppers are actively searching for promo codes and limited-time offers to reduce household expenses.

Valuecom continuously updates promotional offers across major retail categories to improve deal discovery for consumers. In addition to aggregating discounts from popular retailers, the platform focuses on improving coupon usability and update frequency to reduce the frustration caused by expired or invalid offers.

Beyond traditional coupon services, Valuecom is also enhancing the overall shopping support experience through clearer deal categorization, faster brand search functionality, and seasonal shopping recommendation features designed to help consumers find relevant savings opportunities more efficiently.

As shoppers continue placing greater importance on pricing transparency and shopping efficiency, Valuecom stated that it plans to expand partnerships with additional home and lifestyle brands while further improving personalized savings recommendations for users worldwide.

NEW YORK, N.Y., May 19, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As inflation and rising living expenses continue to affect household budgets across the United States, American consumers are increasingly changing the way they shop online. PromoCodie, a U.S.-focused online coupon and savings platform, recently released new consumer trend insights showing how shoppers are becoming more strategic in their efforts to reduce e-commerce spending.

Image caption: PromoCodie.

According to PromoCodie’s market observations, more consumers are actively searching for promo codes, seasonal discounts, cashback opportunities, and limited-time offers before completing online purchases. What was once considered optional savings behavior is now becoming a routine part of the digital shopping process.

The report highlights that consumers are no longer only looking for luxury discounts or holiday sales. Instead, shoppers are increasingly seeking savings on everyday purchases, including household products, beauty items, electronics, clothing, subscription services, and travel bookings.

“Consumers today are approaching online shopping with a stronger focus on value and budgeting,” said a spokesperson for PromoCodie. “People are becoming more intentional about when they buy, where they shop, and whether they can apply verified discounts before checking out.”

One of the most noticeable changes identified by PromoCodie is the growing habit of delaying purchases until discounts become available. Many shoppers are now waiting for flash sales, weekend promotions, or retailer coupon events before placing orders. Others are comparing prices across multiple websites more frequently than in previous years.

The report also notes a significant increase in mobile-based coupon searches. More consumers are looking for discounts directly from their smartphones while shopping online, creating stronger demand for fast and easily accessible savings tools.

At the same time, consumers are becoming less tolerant of expired or misleading coupon codes. PromoCodie observed that reliability and transparency are becoming key factors influencing whether users continue using a savings platform. Shoppers increasingly prefer platforms that provide updated and verified offers instead of large quantities of outdated promotions.

Another trend highlighted in the report is the growing popularity of stacking savings opportunities. Consumers are combining promo codes with cashback offers, loyalty rewards, and seasonal sales to maximize value during checkout. This behavior has become especially common among younger digital-first shoppers.

Industry analysts believe inflation-driven spending awareness is likely to continue shaping online shopping habits throughout 2026. As consumers remain cautious about discretionary spending, demand for trustworthy savings tools and transparent pricing experiences is expected to increase further.

PromoCodie stated that it plans to continue improving its deal verification systems, expanding retailer coverage, and enhancing real-time offer updates to help consumers discover more reliable savings opportunities across major shopping categories.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., May 19, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Duke Energy Foundation announced it has awarded a $10,000 grant to The Jackson Copeland Foundation to help ensure families can afford essential living expenses following a blood cancer diagnosis. The grant is part of a larger commitment from Duke Energy Florida and its Foundation to support the vitality of the communities the company serves.

Image caption: The Jackson Copeland Foundation Awarded $10,000 Grant from Duke Energy Foundation.

“No one facing a blood cancer diagnosis should have to endure additional stress from the costs or logistics associated with treatment,” said Duke Energy Florida state president Melissa Seixas. “The Jackson Copeland Foundation is doing so much to help alleviate that burden for so many families here in our area. It’s an honor to support their important work.”

“A leukemia diagnosis shouldn’t mean a family loses their home while fighting for their life,” said Jeff Copeland, Founder & CEO of The Jackson Copeland Foundation. “This generous grant from the Duke Energy Foundation allows us to tackle the affordability crisis of blood cancer head-on, ensuring patients can secure temporary lodging and travel to life-saving treatments without facing financial ruin. They should be focused on the fight of their lives, not finances or foreclosure. This partnership ensures nobody fights this battle alone—Jackson would go, and so are we.”

There are only three National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers in Florida, so hundreds of Florida blood cancer patients must travel to receive treatment each year. Patients receiving a life-saving bone marrow or stem cell transplant, in particular, must secure short-term lodging for up to 100 days during treatment and recovery, which creates a massive affordability crisis for most families.

The $10,000 grant will be used to fund “bridge grants” to low- and moderate-income families within Duke Energy’s Florida service footprint who are battling blood cancer. This grant directly addresses those staggering logistical and financial challenges. By covering critical non-medical living expenses—such as primary housing maintenance (rent/mortgage), temporary medical lodging, and transportation costs—the funds ensure the affordability of basic needs during the most disruptive months of a patient’s treatment. This rapid-response financial relief helps families avoid eviction, foreclosure, and bankruptcy, preserving their economic mobility so they can focus entirely on healing.
