Toyota and Hang Media Partner to Offer a Grand New and Connected Way to Watch The HBCU NY Classic From MetLife Stadium

NEW YORK, N.Y -- Toyota, whose first‐ever 2024 Grand Highlander SUV touts "the best views from every row," will be offering fans the best viewing experience when Morehouse College faces Albany State University in the 2nd annual HBCU NY Classic football game at MetLife Stadium on Saturday, September 16. Teaming with HANG, the leading fan-athlete community, Toyota will be hosting a virtual watch party in which fans will mingle with athletes and celebrities in a video chat room while watching the action on TV. Howard University Class of '22 graduate and multiple Emmy nominee Anthony Anderson, and Morehouse alums Isaac Keys, the actor and former NFL star and Edwin Moses, the renowned track and field champion, will watch from a Toyota suite at the game.

Anderson will be flipping the coin at the start of the game, which Toyota is sponsoring for the second straight year. He'll then head up to a skybox to socialize with fellow alums for what will be his fourth HANG party, following two HBCU Celebration Bowl HANGS as well as the Kentucky Derby. Isaac Keys- an ex‐linebacker who appreciates every inch of extra space-will be showcasing the roomier‐than‐ever 2024 Grand Highlander at Toyota's pre‐game YardFest at MetLife.

Joining Anderson, Keys and Moses virtually will be HBCU legend Aeneas Williams (NFL Hall of Famer and Southern University alum) as well as current NFL standouts Grover Stewart (Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle and Albany State graduate), Joshua Williams (Kansas City Chiefs cornerback and Fayetteville State alum) and University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff graduates Terron Armstead (Miami Dolphins four‐time Pro Bowl left tackle) and his protégé, Mark Evans II (New Orleans Saints rookie offensive tackle).

Hundreds of thousands of HBCU supporters are expected to join the HANG either on camera, via text thread or by watching the live stream on YouTube, Facebook Live or Twitch.

"Toyota and HANG are a natural fit," said William Moore, VP/Media Director with Burrell Communications Group. "HANG watch parties create a comfortable space for the whole family to enjoy an amazing experience-just like the new Grand Highlander does. We're thrilled to be hosting an HBCU 'family reunion' where committed alumni, students and parents across the country can join the HBCU NY Classic without ever leaving home, while asking questions and swapping stories with legendary classmates and heroes. There's room to spare in a HANG, and in a Grand Highlander."

"The entire media industry is eager to engage audiences directly, and HANG has been ahead of the pack in understanding the power of eliminating the middleman," said Jon Klein, HANG's co‐founder and CEO and the former president of CNN/US. "We've learned that the glue connecting athletes, fans and brands is love-the fans' love of their teams and favorite players; the athletes' love of getting out from under the helmet to reveal the fully‐formed person inside and everyone's love of products that make their lives easier and more fun."

About Toyota

Toyota (NYSE:TM) has been a part of the cultural fabric in North America for more than 65 years, and is committed to advancing sustainable, next‐generation mobility through our Toyota and Lexus brands, plus our more than 1,800 dealerships.

Planet Defense LLC and UniDoc Health Corporation Collaborate to Deliver Smart Health Remote Clinics to Rural and Underserved Populations in the USA

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Planet Defense, a global leader in smart healthcare solutions, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with UniDoc Health Corporation (UniDoc), a North American-based firm renowned for its cutting-edge healthcare technologies. Together, the two companies will build and deploy Smart Health Remote Clinics - first in the State of Alaska and then nationwide - that overcome the numerous healthcare disparities faced by underserved populations.

This collaboration will truly revolutionize the access that such challenged communities have to quality healthcare and will make it possible for even the most vulnerable populations to consistently receive essential, first-rate medical services resulting in improved patient outcomes.

Planet Defense, in collaboration with a consortium of technology and healthcare partners, will conduct a first-of-its-kind pilot project utilizing UniDoc's state-of-the-art products in the State of Alaska. This pilot will allow both firms to assess the operational effectiveness and social impacts of those deployed Smart Health Remote Clinics as they work towards the broader goal of delivering these same types of clinics nationwide. To ensure the successful implementation of this initiative and to gather valuable insights for future expansion, Planet Defense and UniDoc will work closely with local healthcare organizations, community leaders, native corporations, and government agencies in Alaska and other US states. By fostering such strong relationships, both businesses aim to tailor these Smart Health Remote Clinics to the specific needs of rural and native populations along with other underserved communities so as to achieve healthcare that is culturally sensitive and patient-centric.

Cutting-edge technologies including state-of-the-art medical devices installed within the Smart Health Remote Clinics will offer patients a wide range of medical services such as primary care, specialized consultations, chronic disease management, and preventive care. These real-time, in-person and telehealth consultations, as well as effective diagnostics, treatments, and monitoring options will aid patients in better managing their health and wellness conditions. By leveraging such advanced capabilities, these clinics will bridge the gaps currently existing between patients from rural and underserved populations and their healthcare providers. Each deployed clinic will be staffed with a registered nurse (RN) and a qualified technology specialist.

Dr. Indu Singh, President and CEO of Planet Defense LLC, stated, "Rural and underserved populations utilizing our Smart Health Remote Clinics will greatly benefit from this collaborative effort which will then lead to accessible, equitable, and inclusive healthcare for all regardless of location or socioeconomic status. By bringing advanced healthcare services directly into underserved communities, our creative and effective solutions will successfully address the challenges of geographical distance, transportation limitations, and the lack of healthcare infrastructure in remote areas. Doing so will have a very positive impact on communities in need - improving patient healthcare outcomes and enhancing patients' overall well-being."

Expressing his enthusiasm for this innovative endeavor, Mr. Antonio Baldassarre, UniDoc's President and CEO, said, "We are delighted to work hand in hand with Planet Defense. This partnership is an important milestone in our mission to improve healthcare delivery. By combining our extensive technological experience and capabilities with Planet Defense's proven smart strategic leadership and systems integration, we are confident that together we will make a very visible and measurable difference in the lives of native and underserved populations throughout America."
