Celebrating 10 years of honoring exceptional leadership in sustainability, global citizenship, and education

SEOUL, South Korea, April 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Sunhak Peace Prize Ceremony took place on Friday, April 11, at the Crystal Ballroom of Lotte Hotel World, Seoul, attended by over 750 international guests, including global leaders, former heads of state, and prominent civil society representatives. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Prize honored three distinguished leaders for their significant contributions in environmental sustainability, global citizenship, and educational innovation.

Wanjira Mathai from Kenya was recognized for her outstanding environmental leadership, notably through the AFR100 initiative and the Green Belt Movement. Her dedicated efforts have contributed significantly to environmental restoration, with over 51 million trees planted to rehabilitate degraded landscapes across Africa.

Hugh Evans from Australia, co-founder and CEO of Global Citizen, received the prize for his exceptional commitment to global citizenship. Through his leadership, Global Citizen mobilized over $43 billion, directly impacting the lives of more than 1.3 billion individuals worldwide by addressing poverty, health, education, and access to essential services.

Patrick Awuah Jr., founder of Ashesi University in Ghana, was honored for transforming African higher education. His visionary leadership introduced innovative curricula emphasizing ethics, gender equality, critical thinking, and leadership. Ashesi University is now recognized as a pioneering institution, producing graduates equipped to lead positive social change across Africa and beyond.

The Founders' Award was presented to former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan for his contributions to peaceful democratic transitions and good governance, and Samuel Radebe from South Africa for his dedication to interreligious harmony and community peace in Africa. Meanwhile, the awarding of the Founders' Award to Xanana Gusmão, Prime Minister of Timor-Leste, was postponed due to unavoidable circumstances.

In his congratulatory remarks, former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stated, "On its 10th anniversary, the Sunhak Peace Prize continues to spotlight the vital contributions of unsung heroes to global peace and solidarity. I deeply commend the laureates for their inspiring dedication and extend heartfelt gratitude to Founder Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon for her visionary leadership and unwavering support of global peace efforts."

The brand unveils part two of a multichapter campaign to highlight TUMI's lightest hardside collection to date

NEW YORK, May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, international travel and lifestyle brand TUMI debuts 19 Degree Lite with chapter two of the "Uncompromisingly Light" campaign starring Lando Norris, longstanding TUMI Global Brand Ambassador and world-renowned McLaren Formula 1 Team Driver. 

In this dynamic campaign featuring the all-new collection, TUMI expands upon the feeling of lightness 19 Degree Lite inspires. The brand's meticulous attention to detail—from lighter dual wheels to featherweight zippers—allows Lando to move with ease.

"Working and traveling with TUMI is always incredible, and this campaign made my first trip to Lake Como unforgettable," said Lando Norris. "Exploring the beautiful landscape was effortless with 19 Degree Lite by my side—it's an experience I won't soon forget."

Directed by Keane Pearce Shaw and photographed by Emma Panchot, the campaign was filmed in Lake Como and brought to life through Lando's personal experience and perspective. As Lando explores the iconic Villa Erba and maneuvers down cobblestone streets, the film captures the effortless movement of 19 Degree Lite, echoing the freedom and agility of being behind the wheel.

"19 Degree Lite represents our continued dedication to creating products that effortlessly accompany our customers on their journeys," said Creative Director Victor Sanz. "As a champion driver with an unmatched passion for precision and design, Lando was the perfect fit for the second chapter of our campaign. Watching him interact with our products is captivating—the way he moves with such ease and agility is a testament to the natural flow, dynamic ease and control he consistently displays both on and off the track." 

The collection includes two packing cases: the Extended Trip 4 Wheeled Packing Case and the Short Trip 4 Wheeled Packing Case, and two carry-ons: the International 4 Wheeled Carry-On and the Continental 4 Wheeled Carry-On. Available in the following core colors: Blush, Titanium Grey and Black Graphite with additional seasonal colors Amber and Cobalt, the all-new collection ranges in price from $795-$995 USD.

Featured in the campaign alongside 19 Degree Lite is TUMI's coveted TUMI | McLaren collaboration in a fresh new colorway, Super Grey, inspired by McLaren's bestselling hue, Supernova Silver. Other silhouettes included come from TUMI's iconic collections Harrison, Alpha Bravo and Turin.

The lightest addition to the world of 19 Degree—19 Degree Lite—is available at TUMI stores worldwide and on TUMI.com. Stay tuned for exclusive behind-the-scenes content from the campaign on @TUMITravel social channels.
