The United Church of Christ is a protestant branch of Christianity that often holds liberal views compared to other church organizations. Women play an important role in this religion. Women of the church are expected to perform duties for the church and are referred to as being "on mission". These missions include praying for missionaries, educating other women, seeking justice for the most vulnerable, traveling on global missions, and spreading the word of God.

The BACCHUS & GAMMA Peer Education Network was an initiative of the Bacchus Group, which started as a student organization, organized in response to the need for alcohol awareness and abuse prevention on college campuses. The group addressed issues such as binge drinking and drunk driving among students. The group called themselves “BACCHUS,” an acronym for Boosting Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students. The organization incorporated in 1980 as BACCHUS of the U.S. Inc. and began to offer services, educational materials, and training conferences to a growing network of student organized groups across college campuses. In 1985, in an effort to welcome fraternity and sorority students into the peer education umbrella, GAMMA (Greeks Advocating Mature Management of Alcohol) began with many of the campus Greek systems organizing peer education groups. The BACCHUS Network stopped using the acronym, BACCHUS, as the mission of the organization expanded to include many student health and safety issues. In 2013, the BACCHUS Board of Trustees voted to transfer their programs and services to NASPA, a longtime partner and a leading association for the advancement, health, and sustainability of the student affairs profession. The BACCHUS corporation was dissolved, and the BACCHUS Network was merged with NASPA. The BACCHUS Initiatives of NASPA continue to work on providing resources and programs for students on a wide variety of health topics on alcohol issues and beyond. Current peer education programs focus on topics such as alcohol abuse, tobacco use, violence prevention, sexual assault prevention, sexual health, safety, physical and mental health issues.

The Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. is an organization founded over 100 years ago by the original troop leader, Juliette Gordon Low. Low, known as “Daisy” by her friends and family, gathered 18 girls in her hometown of Savannah, Georgia, on March 12, 1912, for the very first Girl Scout troop. Juliette established the organization with the goal of preparing girls to meet the world with courage, confidence, and character, a mission that continues to this day. The Girl Scouts have turned into a global organization, united across distance and decades through lifelong friendships, shared adventures and the desire to do good in the world. One of the many traditions continuing to this day is the Girl Scout SWAPS, the tradition of Girl Scouts exchanging keepsakes, a way for Girl Scouts to meet one another and promote friendship.

Clark is a grandson of the famous explorer William Clark. Originally, it began as a jockey club meeting, but slowly grew into the large event that it is today. The Kentucky Derby takes place in Louisville and has operated without interruption since 1875, even continuing through events like The Great Depression and both World Wars.

The Kettering Medical Center was founded in 1964, although work on their first hospital took place in 1961. The organization was named for its founder, Eugene Kettering. Kettering was inspired to open up a hospital after witnessing the 1950s polio epidemic. The medical center kept growing, with the campus even opening a college for health sciences, Kettering College. Eventually, the Kettering Medical Center rebranded to become the Kettering Health Network, which lists nine hospitals across Ohio around the Dayton and Cincinnati area.

The United Church of Christ (UCC) traces its history to the Congregational Church, whose history goes back to the Puritans. The UCC formed when the Evangelical and Reformed Church merged with the General Council of Congregational Christian Churches in 1957. The UCC has involved itself in traditionally liberal social justice issues including abortion access. They also formed the Council for Hispanic Ministries (CHM). The CHM works autonomously in concert with the UCC to be an ambassador for the faith, promote the interests of Hispanic and Latino people, and support international, intercultural, and interfaith dialogue.

"Wines are finger lake'n good" is a play on the phrase, “finger lickin’ good,” because of the winery’s location near Finger Lakes in New York. At the time of its establishment in 1865, Gold Seal Winery was called Urbana Wine Company. At that point, it held New York State’s second bonded winery license. During its near 120 years of business, Gold Seal Winery had many owners and many names. During Prohibition, the name was changed to Gold Seal Products Company, which produced sacramental wine. After Prohibition, the name changed back to Urbana Wine Company. They were known for their Finger Lakes champagne that used traditional European grapes that were imported from France. The name once again changed in 1957 to Gold Seal Vineyards, Inc. before closing in 1984.
