PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 27, 2025--

Digital banking provider Tyfone today announced its partnership with DBSI, a leading financial transformation firm, to offer interactive Java4Kids coffee stations at financial institution branches across the U.S. Java4Kids sells ethically sourced coffee and tea to raise funds for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals through CU4Kids, a non-profit organization.

DBSI and Tyfone recognize that every financial institution has unique needs and environments. Through this collaborative partnership, participants can choose from multiple Java4Kids commitment options, ranging from simple digital signage with QR codes and coffee displays to complete café experiences. DBSI partners closely with each financial institution to create customized designs that seamlessly integrate with their existing brand identity and branch aesthetics. Beyond generating meaningful donations for CMN Hospitals, Java4Kids stations help enhance member value and engagement by providing a thoughtful service that aligns with financial institutions' commitment to community impact.

"We launched Java4Kids to raise funds for children’s health and to support communities through coffee sales, and since then, have looked for more opportunities to get financial institutions involved,” said Josh DeTar, EVP of evangelism at Tyfone. “There are 140 million Americans who are members of credit unions. If 1% of members buy one bag of Java4Kids coffee a year, that’s $7 million in donations to CU4Kids.”

EJ Kritz, Chief Experience Officer at DBSI, said, “As experience designers, we're constantly looking for innovative ways to create meaningful engagements. This partnership with Java4Kids does exactly that 一 it transforms a daily ritual into an opportunity to make a difference. We're thrilled to introduce our clients to Java4Kids and encourage them to integrate this program into their own spaces, creating a ripple effect of impact throughout the communities we collectively serve.”

With a Java4Kids coffee purchase, members can directly contribute to life-saving care and research through CMN Hospitals, which directs funds to 170 children’s hospitals. Each bag of coffee purchased donates $5 to CMN Hospitals. Java4Kids ships directly to members, and tracks all sales, ensuring all donations are attributed to the credit union.

DeTar continued, “Now, credit unions that offer Java4Kids coffee in their branches can serve a great cup of Joe while also connecting to their communities.”

DBSI and Tyfone plan to launch Java4Kids coffee stations with participating credit unions starting this year. To get involved with Java4Kids, please visit tyfone.com/premium-content/brew-good-do-good-together-with-java4kids/ or contact Josh DeTar at josh.detar@tyfone.com.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers could have outside linebacker T.J. Watt back for their “win or go home” showdown with Baltimore for the AFC North title on Sunday night.

Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday he's “more optimistic” than he has been that the perennial Pro Bowl edge rusher will be available after sitting out each of the past three games while recovering from surgery to repair a partially collapsed lung sustained following a dry needling treatment.

Tomlin added he'd like to see Watt practice fully at some point this week. Watt was a limited participant last week before being held out of Sunday's 13-6 loss to Cleveland, a setback that cost the Steelers (9-7) a chance to wrap up the division with a week to go.

Now, Pittsburgh either needs to win or tie the Ravens (8-8) on Sunday night to win the AFC North for the first time since 2020.

Tomlin doesn't think Watt's extended downtime will have a significant impact on the 31-year-old Watt's stamina, should he be cleared to play.

“I doubt that TJ is ever out of football shape or conditioning over the course of a 12-month calendar,” Tomlin said. “I just know how he lives his life and how he prepares and how thoughtful he is in terms of what he puts in his body and how we trains.”

While Watt's familiar No. 90 could return, massive tight end Darnell Washington is out indefinitely after having surgery on Monday for a broken arm suffered in the first half against the Browns. Tomlin did not rule out Washington's potential availability should Pittsburgh advance to the playoffs, though the Steelers would likely need to make a deep run to have any chance of seeing the uniquely talented 6-foot-7, 300-plus-pound Washington in the huddle.

Wide receiver Calvin Austin III (hamstring), veteran left guard Isaac Seumalo (triceps), cornerback Brandon Echols (groin) and cornerback James Pierre (calf) — all of whom sat out last week — could return against the Ravens.

The Steelers will need as many healthy bodies available as possible, particularly on offense, to avoid a stunning late collapse. Pittsburgh sputtered in Cleveland without suspended wide receiver DK Metcalf, who will also sit out this week as punishment for making contact with a fan in Detroit earlier this month.

Pittsburgh managed just 160 net yards passing against the Browns, a big chunk of it coming on a last-second drive that ended with Aaron Rodgers throwing incomplete in the end zone to wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling on three consecutive plays.

Rodgers had perhaps his best game of the season in Pittsburgh's road win at Baltimore on Dec. 7, thanks in large part to a seven-catch, 148-yard performance from Metcalf. Downfield shots were nowhere to be found on a blustery day in Cleveland, where Rodgers' longest completion was a 29-yarder to tight end Pat Freiermuth.

While Tomlin allowed both teams will add a “wrinkle” or two in the rematch, the reality is scheme is unlikely to play a significant role in a series that has produced its fair share of memorable high-stakes meetings through the years.

The stakes should keep the Steelers from having a hangover after letting the lowly Browns jump to an early 10-point lead before holding on.

Asked if it was frustrating to lose to a team that came in with just three wins on the season with so much on the line, Tomlin shrugged.

“Man, there’s a lot of things that you could get frustrated about in our business,” he said. “I’ve learned to kind of always move forward. My windshield is much bigger than my rearview.”

Maybe, but there's a chance the game could also be the 264th and final regular-season game of quarterback Aaron Rodgers' Hall of Fame-caliber career. The 42-year-old four-time MVP said over the summer that his 21st season could be his last, though he also said last week he feels as if he's aging backward and has been relatively healthy save for a broken left wrist that forced him to sit out a loss to Chicago in late November.

Rodgers said on Sunday that he expects Pittsburgh to recover and beat the Ravens. That inherent confidence is one of the reasons the Steelers spent months courting him in free agency last spring.

“That’s one of the things that made him really attractive to us, that ‘can do’ attitude and the experience and resume that goes with it,” Tomlin said. “I don’t think it’s work for him. I think it is as natural as breathing. And so if he’s breathing, I expect to see that from him as we lean in on this game."
