Giving $100K of Smiles: Big Brothers Big Sisters, Feeding America Among Happy Charities Thanks to Acceptance Insurance
NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As masks come off and COVID-19 numbers are trending in the right direction, smiles are spreading as a sign of optimism in America. Doing their part to encourage more smiling is Acceptance Insurance, giving $50,000 to hard-working Americans and another $50,000 to worthy causes.
Among the biggest winners were Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and Feeding America, each receiving more than $10,000 in donations.
"Big Brothers Big Sisters is extremely grateful for the generosity of Acceptance Insurance. This gift will directly touch our community's most vulnerable youth, allowing their mentors to help inspire, empower and ignite their potential," said Betsy Fitzgerald, President & CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Heart of Georgia.
Through the "Get A Smile, Give A Smile" sweepstakes, Acceptance put real action behind their service vision "Take Care Of Each Other." 85 winners not only received prizes of up to $5,000 but were invited to direct a matching donation to one of six charitable organizations: American Red Cross, Feeding America, The Humane Society of the United States, Wounded Warrior Project, Habitat for Humanity, or Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.
"2020 was a difficult year for people and non-profit organizations alike. We want to act on our values, helping people and giving back to the communities where we live and work," said Ken Hampton, Executive Vice President and Chief Sales Officer of Acceptance Insurance.
While partner charities and prizes are still being allocated, Habitat for Humanity and Wounded Warrior Project will see more than $5000 each in matching donations in addition to the more than $18,000 going to Big Brothers Big Sisters and $11,000 to Feeding America.
