Westfield’s Legacy of Caring Program Partners with Westfield Insurance Agencies, Including CoverLink Insurance, to Support Dozens of Nonprofits Across the Country
MARYSVILLE, OHIO, May 27, 2024 — Westfield partnered with CoverLink Insurance to donate $8,500 to IMPACT60 as part of Westfield’s Legacy of Caring program. Each year, Westfield’s top independent insurance agents are invited to nominate a local nonprofit in their community to receive a donation. Donations are made to dozens of nonprofits in cities across Westfield’s national footprint.
The Westfield Insurance Foundation, an independent private foundation endowed by Westfield, awards the donations to support their top agents’ local communities. Since 2015, the Legacy of Caring program supports nonprofits focused on helping families or businesses stabilize or recover from disasters – mirroring what the insurance industry does every day for their customers.
“As Westfield enters our 176th year, we achieved this longevity by generations of employees and agents working together, committed to preserving and propelling our communities forward.” said Ed Largent, Westfield president, CEO, board chair and Westfield Insurance Foundation chairman. “Westfield continues to build on the strong commitment of caring that the founders of our company imagined. It’s a great feeling to link arms with our agents and make an impact.”
“The team at CoverLink Insurance is always seeking opportunities to volunteer and support our community,” said Larry Middaugh, Senior Insurance Advisor. “We are proud and thankful for our collaboration with Westfield, which helps our agency make a more powerful impact on the communities where we live and work.”
“We are grateful for the generous support to IMPACT60,” said Lavona See, Executive Director. “The Legacy of Caring grant will have a direct impact on providing immediate access to assistance that can stabilize families when adverse life-events occur. This assistance can, for example, help to divert a potential job loss due to a loss of transportation or keep housing intact for a family faced with the choice between making rent or making a car payment to get to a job. This grant will help families and businesses realize short-term successes with long-lasting outcomes.”
At Westfield, it’s about more than writing insurance policies, it’s about going above and beyond to help communities thrive and prosper. Offering support that reflects these values is at the core of the Westfield Insurance Foundation. Westfield is proud to partner with independent agents through the Legacy of Caring program.

About CoverLink Insurance
The guiding principle at CoverLink Insurance is to always put people before policies… our associates care deeply about the clients we work to protect on a daily basis. So, when Westfield Insurance created its Legacy of Caring program, the mission aligned seamlessly with the culture that’s existed at CoverLink since 1920. We’re honored when clients like Mark Muirhead say “they’re the type of individuals you can count on, and who honestly care about their clients from a business and personal standpoint.” It’s this caring approach that we feel is lacking too often in today’s world, in any industry. And we’re on a mission to change that, along with the help of like-minded organizations such as Westfield Insurance.
