Westfield’s Legacy of Caring Program Partners with Westfield Insurance Agencies to Support Dozens of Nonprofits Across the Country
BELLEFONTAINE, OHIO, JULY 10, 2023, — The Westfield Insurance Foundation partnered with CoverLink Insurance to donate $4,500 to Logan County Cancer Society to help families stabilize or recover from disasters or illnesses as part of the 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. Each year, grants 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 donation to support their top agents’ local communities. The program is designed to mirror what the insurance industry does every day –stabilize families, businesses, and communities in times of uncertainty. Since 2015, the Legacy of Caring program donates to nonprofits focused on helping under-employed families overcome barriers in education, finance, housing, and jobs, or recover from disasters.
“As Westfield celebrates 175 years, 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 Matt Simon, President. “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 so grateful for this generous support to the Logan County Cancer Society” said Tammy Allison, Chief Operating Officer. “The Legacy of Caring grant will have a direct impact on Logan County residents touched by cancer by providing assistance to those in need with the cost of medical supplies, medications and transportation, lessening their burden and allowing them to focus on their healing.”
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.
