The non-profit Women in Insurance Cancer Crusade (WICC) has announced that CNA Canada has become its newest national sponsor.
WICC’s national sponsorship program provides opportunities for companies looking to donate to a charity involved in cancer research and/or awareness.
“We are very happy to have CNA Canada join our growing list of national sponsors,” said WICC Ontario co-chair Garth Pepper. “CNA Canada, along with our other national sponsors, will help us unite and engage the Canadian insurance community with the goal of funding cancer research; and supporting, educating and improving the lives of those affected by cancer.”
“I am excited about our growing partnership with WICC and look forward to continuing to make a positive impact together in the community to help fund cancer research, as well as raise awareness,” commented CNA Canada president and CEO Nick Creatura.
Creatura added that CNA’s employees have long been supporters of the WICC – some employees have also served as volunteers for the non-profit through local chapter events. Thus, it made sense for the insurance company to partner with WICC, the chief executive said.
He added: “I am proud to see the insurance industry uniting together for a great and worthy cause.”
Other insurers and insurance-related companies that have sponsored WICC include: AIG Canada, AppCentrica Inc., BELFOR Restoration Services, Canadian Underwriter Magazine, CHUBB Insurance, CNA Canada, Crawford & Company (Canada), Economical Insurance, INFORMCO Inc., Liberty Mutual Canada, NFP Canada, Northbridge Insurance, On Side Restoration Services, ROAR Engineering, Steamatic Canada, Travelers Insurance, Trisura Guarantee Insurance Company, and Wawanesa Insurance.
