Wawanesa has donated $150,000 to charities selected by insurance brokers, the insurance company updated today.
The move is intended to celebrate brokers who “go the extra mile” for their customers and communities, Wawanesa said in a press release.
Earlier this year, brokers were asked to share stories about how they have assisted clients and the community, with the opportunity to win a $10,000 donation for their charity of choice.
“We received more than 100 inspiring and heartwarming story submissions,'' said Trevor Rachkowski, Wawanesa vice president of sales & distribution. “We're pleased to now share the 10 brokerages from across Canada selected to receive a $10,000 donation from Wawanesa for the charity of their choice.''
All other participants are set to receive a $500 charitable gift card from the insurer, to be donated to charity.
“Braving an approaching fire, educating clients on the ins and outs of insurance, and raising funds for underserved communities are just some of the extraordinary ways our award recipients have gone the extra mile,” Rachkowski said.
