EPIC Insurance Brokers and Consultants has hosted its fourth annual golf tournament.
This year’s EPIC Invitational Golf Tournament was held on behalf of The Joyful Child Foundation and over 100 people attended.
“It takes a community to keep our children safe,” said The Joyful Child Foundation founder Erin Runnion. “EPIC’s continued support is helping to ensure that our children are educated and empowered to defend themselves against predators.”
Runnion founded The Joyful Child Foundation in 2002 in memory of her five-year-old daughter Samantha Runnion. The organization’s goal is “to ensure that every child is exposed to personal safety education and opportunities to practice in order to cultivate each child’s instinctual response to recognize, avoid, and if necessary, physically resist and escape inappropriate behaviors or violence,” a release said.
The foundation trains teachers, non-profit partners and law enforcement agencies to deliver its programs to both children and their parents.
“We are honored to help support The Joyful Child Foundation and its dedication to preventing crimes against children through programs that educate, empower and unite families and communities,” said EPIC principal David McNeil. “Giving back and community support are an integral part of EPIC’s people-first culture, and we look forward to continuing the EPIC Invitational Golf Tournament to further share and support the important work being done by The Joyful Child.”
EPIC’s golf tournaments have raised a total of more than $150,000 for The Joyful Child.
