March of Dimes: Be a Hero for Babies Day

Re-print from Why Platinum?

June 29th, 2011.  Be a Hero for Babies Day is the day that Farmers Agents focus most on raising money for the March of Dimes.

Today, $2.7 Million was announced as the support we were able to raise for the fight for families facing the challenges of Premature Birth.

We'd like to thank and congratulate our fellow Farmers Insurance agents and employees for their dedication and hard work today, and all year.

Around the country various offices & districts held a variety of fundraisers.  BBQ's, to car washes, to raffles, to golf tournaments.

Farmers Insurance CEO Bob Woudstra presents March of
 Dimes Jane Massey with a check. This is a great day for all
 of the families who will benefit from the generosity of
 Farmers agents and employees.

The Platinum Elite Group made up of Farmers Insurance agents located around Southern California focus on the March of Dimes all year round.  Here are some articles on just some of the past events we've held.

Here's the word from the March of Dimes blog:

Today is Be a Hero for Babies Day and Farmers agents across the country are doing their part to help fight premature birth. Some know firsthand what it’s like to have a baby born too soon and very sick. Like Jennifer Azaira. Born 10 weeks early, Jennifer’s son Jaxson had to fight for his life in newborn intensive care. Thanks to research by the March of Dimes and the generosity of the Farmers family, his story has a happy ending.

For 25 years, Farmers agents and employees have shown an incredible commitment to helping babies. But their great results wouldn’t be possible without people like you. And today, your gift will do double the good. Make your donation to the March of Dimes and Farmers will match it dollar for dollar.* You can also text the word HERO to 20222 to donate $5 right now.
