NAPLES, Fla. (October 26, 2017) — Prestige Insurance Consultants Inc. has earned a 2017 Safeco Insurance® Make More Happen Award for demonstrating extraordinary volunteerism to make positive change happen in their community. The award includes $5,000 to use towards its community work with the Guadalupe Center, which is committed to breaking the cycle of poverty through education for the children of Immokalee. This year, Safeco is offering agents an additional opportunity to help the causes they care about most. Shannon Morgan & Sonia Vargas, independent agents for Prestige Insurance Consultants Inc., and the Guadalupe Center will have their stories featured on Safeco.com, with a chance to raise an additional $5,000. If the story is shared from Safeco.com at least 50 times on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn, the total donation will increase to $10,000. Help them reach their goal by sharing their story at www.safeco.com/make-more-happen/share. “We are excited to offer agents the ability to raise even more funds through social media sharing, and we hope their stories inspire others to volunteer in their communities,” said Todd Hughes, Safeco Insurance Southeast Region territory manager. “Safeco’s Make More Happen program recognizes agents who are committed to making a difference in their local communities, and we want to encourage them to directly support the local charities where they see the most need.” Safeco’s Make More Happen Awards focus on nonprofits in the areas of health and safety, education and civil service. Prestige Insurance Consultants Inc. was selected for a Make More Happen Award based on a photo and application demonstrating its commitment to the Guadalupe Center, which serves 1,300 students in Immokalee. True inspiration struck for agents Shannon and Sonia when they toured the Guadalupe Center for the first time. After seeing the smiling faces of all the children, they knew immediately that they wanted to help make a difference. The pair volunteers at the Guadalupe Center, offering one-on-one attention with the children – reading, playing and soon to be mentoring their first high school student. They also provide financial support through an office referral program, they organize and sort donations at their resale shop and have inspired other agency employees to get involved. Throughout 2017, Safeco will select a total of 23 independent agents for the awards and donate up to $230,000 to the nonprofits they support. The Make More Happen Awards are a part of Safeco Insurance’s Agent Giving Program.
