$10,000 Awarded to Oneonta’s Blount County Education Foundation

Thanks to the communities’ support, Allison Insurance has officially awarded a $10,000 donation to Blount County Education Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting academic excellence in Blount County Schools.
The $10,000 donation will help the nonprofit with its county-wide summer learning program for students which includes reading and math support, STEAM activities, visual arts, music, and theater. Every summer program camper is also given a new pair of shoes and a new book to take home and keep.

Allison Insurance originally received a $5,000 donation for Blount County Education Foundation thanks to a submission process with Liberty Mutual® and Safeco Insurance® through their 2024 Make More Happen™ Awards. A story of their local partnership was featured on the official Make More Happen microsite, https://www.agentgiving.com/allison-insurance/, where Allison Insurance had the opportunity to raise $5,000 by conducting a local awareness campaign for the nonprofit. Together with the community, the goal was met increasing the total donation to $10,000 for Blount County Education Foundation!
“We are honored and incredibly grateful for being awarded the 2024 Make More Happen Award so we can continue to help our community and give back even more to Blount County Education Foundation,” said Scott Nesbitt, president of Allison Insurance. “Blount County Education Foundation has had a significant impact in the Blount County-area and are thrilled to double the donation with community support.”

Throughout 2024, Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance will select up to 37 independent agents nationwide for a Make More Happen Award donating up to $370,000 to the nonprofits they support. Agencies became eligible for the award by submitting an application and photos demonstrating their commitment to a specific nonprofit.
