Thanks to the communities’ support, Folks Insurance Group has officially awarded a $10,000 donation to Patchogue Family YMCA, a nonprofit organization dedicated to youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.

The $10,000 donation will help the nonprofit with its capital fundraising campaign to renovate and reconfigure its facility to add more Pre-K classrooms. Additionally, the donation will help resurface the gymnasium floor for the young and old who participate daily in basketball, soccer, and pickleball.

Folks Insurance Group originally received a $5,000 donation for Patchogue Family YMCA 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, www.agentgiving.com/folks-insurance-group/ where Folks Insurance Group had the opportunity to raise an $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 Patchogue Family YMCA!
