$10,000 Awarded to Patchogue Family YMCA
The Power of Patchogue and West Sayville's Community Support on Social Media Helped Achieve Full Donation

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!
