$10,000 Awarded to Healing Hearts Child Advocacy Center

Thanks to the community's support, Boren & Hawkins Insurance officially awarded a $10,000 donation to Healing Hearts Child Advocacy Center, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to respond to child abuse with a supportive team approach that reduces trauma through advocacy, treatment, education and prevention. With an increase in child abuse victims since Covid 19, the $10,000 donation will help fund the staffing for a mental health therapist at the advocacy center and the hiring of an additional coordinator to work directly with Child Protective Services and law enforcement.

Boren & Hawkins Insurance originally received a $5,000 donation for Healing Hearts Child Advocacy Center 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/Boren-and-Hawkins, where Boren & Hawkins 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 Healing Hearts Child Advocacy Center.

“Recognizing independent agents’ dedication to their communities and nonprofit partners is what the Make More Happen Awards is all about,” said Jay Lynch, Safeco Insurance Southeast Region Senior Territory Manager. “Boren & Hawkins Insurance is a shining example of the amazing work independent agents do in the Mississippi area and we hope sharing inspiring stories motivates others to do the same.”

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.
