Fredericksburg GEICO Employee Named Associate Volunteer of the Year

A Fredericksburg GEICO associate has received national recognition as 2014 Volunteer of the Year for helping raise more than $30,000 for various Fredericksburg fundraisers.

Under the leadership of Keith Scott, a GEICO systems analyst in Fredericksburg, the number of associates who participated in Fredericksburg’s annual March for Babies walk has doubled, and fundraising increased by more than 200 percent for March of Dimes.

Scott and fellow associates also helped raise more than $30,000 for Children’s National Medical Center, after which GEICO donated an additional $1,000 to the cause in honor of Scott’s efforts.

“We get creative and host many events, including a basket raffle, water balloon toss, penny wars, snack-o-rama and much more,” Scott said. “It’s amazing to see how much support our associates give, all to benefit the children.”

Scott joined the Fredericksburg GEICO team in 2002.

Nancy Pierce, GEICO’s regional vice president in Fredericksburg, said that Scott serves as a true inspiration to his fellow associates.

“Keith has an unwavering dedication to make a difference, and no challenge is too great for him,” Pierce said. “It is a great honor to provide Keith with this recognition because he has no doubt helped to touch many lives.”
