Farmers Insurance Group® is a national sponsor of the “March for Babies” walk for the March of Dimes, an activity in many communities to help raise money for the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health. As a member of the Farmers family, we share in the commitment to improve the health of all babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.
The Grand Rapids, Michigan March for Babies is held at our Caledonia campus in April. Across the country, Farmers employees help raise money through bake sales, silent auctions, selected pay-to-wear jeans to work days and many other activities in insurance company and agent offices. These contributions to the March of Dimes campaign let researchers, volunteers, educators and advocates continue to work together to give babies a healthy start in life insurance . Every year, Farmers declares one day “Be a Hero for Babies Day” to raise funds and awareness for the March of Dimes and its mission. In 2009, the Farmers family of employees and agents raised $4.1 million on Be a Hero for Babies Day in just this one day alone. Make a donation for babies.
Junior Achievement (JA)
Foremost became a major player in Junior Achievement (JA) when our founder, Edward J. Frey, started Junior Achievement of the Michigan Great Lakes in 1955. In our 50-plus year relationship with JA, Foremost has provided executive leadership on the JA Board of Directors, as well as financial support, which continue today as Farmers employees.
Farmers employees are the largest single source of JA Classroom Consultant Volunteers from any one insurance company, many of whom sign up through the annual JA Volunteer Recruitment Carnival held at the Farmers Michigan office. Thousands of students each year benefit from this classroom volunteer opportunity, and even more benefit from Job Shadow days.
We also provide support through our strong participation in JA Fundraising events such as the JA Bowling Classic, Calling for Kids and Jeans for JA days.
