Foresters Financial™, an international financial services provider, believes in doing more for their members, their members’ families and communities. And as part of that purpose, they raised money for Puerto Rico’s chapter of Ronald McDonald House Charities^®1 at the National Association of Independent Life Brokerage Agencies (NAILBA) recent 36th annual meeting.

Through efforts at NAILBA, Foresters will donate U.S. $32.50² to the Puerto Rico chapter of Ronald McDonald House Charities® for every business card collected at NAILBA 36, up to $3,250.

Since the start of 2017, the number of natural disasters striking the United States and Canada has been unprecedented. Floods, wildfires, ice storms, and hurricanes have displaced thousands, destroyed homes, and caused turmoil for millions of people. The destruction of homes can range from mild to severe, that is why professional services such as Burlington roofers need to be one hand to make sure homes affected are secure so that homeowners are able to rebuild.

During this period, Foresters has activated its Emergency Assistance program 11 times to help eligible members³ affected by these disasters. But the extraordinary catastrophes brought about by hurricanes Harvey and Irma have raised the stakes. As of October 31, Foresters has paid out approximately $2.6 million in financial assistance to over 6,600 members in areas affected by these deadly storms. 

Foresters is also helping the millions of people pick up the pieces from these deadly storms, donating $130,000 to hurricane relief efforts.
