Kizuna Awarded $10,000 Donation from FIA Insurance Services

Thanks to the Southern California communities’ help, Kizuna, an organization dedicated to the education, empowerment and engagement of the next generation of Japanese Americans, has been awarded a $10,000 donation from FIA Insurance Services through the 2019 Safeco Insurance® Make More Happen Awards! The donation will help cover the supply costs to serve over 160 students in Kizuna’s programs.

FIA Insurance Services originally received $5,000 for Kizuna through a submission process, and Safeco offered Brandon Okita, an independent agent for FIA Insurance Services, an additional chance to raise even more funds. The insurance agency and nonprofit had a story about their relationship and positive impact on the community featured on the official Safeco Insurance Facebook page. Together, they were able to raise an additional $5,000 by having their story shared on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn at least 250 times over the course of a week.
