Volunteers to Earn Grant for Colorado Springs Boys & Girls Club

Allstate agency owners and financial specialists from the Colorado Springs-area will come together to secure an Allstate Foundation Helping Hands® grant to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Pikes Peak Region. The grant will support the nonprofit organization’s mission to offer youth a safe place to gather both before and after school – providing an opportunity to get homework done, receive help on assignments, receive nourishment and develop character.

The agency owners will each earn $1,000 for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Pikes Peak Region by making improvements to the Tutt Club location. Planned volunteer activities include updates to interior classrooms and beautifying the club grounds. The Boys & Girls Club will use the grant to further its work to provide a variety of quality programs to its young members.

Colorado Springs-area Allstate volunteers will join 250 agency owners, financial specialists and Allstate employees in a multi-state volunteer effort on April 7 that will benefit 15 Boys & Girls Clubs across Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota and Wyoming. The participating Allstate agency owners are among thousands of agency owners and financial specialists around the country working to strengthen communities by volunteering their time to support the causes they care about most.

“As small business owners and community leaders, Allstate agency owners and financial specialists see firsthand the opportunities and challenges facing our communities,” said Cally O’Donnell, Allstate agency owner in Colorado Springs, Colo. “Giving back is core to who we are, which is why we’re proud to volunteer and raise funds to improve the lives of young people in the Colorado Springs area.”

The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Pikes Peak Region is one of thousands of organizations this year to receive Allstate Foundation Helping Hands grants secured by agency owners and financial specialists on behalf of the nonprofits where they volunteer. The grants support organizations addressing domestic violence, youth empowerment, disaster preparedness, hunger and other causes.
