Bearing Insurance Helps American Red Cross with Community Disaster Response

Westfield’s Legacy of Caring Program Partners with Westfield Insurance Agencies to Support Dozens of Nonprofits Across the Country

RICHMOND, VA, UNITED STATES, June 23, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Westfield has teamed up with Bearing Insurance to donate $10,500 to the American Red Cross as part of Westfield’s Legacy of Caring program. Each year, Westfield’s top independent insurance agents are invited to nominate a local nonprofit in their community to receive a donation. Donations are made to dozens of nonprofits in cities across Westfield’s national footprint.

The Westfield Insurance Foundation, an independent private foundation endowed by Westfield, awards the donations to support their top agents’ local communities. Since 2015, the Legacy of Caring program supports nonprofits focused on helping families or businesses stabilize or recover from disasters – mirroring what the insurance industry does every day for their customers.

“As Westfield enters our 177th year, we achieved this longevity by generations of employees and agents working together, committed to preserving and propelling our communities forward,” said Ed Largent, Westfield president, CEO, board chair and Westfield Insurance Foundation chairman. “Westfield continues to build on the strong commitment of caring that the founders of our company imagined. It’s a great feeling to link arms with our agents and make an impact.”

“The team at Bearing Insurance is always seeking opportunities to volunteer and support our community,” said Carolyn Gibbons, Senior Vice President of Human Resources. “We are proud and thankful for our collaboration with Westfield, which helps our agency make a more powerful impact on the communities where we live and work.”

“We are so grateful for the generous support to the American Red Cross,” said Shira Turner, Chief Development Officer-Virginia. “The Legacy of Caring grant will have a direct impact on community disaster response and help families and businesses realize short-term successes with long-lasting outcomes.”

At Westfield, it’s about more than writing insurance policies, it’s about going above and beyond to help communities thrive and prosper. Offering support that reflects these values is at the core of the Westfield Insurance Foundation. Westfield is proud to partner with independent agents through the Legacy of Caring program.
