Event More than Doubles Funds Raised Last
Year
More than 650 Assurant employees truly went the extra mile
during the company’s second annual 5K race to benefit the United
Way of Miami-Dade. The company raised $163,935 in donations and
sponsorships, as well as pacesetter contributions from senior
executives and matches from the Assurant Foundation, surpassing
last year’s total of nearly $68,000.
The annual event was held on Nov. 7, 2017 on a
specially-arranged course at Assurant’s south Miami-Dade campus. As
part of the day’s festivities, the company also held a
mini-festival before and after the 5,000-meter race – complete with
a DJ and performers – and recognized the top fundraisers, runners
and best-costumed participants.
“This event is a pillar of our fundraising support for United
Way of Miami-Dade,” said Assurant President and CEO Alan Colberg,
who took part in the run. “Our dedicated employee volunteers bring
their caring spirit to life so we can help the children and
families of south Florida. The enthusiasm and generosity of our
employees is a true testament of our commitment to the communities
where we live and work.”
“Our amazing partner Assurant has once again shown its
commitment, not only to United Way, but to our community,” Norie
Del Valle, vice president, United Way of Miami-Dade,
said. “It’s a humbling experience to see hundreds of members
of the Assurant family gather in their own back yard to run, walk
and feel healthy, while raising nearly $164,000 to help strengthen
education, financial stability and health in Miami-Dade.”
Assurant employs more than 2,100 people at its campus on Quail
Roost Drive. The Assurant 5K is one of the signature events of the
company’s nationwide 2017 United Way campaign. Assurant hosted its
inaugural 5K last year.
