We understand that working together can get us one step closer to solving some of today's most pressing challenges. Through our Community Cause Program, we hope to collaborate with non-profits and champion the causes we believe in. With The Block Gives Back, we're proud to offer our platform as a tool to empower those seeking meaningful change.

Our team here at Gannon Risk Group wants to shine a light on this issue and expand our agency's vision of a happy and healthy community. To accomplish our goal, this quarter, we'll be supporting Operation Warm's mission to provide warmth, confidence, and hope through essential need initiatives that connect underserved children to the resources they need to thrive.

Here at Gannon Insurance, we are a family-oriented organization that prioritizes children and families in all our endeavors. We greatly believe in giving back to those in need. We've decided to support The Baby Bureau. The Baby Bureau of Labor was started in 2011 by Fran Wasserman when she recognized an unmet need in the community for underserved and at-risk babies. Small stacks of donated clothing soon turned into many, and the baby bundle was born.

At our agency, we believe every child deserves a good night's rest, so, for the next three months, our team will join OHAAT to help achieve its mission. OHAAT is a nonprofit organization that goes above and beyond to ensure children and youth get the quality and sufficient sleep they need to thrive. Currently, their main focus is to reduce child bedlessness in the Greater Philadephia neighborhoods.

The Block Gives Back is a nonprofit that aims to restore Philadelphia neighborhoods through community involvement. They accomplish this by hosting events throughout the year that encourage community members to donate and volunteer their time to make a positive impact on our most vulnerable neighbors. 

The American Red Cross has brought hope to Americans and its armed services since 1881 and is now a household name synonymous with immediate support and relief when the unexpected happens. Fueled by donations and their millions of hard-working volunteers, they offer meaningful services such as First Aid and CPR training, blood donation stations, and are active in over 200 countries across the world.

For almost 40 years now, the Inter-Faith Housing Alliance has been “serving vulnerable families in Montgomery County who are experiencing homelessness.” This organization has made it its mission to provide “opportunities for families in our diverse community to achieve self-sufficiency by offering community-based programs designed to bridge homelessness and independence.”

According to the CDC, lung cancer is the third most common cancer in the U.S. and also the most common cancer death. The American Cancer Society is projecting that this year will bring 235,760 new cases of lung cancer and 131,880 deaths. With data like this, many people are concerned with how to approach this disease.

Gannon Risk Group is dedicated to impacting our community by doing what we can to help others Live Well and Thrive. We are committed to being Agents of Change. Every 90 days we will be identifying a child, family, or group that could use a hand. A great number of people are going through hardship, even as you read this right now. Through our new Community Cause program, we will be doing what we can to help them.
