Thanks to the communities’ support, Doyle & Ogden Inc. has officially awarded a $10,000 donation to Del J. & Jean B. Doyle Family Foundation's Coats for Kids program, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing winter coats to elementary children whose families are unable to afford one. The $10,000 donation will allow the organization to purchase more coats, supplying an estimated 500 children with winter coats, and expand the number of schools that will benefit from this program.

Doyle & Ogden Inc. originally received a $5,000 donation for the Coats for Kids program thanks to a submission process with Liberty Mutual® and Safeco Insurance® through their 2024 Make More Happen™ Awards. A story of their local partnership was featured on the official Make More Happen microsite, https://www.agentgiving.com/doyle-and-ogden, where Doyle & Odgen Inc. had the opportunity to raise $5,000 by conducting a local awareness campaign for the nonprofit. Together with the community, the goal was met increasing the total donation to $10,000 for the Jean B. Doyle Family Foundation's Coats for Kids program.

“Recognizing independent agents’ dedication to their communities and nonprofit partners is what the Make More Happen Awards is all about,” said Lisa Hartt, Safeco Insurance Midwest Region Senior Territory Manager. “Doyle & Ogden is a shining example of the amazing work independent agents do in Michigan and we hope sharing inspiring stories motivates others to do the same.”

Throughout 2024, Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance will select up to 37 independent agents nationwide for a Make More Happen Award donating up to $370,000 to the nonprofits they support. Agencies became eligible for the award by submitting an application and photos demonstrating their commitment to a specific nonprofit.
