PARSIPPANY — Allstate New Jersey Insurance Company agency owner Ben Michalik on Parsippany Road, received the Agency Hands in the Community Award for his commitment to helping others. With this award came a $1,000 grant from The Allstate Foundation for the John Paul II Polish School in Parsippany.
Allstate New Jersey agents and employees have a proud history of putting their good hands to work in supporting New Jersey communities, promoting volunteerism and providing financial resources to enable local organizations to help others.
The Agency Hands in the Community Award celebrates the spirit of service. “Commitment to our communities is a part of what we do every day – protecting people and making their lives more secure,” said John Kane, President of Allstate New Jersey Insurance Company. “With support from The Allstate Foundation, Ben and John Paul II Polish School are making their communities stronger.”
John Paul II Polish School has a primary goal to teach the Polish language, as well as the traditions and culture of the Polish nation, to young people that live in a multilingual American society. They are also striving to reach the highest level in pedagogical work, by awakening and solidifying the national pride of the youth, and to prepare them to be loyal and creative members of Polish-American society.
The Allstate Foundation awards more than $1 million every year to nonprofit organizations across the country in honor of dedicated Allstate agency owners who give back. To be eligible for nomination, Allstate agency owners must volunteer, mentor or lead a nonprofit of their choice.
