🌟 Heartfelt Gratitude to Staebler Insurance and Economical Insurance 🌟 We are deeply moved by the incredible generosity of Staebler Insurance and Economical Insurance (part of Definity). Earlier this year, Staebler chose SASC as the recipient of a $2,500 donation. But their support didn’t stop there—thanks to the endorsement from a Staebler employee, the Definity Insurance Foundation also stepped in with a $5,000 gift. Together, these two compassionate companies have contributed a total of $7,500 to SASC this year. Your kindness and dedication to supporting survivors are truly inspiring. From all of us at SASC, a heartfelt thank you for making such a significant difference in our community. #Gratitude #CommunitySupport #ThankYou
