The Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation’s (IICF) Midwest Division raised more than $8,000 through its World Series-related fundraiser to support its Midwest Division Community Grants Program.
The program helps local community non-profits focused in the areas of health, safety and education.
The Midwest-centered World Series between Chicago and Cleveland teams created and opportunity for IICF Midwest Division Board members to step up to the plate in a friendly competition to raise funds and help support those in need in their local communities.
Members of the IICF Midwest Board of Directors, based in Chicago, and the Cleveland-based Ohio Chapter Board of Directors made major league contributions to the IICF Midwest Division as their hometown teams, the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians – two giants of Midwestern baseball – competed in the historic World Series.
Twenty companies participated in the initiative.
Since 2011, the IICF Midwest Division has awarded more than $1.7 million in grants to community nonprofits across the Midwest working in the areas of health, safety and education, including $110,000 in funding to Ohio nonprofits since the inception of its own IICF Ohio Chapter in 2013.
