Community and Corporate Responsibility -- With Thanks!

Today we applaud a caring and loyal friend of the Humanity Project — a friend celebrating their 100th birthday in 2022. We’re talking about our very good neighbors at State Farm. Yes, this is the centennial anniversary of that community-minded company’s founding. We are proud to call them one of our major sponsors.

And we hope you may want to listen to our new podcast with two wonderful representatives of State Farm: Jose Soto, Corporate Responsibility Analyst, and longtime State Farm agent Melba Ballard. You’ll hear a wide-ranging conversation about ways that this highly regarded corporation can help your community — and help you too. You’ll also learn that State Farm has just renewed their sponsorship of the Humanity Project with another generous grant, funding that allows us to provide our programs to both kids and adults for free. Thank you so much, State Farm! We can’t do it without you. Listen to the podcast.

One of State Farm’s annual efforts is called Neighborhood Assist. And this year, their program is bigger and better than ever. Anyone can submit an idea for a much-needed improvement in their community, with a real chance to win $25,000 to make it happen. Submit your pitch for whatever you feel is most needed locally — food for the homeless, maybe, or a community garden. Help for a school or care for the elderly. Find the details at www.neighborhoodassist.com.

Many many corporations talk about responsibility to the community. But State Farm is among the few that actually put their talk into action. We are deeply gratified to continue our long association with this quality company, which supports in tangible ways our work toward “Equality For Each, Respect For All.” We must say it again, then: Thank you, State Farm!

Thanking Our New Sponsor

The Humanity Project is always happy to welcome new sponsors. These organizations and businesses provide essential funding — and without them, we would not be able to move forward in our fight for “Equality For Each, Respect For All.”

Today we are pleased to announce a new sponsorship by the large, respected law firm of Florin/Roebig. With a main office in Palm Harbor, Florida, Florin/Roebig’s trial attorneys represent clients in cases of personal injury, car accidents, medical malpractice, employee rights, construction negligence and product liability. Their other offices are located in Key West, Minneapolis and Dallas. Visit the Florin/Roebig website.

The Humanity Project believes that human beings should show equal respect for every individual — and that includes adopting behavior that we call #respectontheroads. This means having respect for your own life as well as the lives of other motorists when driving. We teach our kids and adults that respectful action on our highways involves attentive driving, without distractions such as cellphones, food and radios. And we encourage children to remind their parents about this concept whenever they’re all in the car together.

We’re glad that Florin/Roebig shares our belief in #respectontheroads. And we are grateful to this law firm for supporting our efforts. Welcome, Florin/Roebig.
