Burnsville Allstate Agent Recognized for Outstanding Volunteerism

Local Allstate agency owner Gregory LeVon received the Allstate Agency Hands in the Community Award for his commitment to helping others and community service. Because of LeVon’s outstanding volunteerism, The Allstate Foundation awarded a $1000 grant to Eastview Athletic Association where LeVon volunteers. The mission of Eastview Athletic Association is to deliver a diverse range of well managed sports programs to the families living within the Eastview High School enrollment boundaries as well as the city of Apple Valley. EVAA strives to provide a quality athletic experience to kids of all ages and capabilities with a focus on sportsmanship.

Greg was so excited about receiving this award from the Allstate Foundation and the good work that is done by the Eastview Athletic Association that he matched the $1000 grant by donating an additional $1000.

Allstate, its agents, and employees have a proud history of putting their good hands to work in supporting Minnesota communities, promoting volunteerism and providing financial resources to enable local organizations to help others. Now in its 60th year, The Allstate Foundation has given more than $300 million in financial contributions to communities around the country.
