ICYMI: Wantagh Allstate Agent Earns $1,000 Donation to Cancer Scholarship Fund

Allstate agency owner Christina Shaw along with her team, including Sandy Macgilvray and Dana Jarry, received the Agency Helping Hands in the Community Award for their commitment to helping others. This award earned the Susan Satriano Memorial Scholarship Foundation, where Shaw volunteers, a $1,000 grant from The Allstate Foundation.

“The Susan Satriano Memorial Scholarship Foundation truly makes a difference in the Long Island community,” Shaw said. “These grant funds will help this foundation continue to improve the lives of many people in the surrounding area. I am inspired by the work that they have accomplished and I am proud to be a part of their efforts.”

The Susan Satriano Memorial Scholarship Foundation was created by Joe Satriano, an Oceanside resident, in memory of his wife, who died of cancer. Each year, the foundation gives out thousands of dollars in scholarships to children whose parents are currently fighting, or have fought, cancer. The scholarship has never turned anyone down.

Allstate agents and employees have a proud history of putting their good hands to work in supporting New York communities, promoting volunteerism and providing financial resources to enable local organizations to help others. The Agency Helping Hands in the Community Award celebrates that spirit of service.

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 with, mentor or lead a nonprofit of their choice.
