New York City Allstate Agent Hero Donates $500 to Achilles International

Oct. 18, 2010 - PRLog -- Allstate agency owner Jim Sheppard was recently named an Agent Hero by Allstate Insurance Company’s New York Region, and awarded a $500 grant for a local youth program.

Sheppard donated the grant to Achilles Kids of New York City, supporting Achilles’ work in training and encouraging more than 3,500 children with disabilities to participate in running.

“As an Allstate agent, I believe it is my responsibility to demonstrate the Good Hands Promise in the Manhattan community every single day,” said Sheppard, whose office is located at 515 Madison Avenue in New York. “It is an honor to be able to donate this grant to Achilles International and hopefully touch the lives of the kids who are involved.”
