2016 Protecting What Matters Program

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Sept. 14, 2016 - PRLog -- At BB&T – Oswald Trippe and Company, our mission has always included giving back, because we recognize building a stronger community is something that benefits us all.

Safeco Insurance recognizes that, too — and we're honored to be one of the agencies who participated in the 2016 Protecting What Matters program!

To earn the donation for South Trail Fire & Rescue District, we held a community education class on Hurricane Preparedness on June 1, 2016. During the class, attendees focused on hurricane preparedness and helping attendees understand the insurance coverage on their property and associations. Attendees had the opportunity to learn how to use a fire extinguisher properly.

On Aug. 30, we presented the donation check to the South Trail Fire & Rescue District. "On behalf of Safeco Insurance, I'm pleased to have had the opportunity to sponsor this class and help individuals and families protect what matters," said Gino Littlestone, BB&T Senior Vice President of BB&T – Oswald Trippe and Company. "I'm proud of our partnership with the South Trail Fire & Rescue District in providing this important safety-related information."

Thank you to everyone who attended the class to make it a meaningful day of learning. Special thanks to South Trail Fire & Rescue District for their help to educate everyone on the importance of being properly prepared in the event of a hurricane emergency and the safety of their family.

We're proud to call Southwest Florida home, and we're committed to protecting what matters here!
