MONTPELIER – Union Mutual was proudly represented by over 40 employees, independent agency partners, vendors, friends, and family members in a virtual Penguin Plunge to benefit Special Olympics Vermont on Saturday, Feb. 6, 2021.
The Union Mutual Popsicles donned their best summer attire and creative costumes as they “Plunged” into the snow to create snow angels (#AngelsForAthletes) at their homes across New England and New York.
With the widespread support of hundreds of donors, the Union Mutual Popsicles were able to set yet another impressive mark for the event’s fundraising with a grand total of over $63,000. The all-time team fundraising record was set by Union Mutual in 2020.
“We are truly overwhelmed by all the support we received for the Penguin Plunge this year, with our #AngelsForAthletes event,” Union Mutual President & CEO Lisa Keysar said. “Our team and our supporters found a creative way to continue the spirit of this important event, surpassing our fundraising expectations. Once again, it is a true testament to the strong relationships and civic-minded spirit of our insurance community.”
At the time of this release, three of the event’s top five fundraisers were Union Mutual Popsicles, led by Chief Financial Officer Jen Galfetti and Keysar. The Special Olympics Vermont Penguin Plunge season extends through March 27. For those who haven’t already done so, there is still time to visit www.penguinplunge.org to register or donate.
