Allen Insurance and Financial continues its longstanding support of the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, raising $4,400 for the 2010 Relay, held earlier this summer at Camden Hills Regional High School.
Overall, the company has raised $28,000 for cancer research since Relay was established in Knox County in 2003. Allen has received several American Cancer Society honors for this dedication, including an Outstanding Income Development Award in 2007.
Though Relay is the single biggest event on Allen’s fundraising calendar, raising money for the American Cancer Society is a year-round activity. Yard sales, pot luck luncheons and other events help boost the total, as does a company match of employee funds raised. In addition, Allen provides free the use of a conference room for all of the Midcoast planning committee and team captain meetings.
Allen Relay team members in 2010 include: Karen Reed, Trisha Hill, Sara Montgomery, Kathi Jones, Sherree Craig, Meesha Luce, Leann McKusic, Lori Mank and Libby Davis.

Their hats are pieces of (paper) birthday cake because the American Cancer Society is “the official sponsor of birthdays.”
