Katonah Agent Hero Donates $500 to Vincent G. Halloran Fund for Children

Sept. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Allstate agency owner Joseph P. Burger, whose office is located at 200 Katonah Avenue in Katonah, was recently named an Agent Hero by Allstate Insurance Company’s New York Region, and awarded a $500 grant for a local youth program.

Burger donated the grant to the Vincent G. Halloran Fund for Children, formed in memory of a firefighter who lost his life on 9/11 while saving the lives of others. The Fund helps children through education and recreation, including special events, camps and scholarships, including the NYC Cornell Children’s Burn centers.

“As an Allstate agent, I believe it is my responsibility to demonstrate the Good Hands Promise in the community every single day,” said Burger, a founding member of the Vincent G. Halloran Fund board. “It is an honor to be able to donate this grant and hopefully touch the lives of the youth who are involved.”
