Primerica is encouraging today’s female youth to DREAM BIG in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

At a recent event at the Home Office, 17 Primerica volunteers worked with a group of over 40 local girls (ages 9-16) involved with 100 Girls of Code, an organization that exposes young girls to different opportunities in technology that they can pursue.

The interactive event gave the girls an introduction to specific areas in television production and an up-close look at how women are making an impact at Primerica.

The girls asked many questions and learned what happens behind the scenes of making videos. They saw first hand that it takes great teamwork to be successful!

Judy Davis spent her entire life selflessly giving to others, so her husband Larrie Davis, a Primerica Regional Vice President in Alberta, Canada, devised a special way to honor his late wife, who passed away in May.

He decided to recognize others who give of themselves like Judy did.

“Judy spent her life doing things for people – most of which was under the radar,” says Larrie. “I thought, you know what? I think there are a ton of people who do things for others with no expectation of being recognized for it.”

The Davis’ town of Innisfail and their local Chamber of Commerce hold an awards gala once a year recognizing sports leaders and business leaders. Larrie decided to approach the committee and ask if he could sponsor an award on behalf of Primerica to recognize people in his community who selflessly give to others.

“We selected recipients who are constantly doing things for other people,” says Larrie.

In its inaugural year, the “Random Acts of Kindness” award went to a couple who were close friends of Judy’s, who Davis said, “were the kind of people who would step out and do something for anybody.”

  • Employee Giving Campaign – During October, employees had two opportunities to give to the community through the United Way and The Primerica Foundation. Our employees generously pledged over $71,000 for 2019.
  • Great Days of Service – Nineteen volunteers worked together at Summerour Middle School to beautify their community garden by installing ramps to their work shed, building and installing benches for two outdoor classrooms, staining their pergola and general upkeep of the garden. In addition, nine other volunteers wrote notes of positivity for another popular program at Gwinnett Technical College.
  • Walk to End Alzheimer’s – Primerica was the largest team with 80 participating employees and family members registered at Gwinnett County’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s, raising $22,000.
  • Blood Drives – Employees donated 180 pints of blood to the American Red Cross, which were collected over four blood drives.

The holidays are a time we tend to get generous with giving and with spending, and for some that means racking up credit card debt. Last year, Americans charged more than $1,054 in holiday spending – about five percent more than the year before!*

Here are some tips to be both cheerful and frugal this year:

  1. Make a Budget. Make a budget and stick to it! Determine what you need and who you need to buy for, and buy only that.
  2. Shop Smart. Look for ways to save money and earn discounts on what you have to purchase. Look online for best prices and compare with brick and mortar stores.
  3. Get Creative. You don’t have to spend a lot on holiday décor to celebrate with the best of them! Get creative and come up with some alternative and thrifty ways to deck your halls with cheer.
  4. Resist Temptation. There will undoubtedly be multiple opportunities for you to be tempted to spend more throughout the holidays. Resist the temptation and remind yourself you’ll be in a better position financially come New Year!
