As 2018 comes to a close, we’d like to recognize the different ways our Primerica Home Office employees stay generous and support the local community throughout the year:

• Employee Choice Grant Awards – Through the Employee Choice Grant Awards, employees selected five area nonprofits through a company-wide vote to receive a $10,000 grant from The Primerica Foundation. The 2018 recipients are: Angels Among Us Pet Rescue, Circle of Love Adult Day Care Center, Connections Homes, Love Beyond Walls and Top Dogg K9 Foundation.
• Relay for Life – Primerica raised over $118,500 this year for the American Cancer Society during the Relay for Life campaign. The Home Office was declared the No. 1 Relay team at the Top Relay event in the world. Primerica has been the presenting sponsor at the event since 2010.
