NYCM Gives: An Overview of Our Corporate Sponsorships

Here at NYCM Insurance, we keep “embracing community” and “succeeding as a team” at the core of everything we do. Not only do we take pride in satisfying our customers, but take enormous pride in supporting over 550 events, organizations, and causes each year. With our employee-first mindset, we empower our employees to utilize their 16 hours of paid volunteer time by getting involved, raising awareness, and supporting the causes that resonate with them on a personal level.

We also sponsor and partner with 10 major charitable organizations annually, spreading awareness and raising money for the respective cause through their fundraising events.

• The American Heart Association – America’s Greatest Heart Run & Walk
• St. Baldrick’s – Brave the Shave
• The Kelberman Center – Walk for Autism
• Multiple Sclerosis Society – MS Walk
• American Cancer Society – Relay for Life of Otsego County
• American Cancer Society – Relay for Life of Chenango County
• American Diabetes Association – Tour de Cure
• Alzheimer’s Association – Walk to End Alzheimer’s
• Sitrin Foundation – Sitrin’s Stars & Stripes Run~Walk
• American Cancer Society – Making Strides Against Breast Cancer
• No Shave November
• American Red Cross – Ready 365 Partner

To spread awareness, we offer informative kick off meetings throughout the year that allow local representatives from these organizations to speak on-site to employees about  how their support helps and how they can get involved.

One of NYCM’s core values, succeed as a team, is ever-present as employees join together for causes that affect many of them on a personal level. Employees also use internal fundraising to support the causes they are passionate about.

Past fundraisers have included partnering with Love Your Melon and Pura Vida Bracelets for internal hat and bracelet sales, as well as employee-run golf outings and blackjack tournaments with our friends at Pathfinder Village. This year, for the month of September, we launched a “Casual for a Cause” campaign where employees could dress casually to work for the month in exchange for a $10 donation. Together as a team, we raised over $5,000, and all proceeds will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association where funds are used to support people in our local community.

At NYCM Insurance, we are incredibly proud to sponsor and partner with these organizations. As a company, we take pride in empowering from within and living our core values. In doing so, we enjoy showing support for the organizations that give hope to those who need it most.
