San Mateo, CA, December 29, 2017 – Helping others is at the heart of California Casualty’s values. The company, which provides auto and home insurance to American heroes, is proud of the donations it made in 2017 to the professions it serves: educators, peace officers, firefighters/EMTs and nurses.
A total of $433,730 was given through a variety of awards, sponsorships, grants and programs that directly benefitted affinity groups and members across the nation. Some of the highlights included:
- $83,000 in Thomas R. Brown Athletics Grants to benefit high school and middle school sports programs

To complement the company’s financial commitments, California Casualty employees also donated resources and hundreds of hours of time to group sponsored events such as benefit fairs and fundraisers. Staff at each of the company’s service centers also participated in activities to raise funds for fallen firefighters, cancer research, the American Heart Association, food banks, school supplies, holiday giving programs and food and comfort for homeless pets.
“The American heroes we work with give so much to help others, even in times of adversity, and we feel an obligation to say thanks by giving back in meaningful ways that let them know how grateful we are for all they do,” said California Casualty CEO Beau Brown. California Casualty encourages others to give to causes that help others. It’s a great way to end 2017.
