Tompkins Insurance and Selective Group donate to crisis hotline

By Billie Owens

Tompkins Insurance Agencies, Inc., and The Selective Group Foundation joined forces to support the positive efforts of RAP (Regional Action Phone, Inc.) in Genesee, Orleans and Wyoming Counties through a $1,000 grant.

“We strongly support and believe in the programs this organization provides for our neighbors and customers in our communities” said David Boyce, Tompkins Insurance president and CEO.

The grant represents a $500 donation from Tompkins Insurance Agencies, Inc., matched by a $500 grant from The Selective Group Foundation.

“The matching grant program allows us to partner with our agents to support the needs of the communities in which we serve and operate,” said Tony Albanese, Selective’s senior vice president, bonds, flood and agency development.

RAP is a private, nonprofit United Way agency started in 1986 with a crisis-hotline service. The agency’s services have grown to include crisis intervention, suicide prevention, referrals to support agencies, food pantry clearinghouse, education, outreach, and relay services to connect callers to agencies when immediate help is needed in times of crisis.

Tompkins Insurance Agencies, Inc. has 14 offices in western New York plus
six offices in central New York. As part of Tompkins Financial Corporation (trading as TMP on the NYSE Amex), the agency is affiliated with the Bank of Castile, Tompkins Trust Company and AM&M Financial Services.

It is an independent insurance agency offering coverage through more than 25
different companies for businesses and consumers. Further information is available by
