Mercury Partners With Employees to Raise Over $110,000
BREA, Calif., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mercury Insurance Group has
donated $110,000 to the Red Cross Hurricane Relief Fund, it was announced
today by the company's President and Chief Operating Officer, Gabriel Tirador.
Matching its employees' donations dollar for dollar, Mercury's contribution
will go directly to ongoing relief efforts in the wake of the devastation
wrought by Hurricanes Wilma, Rita and Katrina.
"Our claims teams were on the front lines of these terrible events,
writing checks and supporting our policy holders shortly after these storms
passed, but there are many others that also need help," said Tirador. "I am,
therefore, extremely proud to be able to make this contribution on behalf of
all of Mercury's employees and our outstanding network of independent agents
and brokers so that the residents of the affected areas can begin to rebuild
their lives."
Working together with local and federal government officials, Mercury's
emergency response teams were quickly deployed to hurricane-affected areas to
assist policyholders. In many cases Mercury made house calls and issued
checks on the spot to cover losses resulting from the storms.
"The American Red Cross is grateful for the generosity that Mercury
Insurance has shown to those devastated by Hurricanes Wilma, Rita and
Katrina," said Patrick Baker, CEO for the Orange County Chapter of the
American Red Cross. "Supporters like Mercury Insurance and their employees
will enable the Red Cross to provide help to those in need."
Mercury General Corp. (NYSE: MCY) provides insurance to individuals,
families, and businesses and is the parent company of Mercury Insurance Group.
