Austin, TX – Texas Mutual Insurance Company was recently named by Texas First Lady Cecilia Abbott – in conjunction with the OneStar Foundation – as the recipient of the 2020 Corporate Community Impact Award for its significant and measurable contribution to Texas communities through service and volunteering in the past year.
“On behalf of all of us at Texas Mutual, we are honored to receive this recognition,” said Rich Gergasko, president and CEO of Texas Mutual. “As the leading provider of workers’ compensation in the state, we are committed to building a stronger, safer Texas. It’s a commitment that I see our employees deliver on each and every day, and it’s humbling to see our work recognized through this award.”
The Governor’s Volunteer Awards are presented in conjunction with the OneStar Foundation, which was created to support the State of Texas by strengthening the nonprofit sector, encouraging civic engagement through service and volunteering, promoting innovative strategies to address local issues, and facilitating public-private partnerships to expand the reach of the sector.
Texas First Lady Cecilia Abbott served as Honorary Chair of the 37th annual Governor’s Volunteer Awards.
“The irrepressible spirit of service shines brightly in Texas,” the First Lady said in a press release. “I am honored to celebrate the extraordinary generosity of these 12 outstanding awardees, who have found selfless and compassionate solutions to strengthen their communities.”
In 2019, 473 Texas Mutual employees volunteered an impressive 5,300 hours for 103 nonprofit organizations across the state. The depth of Texas Mutual’s engagement can be seen in their longstanding partnership with the Central Texas Food Bank. In addition to providing nearly 550 hours of volunteer support to the organization, they also used their business expertise to revamp pantry distribution logistics and operations to better serve families in need.
