Community support

Pembridge proudly supports the community through sponsorships and contributions to various charitable organizations across the country including Easter Seals, Operation Red Nose, P.R.O. Kids, Women in Insurance Cancer Crusade (WICC), and many others.

Pembridge Staff Supports the Easter Seals Society

Pembridge took the opportunity to give back to our community by selling customized, Paris-inspired coasters. 100% of the proceeds raised were donated to the Easter Seals Society.

Pembridge is proud to support organizations that are dedicated to helping under privileged youth and has supported the Easter Seals Society for a number of years. The Easter Seals Society is committed to helping children and young adults with physical disabilities.

Pembridge staff members were quick to make sure they did not miss out on the opportunity to purchase their very own set and to help support such a worth-while cause. Due to the generosity of our staff, we were able to successfully raise over $300 for the Easter Seals Society.

Thank you to everyone that helped make this fundraising campaign a great success.

Pembridge Curls for Moncton Headstart

On Friday February 13, 2009, Pembridge Insurance Company was proud to participate in the 4th Annual Young Broker Network (YBN) Curling Bonspiel at the Beausejour Curling Club in Moncton, NB.

Each year, the YBN, a committee of the Insurance Brokers Associations of New Brunswick (IBANB) organizes this charity bonspiel in support of Moncton Headstart; an organization devoted to help parents of at-risk families learn to provide for their children and to teach them personal and interpersonal skills.

This year nearly 80 people attended and all were asked to bring a package of diapers in lieu of a registration fee. The 4,271 diapers that were collected were presented to the Moncton Headstart program.

Pembridge Teams up with P.R.O. Kids

Pembridge Insurance teamed up with P.R.O. Kids of Saint John, NB for the second straight year as the title sponsor of their annual High School Basketball Tournament on January 2nd – 4th, 2009. The tournament was also sponsored in part by Higgins Insurance, a local independent broker that represents Pembridge.

P.R.O. Kids is a non-profit program whose mission is to provide assistance to as many children and youth as possible who are unable to participate in sport, art, recreation or cultural activities due to financial limitations.

“This year’s event was a great success and we couldn’t have done it without the support of Pembridge”, thanked P.R.O Kids Program Manager, Tammy DeSaulniers.

This year, over $4,000 was raised through the Basketball Tournament. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the children and youth of the Saint John’s community.

Pembridge is proud to give back to our communities and we are honoured to be involved in a program that enables underprivileged youth the opportunity to participate in a number of recreational activities.
