Imagine It! Board Member and Primerica CFO Alison Rand was proud to announce that Imagine It! The Children’s Museum of Atlanta will honor Primerica for its “outstanding commitment to the wellbeing of children and families of our community” at the Museum’s gala, Amuse’UM, to be held on February 20, 2010.
Primerica Co-CEO Rick Williams served on the founding Board of Directors. Since officially opening in 2003, many Primerica employees and departments — from Community Relations to Publications — have contributed their time and talent to support the museum and its work with children.
“For nearly a decade,” says Rand, “the financial and in-kind resources that Primerica and its employees have provided have made a profound difference in the museum’s ability to spark imagination and discovery for more than 1,250,000 children and their caregivers. Through grant support, board leadership, committee involvement, graphic design and print services, Primerica has enabled Imagine It! to bring rich, innovative, hands-on learning experiences to families and schools in the metro Atlanta area.”
Imagine It! has created a unique place where children and parents can play and learn together about a variety of topics in a safe, fun and nurturing setting. Tens of thousands of disadvantaged children have been welcomed free of charge, and many provided with free transportation to the Museum, so that visitation barriers are broken down and resources are openly shared. Through extensive community collaborations, Imagine It! is mobilizing four of Atlanta’s most impoverished neighborhoods to engage parents in the education of their children using the educational tools of the Museum.
Primerica is proud to partner with the Museum and is honored to receive such recognition.

Changing lives is what Primerica is all about – and that philosophy doesn’t extend just to the families our reps help to get back on track financially. The Primerica Home Office here in Georgia recently donated $10,000 to the Gwinnett County Public Schools Foundation Fund Inc. to help enrich the education of children in Gwinnett.
This donation will support academic and college access programs for low to middle income students across the school district.
“Primerica is proud to be a partner with the Gwinnett County Public Schools Foundation Fund,” says Anne Soutter, Vice President, Primerica Community and Foundation Relations. “Our goal is to make an investment in education for this county, and to be a part of the development of our future community and business leaders – our students.”
Primerica has a long, proud history of community involvement. Since 2000, the Citi Foundation, through Primerica, has contributed more than $300,000 to Gwinnett County Schools and Programs. Additionally, Primerica employees have donated hundreds of volunteer hours each year in service to the Berkmar Cluster Mentoring Program.

With help from their team, a handful of Primerica offices are offering more than just financial solutions across kitchen tables in their community. They’re putting food on the table for hungry kids!
Ten Primerica offices in Ohio and Kentucky committed to a five-year, $500,000 commitment to the Kids Café program, a non-profit group started in 1996 that provides meals and tutoring to low-income children. Each week, hundreds of children get healthy meals and homework assistance at six locations around Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
Before the donation, the Kids Café budget was around $70,000, enabling the program to feed 2,000 children annually. Thanks to the ultimate “Primerica Makeover,” Kids Café will be able to expand its operations and ultimately feed 10,000 hungry children by the end of the year! Additionally, each Primerica office in the area will be sponsoring a Kids Café location where reps can volunteer their time.
“The representatives in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky learned that thousands of kids in this area go to bed at night without a meal,” explains Primerica representatives Chris and Elizabeth Koob.
“Hunger is just unacceptable to us. It affects brain development and learning, not to mention health,” he says. “So we all made a collective effort to support Kids Café. Doubling their annual budget will make an immediate impact because they already have the facilities in place.”
This story reminds us that there’s no limit to the number of ways Primerica and its representatives can reach out to the people in our neighborhoods, whether they need a financial solution or just a decent meal.
