Sentry Insurance
STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU) — Sentry Insurance of Stevens Point is making a six-figure contribution to the recovery efforts following fires in Hawaii.
Chairman and CEO Pete McPartland announced the $275,000 initial donation on Monday, citing Sentry’s ties to the islands through their sponsorship of a PGA golf event.
“During the six years Sentry has been sponsoring The Sentry (formerly Sentry Tournament of Champions) in Kapalua, we’ve invested our time in getting to know the island of Maui and its people on an intimate level,” said McPartland. “Our Connected Communities initiative has served to connect the island of Maui with Stevens Point, Wisconsin where Sentry is headquartered. Leaders of both communities have formed close friendships and have engaged in joint problem-solving. Sentry has come to embrace Maui as being a Sentry community, no differently than Stevens Point.”
The $250,000 donation will be made to the Maui United Way to help bring immediate relief to island residents. Sentry will also donate $25,000 to the University of Hawai‘i–Maui, aimed at helping alleviate tuition and related costs for students directly affected by the fires.
Sentry Foundation will also match any contributions to these organizations made by employees.
