Genesis Teams Up For Family Day At Modern Woodmen Park
DAVENPORT, Iowa -- Genesis Health System will team up with Big Brothers Big Sisters and MassMutual Financial Group for Family Day at Modern Woodmen Park on Sunday, August 3rd.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Mississippi Valley provides a variety of opportunities to bring magic to the life of a child. They are a regional non-profit organization that covers fourteen counties. Big Brothers Big Sisters provides a wide variety of activities each month for mentors and children in their community-based programs and their staff will be available on August 3rd to expand on these opportunities and programs for those who are interested.
MassMutual is offering eligible families free $50,000 term life insurance policies under MassMutual’s philanthropic LifeBridge Free Life Insurance Program. If an insured parent or legal guardian passes away during the 10-year term of the policy, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) will put $50,000 into a trust to be used for the educational expenses of dependent children.
Genesis, which understands the importance of educational opportunities in building strong communities, will provide up to 500 free tickets to all families to attend the Quad City River Bandits game set for 5 p.m. Signup for LifeBridge is not required.
"At MassMutual, we are trying to ensure that access to educational opportunities exists for children of all working families,'' said John Budish, Sr. MSSW, a Quad Cities representative of MassMutual. "There is no cost involved for qualified families and we hope many families in the Quad Cities will take advantage of this program.''
