Gigi's Playhouse
|
Public adjusters have joined in support of Gigi’s Playhouse Tampa which is breaking ground in 2018. This amazing group has a mission to change the way the world views Down Syndrome through education, empowerment and training of individuals with Down Syndrome and their families. It’s an amazing facility that will be open in Tampa by the end of 2018 thanks, in part, to the donations raised by FAPIA from public insurance adjusters. FAPIA members have been invited to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony and a stone will be dedicated to public adjusters for the important fundraising effort that FAPIA made for Gigi’s Playhouse. Watch the video to learn more about the special day when we were able to present our donation.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY 2017
|
Public adjusters from around the state returned to support Habitat for Humanity Broward in 2017. It is truly rewarding to give back and FAPIA’s Community Affairs Committee joined by Florida Professional Law Group helped create shelter for several families. Public adjusters joined by a future homeowner helped put a roof on three homes in one day. Many of our members came out to support fellow Floridians and to build on FAPIA’s partnership with Habitat for Humanity. Public adjusters give back in their communities all over Florida and we are very proud of the important work they do to help others.

FAPIA Community Affairs Committee launched the Public Adjusters Pay It Forward campaign today at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital with a gift of toys, games, arts and craft and a gaming system gift to their playrooms as well as a hilarious and very entertaining magic show all made possible through the generous donations of the members of the Florida Association of Public Insurance Adjusters collected at the FAPIA Spring Conference at the FIU Kovens Conference Center. Special thanks to Committee Co-Chairs, Alex Belben and Karen Hoffman Schiffmiller for volunteering their time and energy to make this event a success! It was a very exciting and rewarding experience for all who attended.

A Message From Karen Schiffmiller, Community Affairs Committee Chair:
The Florida Association of Public Insurance Adjusters Community Affairs Committee was formed in 2014 with one philanthropic goal ... Engage the public adjusting industry in being selfless and giving back to local communities throughout the State of Florida. Our members requested this opportunity, specifically wishing that our efforts not be used to promote any individual or businesses. Instead the Public Adjusters Pay It Forward campaign is focused on offering an opportunity for our industry to express their concern and do something for the less fortunate and for socially useful charities in Florida. My passion and heart has always been to help others and this Committee, and the work that we do, is extremely important. Due to the generous donations from our members, we have had much success in donating funds to several charitable organizations since the inception of the Committee. We could not do the work we do if it were not for you. We continue to need your help and ask that you please make a donation so that you can help make a difference in the lives of those in need. |
