Inspired by its founders, giving back is a part of the company culture at Brightway.

December 14, 2016 // Franchising.com // JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Inspired by the generosity and leadership of its founders, brothers David and Michael Miller, Brightway Insurance finds creative ways to give back to the community of northeast Florida during the holidays and year-round. Through a recent toy drive for the Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots program, company employees collectively donated more than 100 toys, including six bicycles, that the Marine Corps picked up at Brightway’s Home Office today.

“David and Michael Miller founded Brightway Insurance to help everyone associated with the business achieve their personal potential,” said Brightway President, Talman Howard. “They bring that same vision and passion to benefit organizations in Northeast Florida and have ignited a true spirit of giving and community involvement throughout the company.”

In addition to the toy donation, employees also held a raffle contest to raise money for the United Way of Northeast Florida. The competition, which encouraged teams to create holiday gift baskets, generated more than $1,600 for the local non-profit organization. Employees also wrote hand-written holiday greetings in cards that went to residents at a local nursing home.

A long-time member of the United Way of Northeast Florida’s Board of Directors, Brightway Founder David Miller has been dedicated to the organization, helping launch the Upstream program and working with the organization to develop a strategic plan.
