COATESVILLE, PA — In a heartfelt display of community service and appreciation for those who have served the nation, State Farm agents across Chester County came together last week to host their Annual Veteran’s Day Bingo Game at the Coatesville VA Hospital. This year, the event successfully raised over $2,800, highlighting the agents’ commitment to supporting local veterans.
The funds collected were allocated to enhance the event experience by providing refreshments, decorations, and a range of prizes, from radios to VA Canteen Coupons. These coupons are particularly valuable as they serve as a financial resource for veterans, helping them with their needs. Any excess funds from the event are earmarked for donation to a local nonprofit organization, further extending the impact of this initiative.
Clayton Wood, a State Farm agent from Avondale, expressed a deep personal connection to the veterans, emphasizing the importance of the event. “Our veterans are my brothers and sisters in more ways than just through our military service,” Wood stated. “Our visit, where we host the Veterans Day Bingo, sends a loud and clear message to them that we appreciate you and all that you do and did for our country.”
This annual event is a testament to State Farm’s dedication to community outreach and support. By taking the time to honor and celebrate veterans, the agents are not only providing a day of joy and recognition but also fostering a spirit of gratitude and respect throughout Chester County. The initiative reflects a broader commitment by State Farm to give back to the communities in which they operate, reinforcing the importance of acknowledging and supporting those who have sacrificed for the nation.
