Winning combination: UNCF - Allstate - HBCUConnect!

With a long history of giving back - having just hosted their third annual in-house Supplier Diversity Exchange - Allstate continues to push the needle of support with their latest initiative focused on HBCU's.

Allstate realizes this economic downturn has been disastrous for millions of families - to probably include some of your friends and relatives. Houses have been foreclosed on, jobs have been lost and students have had to skip a semester or two, or school all together because of a lack of funds.

This reality has caused Allstate to step up (again) this year and offer to donate a potential $100,000 to the UNCF organization.

For every quote that is generated before September 30th, Allstate will donate $5 to UNCF (up to $100,000).

This is BIG - this is DOUBLE their 2009 Quotes For Education donation. PLEASE make this dream of HIGHER EDUCATION at an HBCU possible for someone else: 1) click the below link and request a quote (no purchase necessary) and 2) copy the link and send it to your friends encouraging them to do the same. Go ahead - CLICK THE LINK and help make a difference!
