We are excited to announce that WalkerHughes Insurance is proudly partnering with American Heart Association as our agency's ‘Charity of the Quarter’ in Quarter 3 of 2022.
About our Referral Program
At WalkerHughes Insurance, there is no higher compliment than a referral. A referral indicates that we have met the mark for our customers and that they are satisfied with the service provided. We are pleased when our customers trust us enough to recommend us to those closest to them. We know how important friends and family members are, and we promise to treat yours as if they were our own!
For every customer referring friends and family members that complete a no-obligation insurance review us, we will send you a $5 coffee e-gift card to treat you to a coffee or a pastry if that is what you prefer! As part of our referral program, we will also make a matching $5 donation to our agency’s ‘Charity of the Quarter’. The purpose of this program is to help organizations close to the hearts of our employees while providing our customers the opportunity to not only receive a coffee on us, but to also help a worthy cause by referring their friends and family. In addition, this also gives us the opportunity to promote awareness of these organizations in our communities through our online presence.
Why American Heart Association?
The American Heart Association was nominated by WalkerHughes team member Carole Beadle as our agency’s Charity of the Quarter. Carol is an Account Manager in the WalkerHughes Employee Benefits department and works out of the Indianapolis office. She has a personal connection to the American Heart Association and is impressed by all the resources that the organization has to help people navigate heart disease as well as prevention.
When WalkerHughes was accepting nominations for the Charity of the Quarter program, Carol quickly submitted Indiana Dream Center. “I think a lot of the education pieces, to me, is what really stands out because they provide so many resources like education about the disease itself. The prevention standpoint, which is really big, especially now when it’s pretty much an epidemic here in the United States with people and heart disease. And then the tools. They help people with smoking cessation and that type of thing. Any kind of counseling they need, nutritional counseling, all those pieces are something they bring to the table," stated Carol. Carol also stressed the importance of healthy lifestyle choices and preventative healthcare with genetics being a major factor and diagnoses occurring much earlier than in the past.

Support the American Heart Association by participating in events to raise money and awareness in your community, volunteer if you prefer to give time more than money, use your passions to create a fundraising campaign, or donate either personally, through corporate donation, honor and memorial gifting, or leaving a legacy donation.
About the Heart Walk
WalkerHughes is excited to participate in the 31st annual Indianapolis Heart Walk at Victory field on October 1st. This event raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for the American Heart Association and celebrates survivors of heart disease and stroke. We are excited to not only have an opportunity to get members of our team together outside of working hours for a heart healthy activity but also excited for the opportunity to fundraise for such a wonderful cause! We will be also launching a companywide steps challenge in conjunction with the heart walk to focus on heart healthy habits amongst our team!!
