The Portee Insurance Agency Initiates Community Charity Event to Benefit Diabetes Survivors in and Around the DC Metro Area
Silver Spring, MD (PRWEB) October 17, 2016 -- The Portee Insurance Agency, a Maryland-based insurance and financial planning firm with offices that serve central Maryland and the greater DC metropolitan area, is embarking on a charity drive to promote awareness of diabetes and gather donations that will be used to research diabetes treatments and cures.
November is American Diabetes Month, and the Portee Agency will be focusing efforts on raising awareness of diabetes within the DC community. Diabetes is a relatively common disease that affects the sugar processing ability of the body, and with over 29 million Americans facing a diabetes diagnosis, it is rapidly becoming one of the most serious maladies affecting the general population.
“Nearly 10% of Americans struggle with diabetes, and this charity event is designed to help focus the efforts of our community on finding better treatments or even cures to this all too common disease,” says Ralph Portee, founder and acting manager of the Portee Insurance Agency.
Portee and his team are utilizing multiple online channels including social media and an email update system to help spread information about diabetes and gather support for the charity event from local families and civic leaders. A full length article on the charity effort will be published in the upcoming issue of “Our Hometown,” a community interest webzine hosted by Portee Insurance: http://www.porteeinsurance.com/Our-Hometown-Magazine_41.
Nearly a dozen DC area charitable organization and nonprofit foundations throughout the DC metro region have received assistance from the Portee Insurance team over the last two years. Portee Insurance Agency is a longtime member of the “Agents of Change” national charity support movement, and plans to continue assisting local charitable causes regularly over the months to come.
