IRON GIVE
Iron Ridge Insurance Services is proud to continue to support local nonprofits through THE IRON GIVE.
THE IRON GIVE is an annual celebration where Iron Ridge donates $500 to the charitable nonprofit of each team member’s choice.
"The IRON GIVE initiative is my favorite mission that helps our team give back to the community," said Norman Lutz, CEO of Iron Ridge Insurance Services. "This event is a testament to our unwavering commitment to the people around us as we forge a better world, one charitable act at a time."
Iron Ridge Insurance Services employees were also given a half-day off from work to allow team members the opportunity to donate their time to their favorite charity.
