Tree giveaway event in South Carolina

700 free trees distributed in coastal community of Myrtle Beach

SageSure donates $1 for policyholders who choose electronic document delivery

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is the fourth community to benefit from SageSure’s paperless enrollment initiative and partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation’s Community Tree Recovery Program. On April 7, 700 trees were distributed to community members through this eco-friendly giveback that provides free trees to storm-damaged communities.

Partnerships like this are possible because of the support of SageSure’s network of more than 11,400 independent agents and strategic distribution alliances. In Myrtle Beach, SageSure was joined by producer partners from the area, including Gail Mishoe and Ronnie Causey of Peoples Underwriters; Brandon Skipper of Southeastern Alliance Underwriters; Megan Cvinar and Monica Archer of McGriff; Terri Branson of We Insure; and Lyssa Pittman and Rachel Watson of Davis Insurance who volunteered to help distribute trees.

Since September 2020, SageSure has contributed over $110,845 and sponsored four community tree giveaway events in Onalaska, Texas; Wilmington, North Carolina; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, replacing more than 3,800 trees in areas devastated by natural disasters. SageSure continues to donate $1 to the Arbor Day Foundation’s Community Tree Recovery Program for every policyholder who chooses electronic delivery of their insurance documents.

A special thank you to the following producer partners who have encouraged the most paperless enrollments: Naftali Soloman, 718 Insurance Agency Inc.; Jeison Carrillo, Platinum Insurance Group; Sheri DeTiege, Lee Walker Agency Inc.; Bryan Duplantier, Alpha Insurance Agency; and Ariane Lopez, SerenityOne Insurance group. Fifty trees were planted in Superior National Forest in Minnesota as a thank you for their efforts.

Policyholders who enroll to receive electronic documents through the end of this year will support a fifth tree distribution event this fall in another coastal state where SageSure provides coverage. Encourage your policyholders to make the switch — check to see if a policyholder is enrolled for paperless document delivery in the Policy Overview section in the Agent Portal. If not, simply click the invite link to automatically send them an email to enroll.
