COLUMBIA – In September 2022, Farm Bureau Insurance agents in upper East Tennessee counties participated in a golf tournament to raise $28,000 to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

More than 60 agents and sponsors from Greene, Washington, Sullivan, Unicoi, Carter, and Johnson counties participated in the fundraising golf tournament held September 19 at the Link Hills Country Club in Greeneville, Tenn.

Farm Bureau Insurance of Tennessee began a partnership with St. Jude in 2017 and surpassed its fundraising goal of $1 million in March 2022. “Our agents move the needle every day for what they contribute to our company,” said Regional Manager Kevin Kinser. “When you aim that kind of drive and success towards fundraising for a cause like St. Jude, you will see some pretty special results. We set out to raise $25,000 for St. Jude, and our agents and participants were able to pass that goal.”

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food so they can focus on helping their child live.
