The people at Manulife Financial care about their clients. They also care about the community, which is why the firm regularly steps up as a sponsor of the annual Hope for Firefighters event.
As a Food Booth sponsor, they make it possible for a fire station to get supplies and cook up some exciting dishes for the popular food festival, which benefits the Widows, Orphans & Disabled Firemen’s Fund. Most recently, they were paired with the Fire Prevention Bureau and Incident Commander (FPB). In fact, the staff at Manulife goes all in, even wearing cheese hats one year to promote the team’s grilled cheese sandwiches.
LAFD Fire Inspector Martin Gutierrez, who works the Fire Prevention Bureau booth each year, said, “Manulife has sponsored our booth for many years, which has developed a friendship relationship. One of the things I look forward to is having Manulife—Karen Gaines, Norma Madrid and Elysa Williams—as our partners. These ladies are the greatest!”
