The IBA is proud to have Foresters Financial join us as a Chairman Level Member, and are grateful that they were the presenting sponsor for the 2016 IBA Holiday Party which took place December 13TH, 2016 at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. This latest sponsorship reaffirms Foresters Financial’s ongoing commitment to do more to support the LGBT community.
“We believe in enhancing lives beyond a sound financial future—we also work toward building strong communities. That’s our purpose and it has been for 140 years,” said Bill Lipkus, President and CEO of Foresters Financial Holding Company, Inc. “And we are proud to support the IBA as a Chairman Member as it honors the strength of diversity and brings awareness to the LGBT and business communities.”
Through its sponsorship of an array of LGBT events and initiatives, Foresters Financial is helping affect positive change in communities across the US. Most recently, Foresters Financial became a sponsor of The Trevor Project, the only nationally accredited suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ youth under age 25.
Through 2016, Foresters Financial has sponsored the following organizations and events in support of the LBGTQ community:
- The EQ/CA Equality Awards
- The San Francisco Aids/Foundation Tribute Awards
- The Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center Vanguard Awards
- The Center New York Career Fair
- The Denver OutFront Power Party
- The Los Angeles GLSEN Respect Awards
- The San Diego Stepping Stone Living Out Loud Awards
- The Los Angeles Gay Men’s Chorus
We are thrilled that Forester’s Financial chose partnership with the IBA to introduce their commitment to the LGBT Community to the city of Philadelphia.
