Ep210: This Company's Street Teams Panhandle for Change for Alzheimer Patients
Today on CauseTalk Radio, Megan and I talk to Scott Goldberg, President of Bankers Life, a national life and health insurance brand, about their work with the Alzheimer's Association. In their 14 years of support, the company has raised more than $4.5 million to support the Alzheimer care, education and research. And they've done it by asking their agents to hit the streets and collect donations from passersby.
On the show, Megan, Scott and I discuss:
