Rush Insurance Group Named YMCA of Greater Springfield Corporate Partner Gold

SPRINGFIELD — Protecting what matters most has always been at the heart of Rush Insurance Group. While that often means helping clients safeguard their homes, businesses, and families, it also means investing in the organizations that make Western Mass. a stronger place to live.

That’s why Rush Insurance Group is proud to be recognized as a Corporate Partner Gold by the YMCA of Greater Springfield.

For Rush President Sam Hanmer, the partnership is more than a corporate sponsorship; it’s a continuation of a relationship that spans years of service on the YMCA’s board of directors and a shared commitment to strengthening the community.

“I’ve been fortunate to serve on the YMCA board for many years, and I’ve seen firsthand the difference this organization makes every day,” Hanmer said. “The YMCA gives children a place to grow, supports families during life’s challenges, promotes healthy living, and brings people together. At Rush, we believe protecting a community means more than providing insurance — it means investing in organizations that help people build better lives. We’re proud to support the YMCA and the incredible work they do throughout Greater Springfield.”

While helping clients protect what matters most remains its daily mission, Rush Insurance Group believes supporting strong nonprofit organizations is equally important to building thriving communities.

“The YMCA is fortunate to have community partners who understand that creating healthier, stronger neighborhoods requires long-term commitment,” said Dexter Johnson, president and CEO of the YMCA of Greater Springfield. “Rush Insurance Group has demonstrated that commitment through Sam’s years of board leadership and the company’s ongoing investment as a Corporate Partner Gold. Their support helps us provide opportunities for children, to strengthen families, and to ensure that everyone has access to programs that improve lives.”

Rush Insurance Group’s support helps the YMCA continue its mission of nurturing the potential of every child, improving health and well-being, and inspiring social responsibility throughout Greater Springfield.

“We often tell our clients that our job is to give them peace of mind for tomorrow,” Hanmer added. “Supporting organizations like the YMCA is another way we can help create a stronger future for the communities we all call home.”
