LIFE, Arlington, Va., has given the 2011 realLIFEstories client service awards to Robin Davey of Equitable, Clifton Park, N.Y.; Donald Blahnik of Onalaska, Wis.; Brenda Soto Bryan of Long Beach, Calif.; and Brent Kimball of Pembroke, N.H.
LIFE is the nonprofit group that runs the Life Insurance Awareness Month campaign every September.
The realLIFEstories award program, part of the awareness campaign, recognizes insurance agents who have provided life products and related products that have helped families at times of great financial need.
“The stories of these families are reminders of how life can change in an instant and how important it is to be prepared financially for life events that you can’t anticipate,” LIFE President Marvin Feldman says in a statement.
LIFE is telling the stories of the award winners in their clients in special sections in the September issues of Parents magazine and O magazines.
Davey won for persuading Steven Tedesco, a 28-year-old business owner, to buy life insurance protection for himself and his paving company. Just a few months later, Tedesco discovered that he had leukemia. He died two years later.
