America & Me essay contest winners to be named soon
My Personal Michigan Hero.
That was the topic of the essays entered in our America & Me Essay Contest this past fall by eighth-grade students from all across Michigan.
Our judges have now chosen the top essays from each school, and a panel of finalist judges will soon select the statewide winners.
The top 10 winners, their families, and their teachers will travel to Lansing in May to be honored for their achievements.
Support the Cancer Society’s Relay for Life
Farm Bureau Insurance is supporting the American Cancer Society’s 24-hour Relay for Life in several Michigan communities throughout the spring and summer.
Relay for Life is a community celebration that gathers family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors to honor and remember those who have battled cancer.
It’s a team-centered event that raises funds for the battle against cancer--and it’s an unforgettable experience for everyone who takes part.
We encourage you to become involved with a 24-Hour Relay for Life in your community. Check the Relay for Life for further information.
ACES: Making a commitment to lifelong fitness
Nearly 420,000 students across Michigan took part in this past May’s celebration of ACES (All Children Exercising Simultaneously) With-a-Friend, the annual youth exercise program that focuses attention to the importance of lifelong fitness.
For the 15th consecutive year, ACES was sponsored by Farm Bureau Insurance. Michigan leads the nation in ACES participation.
The “With-a-Friend” aspect of the program encourages young people to invite their families and friends to exercise, too.
This year’s ACES is scheduled for Wednesday, May 4.
