Combined Insurance, named by G.I. Jobs magazine as the number one Military Friendly® Employer in the country for the past two years, announced the partnership during a special ceremony this week at its headquarters in Glenview, Ill. At the ceremony, representatives from Combined Insurance presented a check for $5,000 to former pro football player Jason McKie for his veteran-focused foundation.

"At Combined Insurance, it is important for us to give back to organizations that support our nation's military veterans—in both time and resources," said Joseph Pennington, National Military Programs Manager at Combined Insurance. "We are honored to partner with the Jason McKie Foundation, which has gone above and beyond to help veterans by establishing scholarships for military dependents, providing emergency assistance for individual families to pay their medical and financial bills, and much more."

Through this partnership, Combined Insurance will be recognized as the number one sponsor for fundraising events that the Jason McKie Foundation hosts throughout 2016, including the Muller Acura Auto Show and Truck  Pull in Merrillville, Ind. on May 14. All proceeds from Combined Insurance's annual golf tournament, taking place August 25 at Chevy Chase Country Club in Wheeling, Ill., will also be donated to the Jason McKie Foundation.

McKie witnessed firsthand the sacrifices of our servicemen and women, growing up with a father who served in the Air Force for more than 20 years. Following his successful pro football career, McKie wanted to help veterans who were in need and launched the Jason McKie Foundation in 2008.

"I am looking forward to partnering with Combined Insurance, a company that has demonstrated it is aligned with the goal of the Jason McKie Foundation—to help our servicemen and women who are in emergency need and deserve our support," said Jason McKie.

Combined Insurance works with many military and veteran-focused organizations. In addition to the Jason McKie Foundation, Combined Insurance has provided support for Luke's Wings, the Fisher House Foundation, Snowball Express, the USO, and the Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation.

Named the number one Military Friendly Employer for the last two years, Combined Insurance has hired more than 2,500 military veterans and those with a military background since launching its veteran recruiting program in 2010. The supplemental insurance provider is committed to hiring 2,800 more by the end of 2017.
