FORESTER'S FINANCIAL:

Grant Maker and So Much More!

Submitted by Brent Curry & Y.O.U., Inc.

A man ahead of his time, Dr. Oronhyatekha championed the rights of women, children and minorities. He also insisted on admitting women as full members of the organization and providing benefits to the orphans of Foresters members.

Today, more than three million customers and members in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom benefit from the foundation of experience, expertise and reliability we have built over two centuries. During this time, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to help improve family well-being and, each year, we invest millions to support causes that enrich the lives of families and communities.

At Foresters FinancialTM we take responsibility for helping our members, their families and their communities to do more. We offer our members quality life insurance products, while also giving them access to many member benefits.

We would like to thank Foresters Financial for their generous support of the STEP-UP program. Foresters Financial can be found at www.foresters.com. The following is an excerpt of the outstanding history and involvement of Foresters.

Foresters FinancialTM is an international financial services provider with a unique history that began in 1874 when we set out to provide access to life insurance for average working families. More than 140 years later, we provide investment, life insurance, retirement and savings solutions that help families achieve their long-term financial goals.

Throughout our history, we have been at the forefront of several milestones in the North American life insurance landscape, often pioneering trends that would later become commonplace. One of our first leaders, Dr. Oronhyatekha, was one of Canada’s first Native doctors to include western medicine in his practice.
