Rathbun Insurance was thrilled to participate in the 18th annual Red Nose Ruckus, a spectacular evening of celebration and fundraising to benefit Child and Family Charities, presented by Jackson National Life Insurance. This meaningful event not only brought the community together for a night of joy but also raised vital funds to support programs that strengthen families, break cycles of abuse and neglect, and create brighter futures for at-risk youth.
As the Resilience Award Sponsor, Rathbun Insurance was deeply honored to celebrate individuals making a significant impact in our community. Our CEO, Ben Rathbun, recorded a video message to introduce this award—a moving moment highlighting why "Being There Matters Most" is at the core of our mission.
For 18 years, the Red Nose Ruckus has been a cornerstone fundraising event for Child and Family Charities. Through six departments and more than 30 programs, the organization serves as a beacon of hope for children, youth, and families. From supporting homeless and at-risk youth to strengthening families, their work is vital in building a stronger, more resilient community.
In addition to sponsoring the Resilience Award, Rathbun Insurance hosted a table at the gala, inviting a mix of staff and special guests. Joining our CEO Ben Rathbun, President David Finkbeiner, Producers Yuxuan Gao and Darren Bardell, and Account Manager Kenwon Simpson were two exceptional students from the Wilson Talent Center’s Business and Risk Management Program: La’Shayla Turner and Rashaun Gant.
Providing these talented students with an opportunity to experience a professional networking event tied to a meaningful cause was truly rewarding. It aligns with our commitment to mentorship, youth development, and community engagement.
The evening was filled with laughter, camaraderie, and inspiration. From the powerful stories shared by award recipients to the lively interactions at the tables, the Red Nose Ruckus reminded us all of the strength in coming together for a cause greater than ourselves.
At Rathbun Insurance, we are proud to support Child and Family Charities and their tireless efforts to build brighter futures. Events like this reaffirm why giving back is so important to us as an organization.
If you missed the event, you can still catch Ben’s message celebrating resilience and the importance of supporting our community.
Here’s to another successful year of the Red Nose Ruckus and many more opportunities to uplift and empower the community we are proud to call home! Thank you to everyone who made this event unforgettable. Together, we are creating brighter tomorrows.
