Mazonson LLC Employees Undertake Successful Fund-raising Effort to Assist Hurricane Disaster Victims

Mazonson LLC, New England's premiere insurance brokerage for growth-oriented businesses and individuals, today announced that Mazonson has raised, through internal employee and external donations and Mazonson LLC matching funds, in excess of $10,500 to benefit Hurricane Katrina victims. The funds were donated to both Angel Flight, a charitable organization that provides free air transportation for disaster victims, and Massachusetts Senator John Kerry's Hurricane Katrina emergency relief effort, in which emergency supplies were flown to Katrina victims.

In the wake of hurricane Katrina, Paul Mazonson, President, Mazonson LLC, pledged matching company funds if its employees could raise, through employee and outside contributions, $5,000. The successful fundraising effort was spearheaded by Mazonson employee Stephanie Heinen.

"Our organization takes pride in a spirit of generosity that is integral to our people and both our corporate culture and values," says Paul Mazonson. "As in the past, this great result underscores the determination and ability of the Mazonson family to rally around a worthy cause."

In an acceptance ceremony held October 18, 2005, Ms. Heinen and Catherine Quindazzi, a major Mazonson contributor, presented to Larry Camerlin, President, Angel Flight North, a donation in excess of $9,500. An additional $1,000 donation was earlier made in the form of supplies shipped as part of Senator Kerry's Hurricane Katrina emergency relief effort.
