This Memorial Day, Arbella employees joined the Massachusetts Military Heroes Fund and hundreds of volunteers to place thousands of American flags on the Boston Common, commemorating those who have given their lives for us.
To recognize and thank those special people who have made an impact on our lives, our Diversity and Inclusion Council gave out flowers for Mother's Day!
Team Arbella was out in full force supporting the annual Interfaith Social Services Stop the Stigma 5K! This event supported Interfaith's mission, which is to encourage acceptance, help support addiction, and eliminate mental health stigmas in our community. We are proud to sponsor and attend this event every year and continue our strong partnership together.
We had a blast at the 4th annual Sweat and Sip with Special Olympics Massachusetts! 💪 A huge thank you to Special Olympics athlete Beth and her mom Gina for leading the fitness class which raised $4,500 for Special Olympics Massachusetts! We're beyond grateful to be partners with such an outstanding organization.
Let's treat every day like it's Earth Day! 🌎 Arbella employees gathered to learn how they can reduce, reuse, and recycle in a way that honors our planet. Arbella will continue to research and implement environmentally friendly alternatives for a more sustainable workplace. We have some great plans ahead! To celebrate Earth Day, employees entered a raffle for Red Sox tickets, received custom Arbella reusable bags, and enjoyed Earth Day themed cookies.
The Arbella Insurance Foundation hosted a volunteer appreciation event to thank all of our dedicated employee volunteers for giving back to their communities and supporting important causes.

At the event, employees signed up for upcoming volunteer opportunities, entered a raffle, and enjoyed a sweet treat.
Our Arbella recruiting team met a lot of new faces at this spring's college career fairs. Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Arbella tables to say hello!
We celebrated the start of the Red Sox season by Rallying Against Cancer! ⚾ Our Arbella Activities Committee collected donations to support Dana Farber and The Jimmy Fund in their annual Rally Against Cancer.

We hosted a blood drive to support patients at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Dana Farber! We also got a very special visit from certified therapy dog, Ellie. Dog love has been proven to increase the "cuddle hormone" oxytocin and decrease the stress hormone cortisol.
