Local Charity Donations - CH Insurance is proud to be part of Big I NY giving back to the communities we serve. On January 14, 2026, we presented $25,000 to 20 incredible local charitable organizations during a breakfast reception. Each organization was nominated by our members and golf tournament attendees — highlighting the power of coming together to make a meaningful local impact.

Spreading Holiday Cheer - Small acts can make a big impact, especially during the holidays. This year, we were proud to support three local families through The Salvation Army by delivering gifts and groceries to help make their holidays a little brighter. Giving back is at the heart of what we do, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to come together and spread joy, kindness, and holiday cheer within our community.
