Here’s How You (Thanks to Mercury Insurance) Can Help Raise Big Money for BIG SUNDAY

Mercury Insurance, a major sponsor of Big Sunday, has come up with an innovative way to help us raise $15,000 — but we need your help.

Mercury has agreed to donate $5 to Big Sunday every time one of our volunteers or friends gets an online auto insurance quote from the company’s website. (A maximum of one donation will be made per household.)

That’s right, it’s that easy. And who knows? You might find that you’ll save a bunch on your auto insurance because Mercury offers some of the lowest rates in California.

There is no obligation to sign up with Mercury; and it takes just five minutes to fill out the form online and get a quote. (Trust us, we did this.) If you like the rate you receive, you can then submit it to one of Mercury’s many local, independent agents to learn more about what Mercury can do for you and your family.

“Mercury is extremely proud to support Big Sunday ’08,” said Mercury’s Advertising Director, Erik Thompson. “We’ve been protecting Southern California families for more than 46 years, and Big Sunday is great way for the company and our employees to give back to the communities that have supported us for so long.”

Make sure you enter “Big Sunday” in the field marked “Promotion Code.” Otherwise, Mercury won’t know to make the donation.

“This is a win for everyone,” said Big Sunday Development Director Tracy Austin. “Big Sunday raises money, which helps keep the event free, and our volunteers may wind up with a great deal on car insurance. It’s just like the Big Sunday logo says: ‘Everyone Helps, Everyone Wins.’”
