Liberty Mutual Insurance, one of the nation’s leading auto and home insurers with eight greater Dallas-Fort Worth offices, launched this month the return of its Like My Community Project, a Facebook-based campaign to provide $100,000 in support to local Dallas-Fort Worth non-profit causes. Seven organizations identified by Liberty Mutual’s local employees will vie for residents’ votes on Facebook, with the top three charities each receiving $30,000 and the four runners-up each earning $2,500. Dallas-Fort Worth residents can cast one vote daily for their favorite causes through Aug. 20 at facebook.com/libertydallas. An additional daily vote can be cast by texting “LMDAL” to 61698 and selecting the preferred cause. Liberty Mutual will announce the winners in late August.

This marks the second year Liberty Mutual Insurance has presented the Like My Community Project in Dallas-Fort Worth. In 2011, area residents chose the following organizations to receive $30,000 in funding from Liberty Mutual Insurance: Mary Crowley Cancer Research Centers, The Miracle League of Frisco, and The Samaritan Inn. Last year’s runners-up, each earning $2,500, were Big Thought, Dallas Black Dance Theatre, Dallas Lighthouse for the Blind and Family Resource Center of North Texas. This year’s seven non-profit nominees are new to the Like My Community Project.

The Liberty Mutual Dallas-Fort Worth area branch offices nominated this year’s causes for their tremendous impact on the local community. “Our local Liberty Mutual employees and agents are committed to helping customers protect their cars and homes, and are equally passionate about this community as a great place to live and work,” said Jeremy Hohn, area manager for Liberty Mutual Insurance, the nation’s eighth-largest auto and home insurer. Each of these worthy organizations also are featured in a short video on the Like My Community Dallas Facebook page, offering a behind-the-scenes look at each cause and the people they serve or missions they accomplish.
